Wide Selection of New Shipping Containers for Purchase

For those requiring pristine condition and maximum longevity, our new shipping container purchase options are ideal. IDEAL CONTAINERS offers brand-new containers directly from the manufacturer. These containers, often referred to as 'one-trip' containers, have only been used once to transport cargo. This ensures minimal wear and tear. They are perfect for long-term storage, high-value conversions, or international shipping. New containers come with a longer lifespan and often a cleaner aesthetic. We provide various sizes, including 20ft and 40ft options. When you make a new shipping container purchase from us, you invest in superior quality and peace of mind. We ensure a smooth transaction and delivery in Kenya.

Cost-Effective Used Shipping Container Purchase Options

If budget is a primary concern, our selection of used shipping containers offers excellent value. IDEAL CONTAINERS provides a range of quality used containers suitable for various applications. All our used containers undergo thorough inspection to ensure they are cargo-worthy and structurally sound. We categorize them based on their condition, from 'wind and watertight' (WWT) to 'cargo worthy' (CW). A used shipping container purchase is a sustainable and economical choice for storage, workshops, or basic conversions. We help you choose the best-used container that meets your functional requirements without breaking the bank. Our Kenya team ensures transparency regarding container history and condition.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shipping Container Purchase

What is the difference between 'new' and 'used' shipping containers for purchase?
When considering a shipping container purchase, 'new' containers are typically 'one-trip' units, meaning they've made one journey with cargo. They are in excellent condition with minimal cosmetic flaws. 'Used' containers have been in service longer and show signs of wear, but are structurally sound and watertight. The choice depends on your budget and specific application. IDEAL CONTAINERS offers both options in Kenya.
Do I need any special permits to place a shipping container on my property?
Permit requirements for placing a shipping container can vary depending on the local regulations in Kenya and the intended use of the container. For simple storage, permits might not be needed, but for conversions or permanent structures, building permits are often required. It's always best to check with your local authorities or consult with our team for guidance. We can offer general advice on local regulations.
How do I ensure the security of my purchased shipping container?
Shipping containers are inherently secure due to their robust steel construction. For enhanced security, you can add high-security lock boxes, which protect padlocks from bolt cutters. Reinforcing doors and installing alarms are also options. Our containers often come with standard locking mechanisms, but we can advise on further security enhancements. IDEAL CONTAINERS prioritizes the safety of your assets. We offer solutions to keep your container secure.
