Cost: The most obvious answer as to why you should choose an ex-hire container is obviously the price. Not only are you getting a tried and tested piece of kit, you are getting it at a reduced cost!

 

Readily Available: ​Unlike new units, second hand containers are often far more readily available - no long wait times for things to arrive.

 

Reduced Depreciation: Ex-hire containers have already undergone the majority of the depreciation that comes with a new product - this means that any initial investment put in to purchasing one should maintain its value.

 

Environment: By purchasing second hand you are helping to reduce the demand on steel production and shipping costs.
