What is the difference between a shipping container and a storage container?

A shipping container is typically suitable for transport when it meets the required condition and certification. A storage container is often used for secure static storage on sites, facilities or depots. Many containers can serve both purposes, but the right choice depends on condition, certification, delivery location and intended use.

When should I choose a high cube container?

Choose a high cube container when you need more internal height or additional storage volume. High cube containers are commonly used for taller cargo, bulky goods and applications where standard internal height is restrictive.

Can I rent a shipping or storage container instead of buying one?

Yes. Depending on location and availability, CBOX can advise on rental, leasing or purchase options. Rental is often practical for temporary storage or project use, while purchase can be suitable for long-term or repeated use.

Are used containers suitable for storage?

Used containers can be a practical and cost-effective choice for storage, provided the unit condition matches the intended use. CBOX can help assess whether a used, new or transport-ready container is the better option.

Can CBOX deliver shipping and storage containers internationally?

CBOX offers global delivery options and works through an international network. Delivery possibilities depend on stock location, destination, container type, quantity and local handling requirements.

Can shipping containers be modified?

Yes. Shipping containers can often be modified with access options, shelving, ventilation, lockboxes or project-specific changes. For more advanced requirements, CBOX can advise on special containers, engineering or custom builds.

Which container size should I choose?

The right size depends on the goods, site space, handling method and required capacity. Standard 20ft and 40ft containers are common choices, while high cube containers provide additional internal height. CBOX can help compare the most practical option for your application.
