CONTAINER mINI-SETS FOR SALE
Standard shipping containers that carry cargo are either 20ft or 40ft long and 8ft wide, the cost of these containers being transported around the world is off-set by the cargo that they carry so essentially they get free transit from China to their end location.
However, there is increasing demand for smaller containers made to the same specification as 20ft and 40ft containers. As these cannot carry cargo, we import them as ‘Russian doll sets’, this means that a 10ft container can house smaller containers. Normally, two 10ft containers are joined together utilising the ISO corner castings with twist locks which makes them into a 20ft container which will then fit in the stows of a cargo vessel or storage yard within the ISO imprint.
Once these containers arrive in depot they are either separated and sold separately or more often than not sold as sets. As these units have not carried cargo, they are not as cost-effective as standard 20ft or 40ft containers, however, they are a robust small container which suits many requirements. There are alternatives such as cut down containers or custom-built containers.
