Frequently asked questions

What is a CSC plated container?

When buying second-hand shipping containers you have 2 choices.

1. CSC plated containers suitable for international shipping
2. Containers suitable for self-storage

Both are ISO shipping containers which meet ISO standards. However, containers with a valid CSC plate have been certified for shipping use so you’ll need to order this type if you plan to ship cargo overseas.

Adaptainer stock both options for you.

How quickly can you deliver?

Delivery can usually be made within 3-4 working days. In case you need faster delivery please check for availability.

Which colours do you have?

New containers are available in green and blue. Second-hand containers are supplied in a mix of colours. We also offer repainting in your choice of colour as an add-on service.

How long are your delivery vehicles?

The longest delivery vehicle is approximately 65ft in length. If you have concerns about site access restrictions let us know and we’d be glad to discuss alternative delivery vehicle options.

Can I hire a container instead?

Yes, we rent and sell containers. Request a quote now to compare.
