AN AFFORDABLE, PINT-SIZED POWERHOUSE

Our 6ft shipping containers are fantastic. Barely bigger than a small garden shed, they are affordable and relatively easy to move (compared to 20 or 40 footers!). They’re also rock solid and built to keep out the elements.

If you want to rent 6ft shipping containers, we have hundreds of these all over New Zealand in a variety of colours, including light blue, green and red. We think they look particularly cool in black – especially when placed in your garden.

Multiple uses for private customers and business clients

Customers of all kinds rent and buy 6ft shipping containers from us. Private users have found a wide range of innovative applications, from bike sheds to mini-workshops.

In a business setting, meanwhile, these 6ft storage centres are used to keep everything from cleaning supplies to retail stock safe and dry.

OUR 6FT SHIPPING CONTAINER DIMENSIONS

Let’s take a look at the external measurements of our 6ft container first. Knowing these is important when it comes to finding the best place to put it.

External dimensions

1.98m (length) x 1.95m (width) x 1.91m (height)

Next, you’ll need to know the internal dimensions before ordering to make sure buying or renting a 6ft shipping container is right for you – and that it is big enough for your needs.

Internal dimensions

1.80m (length) x 1.86m (width) x 1.73m (height)

WHAT CAN YOU FIT IN A 6FT SHIPPING CONTAINER?

No point fudging the truth here: a 6ft shipping container is not exactly huge! But that’s exactly why some customers love them. Far tougher than a shed, it’s an unobtrusive way of adding some secure storage to your home or business.

With good, careful stacking, you could store a reasonable amount of furniture (such as for a student apartment), several bikes, a large collection of books/DVDs, etc.

For tradespeople who don’t want to store their tools in a van for security reasons, a super-tough 6ft shipping container is a popular, affordable alternative.

CHECK OUT OUR OTHER CONTAINER SIZES

If our 6ft container’s not quite right for your needs, we’ve got something else in stock that will be. We also rent and sell:

8ft Shipping Container – think ‘rock solid garden shed’ or mini store room for your business.
10ft Shipping Container – this roomy storage space is ideal when a 20-footer is too large.
20ft Shipping Container – our most popular size is just right for most clients.
40ft Shipping Container – when maximum space is needed, this is the answer.
