Looking to buy a shipping container? HEROX Containers is a direct importer and keeps new and used containers in all common sizes in stock at European depots, with no middleman. This overview shows the complete range: from 10ft to 45ft, one-trip or cargo-worthy, and how the ordering process works.
HEROX Containers carries the complete range: 10ft (around 3 metres), 20ft (around 6 metres), 40ft (around 12 metres) and 45ft (around 13.7 metres), including High Cube versions with 30 centimetres of extra internal height for maximum loading volume. Double door, open side, flat rack and refrigerated containers are also available on request. Not sure which size is right? Shipping container dimensions differ considerably by application, such as for tool storage on the building site or for agricultural use.
New means one-trip: the container has made exactly one sea voyage and is in near-new condition. Used is cargo-worthy or A-grade: guaranteed wind and watertight, CSC-certified and inspected at the depot before it is delivered. For storage, used often offers the best value for money; if you want a smart, new appearance, choose one-trip. You can read more about what to look out for in this buying guide on warranty and certification.

Ordering a shipping container takes just a few short steps, with no middleman and a quote that lands in your inbox the same day.
From storage to workspace: the 20ft shipping container is the most popular size. View current stock and prices in the shop.
For long-term or frequent use, buying is usually the better value: the container remains an investment that holds its worth. For a temporary job, renovation or seasonal need, renting is more flexible, with no purchase budget up front. Both buying and renting are possible in every region, with the same delivery time.
The price depends on size, condition and any modifications, plus transport costs that depend on distance and how accessible the location is. Global freight rates feed into the price of new containers: according to the Xeneta Weekly Ocean Container Shipping Market Update (Hellenic Shipping News, July 2026), freight rates stayed flat last week, pointing to a calm market with no major price swings. For the current price per size see the table below, or read the detailed price analysis in shipping container prices in 2026 and what a shipping container costs.
Every size and condition is physically in stock at the European depots of HEROX, with no waiting time at a middleman. That means a shipping container is ready to deliver, even for an order of several units at once such as a business wholesale purchase. A selection from current stock:
Reliable 20ft standard container, wind & watertight, ideal for storage or transport.
Extra height 40ft HC container — 2.70m internal height for maximum volume.
Spacious 40ft standard container with double doors, perfect for larger storage needs.
Never buy blind and pay up front: always ask for the inspection report and the CSC plate, and choose payment after delivery if you prefer. That way you run no risk of paying in advance without delivery. Read more about buying a shipping container safely without a middleman.
Ask for advice or a no-obligation quote. Your name and contact details are enough; on working days you receive a concrete proposal within the hour.
That depends on size and condition: a used 20ft container starts at {{price:20ft:used}}, a new (one-trip) 20ft container at {{price:20ft:new}}. Larger sizes such as 40ft cost more, but also offer more loading volume. Transport costs are added separately and depend on distance and accessibility. You receive an exact amount including transport on working days within the hour via a quote request.
That depends on the application: 10ft (around 3 metres) is compact and suited to small-scale storage, 20ft (around 6 metres) is the practical middle ground for tools and materials, and 40ft or 45ft (12 to 13.7 metres) offer maximum volume for large stock or a spacious workspace. High Cube adds 30 centimetres of extra internal height.
Yes, both private individuals and businesses can buy a shipping container from HEROX, in any size and condition you want. The process is the same for both: a quote request with the type you want and the delivery location gives you a firm price on working days within the hour, after which the container is usually delivered within 3 to 7 working days.
For long-term or frequent use, buying is usually the better value, because the container remains an investment that holds its worth. For a temporary need, such as a renovation or seasonal job, renting is more flexible and requires no purchase budget up front. Both options have the same fast delivery time across the country.
Delivery usually takes place within 3 to 7 working days from one of the European depots, by crane truck or sideloader. The container is placed exactly where you want it, provided the ground is reasonably level and firm and accessible for a lorry. The exact delivery date is stated in the quote you receive on working days within the hour.
