Steel Containers

More about our steel containers

Uses

Steel containers – also called dry cargo containers – are ideal for short- or long-term storage of a wide range of goods, from retail stock to bulky tools, equipment, supplies or construction materials.

For example, they’re ideal for construction site storage, agricultural storage, retail storage and inventory storage purposes.

Specs

All Big Box Containers branches offer 6- and 12-metre dry cargo containers, as well as Hi-Cube containers – which have higher ceilings. Our Gauteng branches also offer smaller, 3-metre containers.

All our steel containers feature double lockable doors, for security and ease of access.
