Whether containers or logistics: we deliver uncomplicated solutions with experience.

1. Can I buy shipping containers directly from you?

Yes, we sell new and used shipping containers in various sizes and configurations – with or without delivery throughout Switzerland.

2. Do you also offer storage containers for private customers?

Yes, we also deliver to private individuals – for example, for storage, conversions, or garden projects. Delivery can be arranged with a crane directly to the desired location.

3. Are your containers wind- and waterproof?

Yes, all containers are tested to be wind- and waterproof. They are ideal for secure storage and are built robustly for use in any weather conditions.

4. How does delivery work?

We organise delivery by truck with crane unloading directly to your desired location in Switzerland – simple, efficient, and reliable.

5. How much does a shipping container cost?

Prices depend on the type, condition, and delivery location. We will gladly prepare a non-binding offer for you – just send us an enquiry via our website.

6. Can I inspect the container before purchase?

In most cases, inspections are not possible because we work with several logistics locations in Switzerland and nearby countries. This gives us access to a large selection of container types, colors, and quality grades.

For certain container types (e.g. used shipping containers of quality grade 1), we send photos for selection and approval after the order is placed. Our goal is to advise you honestly and transparently and deliver the right container without any surprises.

7. Can a container be customised to my needs?

Yes – many types of containers can be individually customised. Possible options include:

Painting in your desired color (RAL)
Company logo or labeling
Installation of doors, windows, or ventilation grilles
Insulated versions (e.g. refrigerated containers or factory-insulated models)

For complex modifications such as container homes or mobile offices, additional specialists are usually required (e.g. architects, building physicists, or metalworkers). Please note: A free cost estimate for such special projects is unfortunately not possible. We will be happy to advise you on the available options.

8. Can I rent a container instead of buying one?

Yes, we also offer containers for rent – depending on availability. Renting is ideal for short- or medium-term use, for example in case of temporary space needs or for construction sites.

9. How quickly can a container be delivered?

Delivery usually takes a few weeks – depending on the model and availability. For certain containers, we also offer express delivery within a few working days. The exact delivery time will be clearly stated in our offer.

10. What payment options are available?

Payment is usually made by invoice with prepayment or deposit. For business customers, individual payment terms can also be arranged depending on creditworthiness and project scope.
