Frequently Asked Questions
In this section, you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about purchasing, shipping, and using our containers. If you can’t find the information you need here, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’ll be happy to help you choose the right solution.
Shipping Containers
What is the difference between a new and a used shipping container?
A new (one-trip) container has been used only once for transport and is in very good condition. A used container has been in service for a longer period of time; it may have cosmetic defects, but it is fully functional and more affordable.
How much does a shipping container cost?
The price depends on the size, condition, and current availability.
Smaller used containers start in the low tens of thousands of CZK; new containers are more expensive.
We will provide you with an exact price based on your specific request.
How quickly can you deliver the container?
We typically arrange delivery within a few days. It depends on the availability of the specific type and the location. We have most containers in stock or can get them quickly.
Where can the container be placed?
The container can be placed almost anywhere on a flat, paved surface.
There is no need for a traditional foundation like that used in construction; the important thing is to ensure access for transport and handling.
Do I need a building permit for a container?
In most cases, a standard building permit is not required, but it always depends on the specific use and location. We recommend checking with your local building authority.
How long will the container last?
Shipping containers are designed to withstand harsh conditions. Under normal use, they can last for decades, especially if they are properly installed and maintained.
Steel Storage Containers
What is the difference between a steel storage container and a shipping container?
Steel storage containers are primarily intended for storage in a single location.
They feature a lighter construction and a lower purchase price.
Shipping containers, on the other hand, are more robust and suitable for more demanding applications or further modifications.
When does it make sense to choose a steel storage container?
A steel storage container is ideal if:
- you are looking for an affordable solution
- you need storage space quickly
- the container will not be moved very often
- you do not need any special modifications or certifications
Collapsible Steel Containers
What is a collapsible steel container?
The collapsible container is delivered unassembled and is assembled at the installation site.
This makes it easier to transport and handle.
When is a collapsible container a good investment?
The ideal solution if:
- access to the area is limited (narrow streets, courtyards)
- you need to transport a container without heavy equipment
- you are looking for a flexible or temporary solution
How is a collapsible container assembled?
The container is delivered unassembled and is then put together on site.
Assembly is quick and does not require sophisticated equipment—basic tools are usually sufficient.
What are the advantages over a traditional container?
The main advantages are:
- lower shipping costs
- easier access to hard-to-reach places
- the ability to disassemble and move it again
Is a collapsible container just as durable?
The structure is designed for general storage.
It is lighter than traditional shipping containers, but fully adequate for standard use.
Custom Storage Container
What are the storage units made of?
Storage units are made from 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers. We modify them and divide them into smaller units. As a result, they feature a sturdy steel frame, high durability, and a long service life.
What sizes of storage units do you offer?
As standard, we build smaller XS units (3 m²) and S units (6 m²), or combinations tailored to your needs. We always design the size on a case-by-case basis to ensure it makes sense both economically and operationally.
Is custom container modification available?
Yes. We handle each project on a case-by-case basis—from the size of the booths, to the doors, to the electrical wiring, and all the way to the overall layout of the facility.
Can you also help us with the design of the entire complex?
Yes. We’ll design the container layout, prepare the plan, and help you maximize space utilization. This also includes consultation on regulations and permits.
How long does the project take to complete?
It depends on the scope of the project. We can deliver smaller projects within a matter of weeks; for larger sites, we plan on a case-by-case basis. The key is that we prepare the containers in advance, so on-site work consists solely of installation.
Can the containers be used right away?
Yes. We deliver the booths ready for use—including doors, electrical wiring if required, and other components as specified.
Do you also handle the management and operation of the facility?
Yes. We can provide a reservation system as well as comprehensive management—from customer access to payment tracking. Alternatively, we can set up the system so that you can manage operations yourself.
How is security handled?
The containers feature a sturdy steel frame and secure locking mechanisms. The entire facility can be equipped with additional security features as needed (access control system, video surveillance, etc.).
Who is this solution suitable for?
For self-storage investors, companies looking for warehouse space, or operators who want a fast and scalable solution without traditional construction.
How do I get started?
Just send us a basic idea or the plot’s specifications. We’ll propose a specific solution for you, including the floor plan, price, and next steps.
