Get a delivered priceA watertight container can still leave what’s inside wet.
That’s why we designed the XL Vent Container.
Rain doesn’t have to get in for moisture to form inside. Water vapour can condense on cold steel, creating droplets even in a watertight container.
The XL Vent Container’s patented airflow features help reduce the risk of condensation and dampness.
XL Vent Containers are new containers, available in 20ft and 40ft. Our used 45ft containers are not XL Vent Containers, so ask us about anti-condensation solutions when you request your quote.
Storage conditions and how the container is used still affect condensation risk.
