The 6′ insulated container is our smallest insulated storage container model. This small container provides warm and dry storage space for small storage needs, such as on construction sites as movable tool storage. Our insulated containers are built to withstand year-round use in all weather conditions, including the challenging cold winters in the Northern hemisphere.
This 6′ insulated container is a very popular insulated storage solution for year-round use. The insulation keeps moisture out, and with a heater, the space stays warm all year round. The container comes standard with double doors and two ventilation valves. Optional accessories include electricity, heating, and access doors. The container is only suitable for storage use (not for cargo use).
We use 40mm PIR insulation for the walls, doors, and ceiling of our insulated containers. The interior walls are made of white metal plates, making this bright space easy to keep clean and resistant to moisture. What’s best about this insulated model is that you get to skip potentially moldy wool insulation and plywood walls altogether. PIR insulation does not mold or lose its thermal value, so it lasts twice as long as cheap wool+plywood containers. With the same insulation thickness, the thermal values are 50% better compared to XPS and wool insulation, maximizing the internal dimensions of the container. To give the container a finished look, we use moldings in the interior corners.
We can also insulate the container with EI60 fire insulation.
Standard Features
Basic Information
Every time a container, whether it is a container for lease or sale, is moved around a depot, it requires a lift. The handling fee is a one-time cost that covers moving the container around in the depot areas. The fee is only applicable when you lease a container or have a one-way deal with us. We never charge you a handling fee when you buy a container outright, so there are no hidden costs.
It does not matter if you buy or lease a container; MC Containers can deliver it to you. We use a variety of container delivery methods, including the following container trucking methods:
Chassis delivery means that your new, used or modified container will be delivered to the destination on a container chassis. However, this service does not include removing it from the chassis. If you decide to buy a container, it is your responsibility to organize a crane or another piece of machinery to offload it. This is the most common container delivery method in Europe due to the better availability of trucks and cost effective rates.
On Ground Deliveries are done with a truck that can drop the container to the ground with it’s own equipment. Normally, the container delivery is done using a side loader or a truck equipped with a crane. The standard delivery price includes 30-45 min of unloading time per container and any extra time is billed at an hourly rate. If you don’t have a crane available or cannot organize one then this is the best and only option for you.
FOT DEPOT means Free on Truck in depot. With this container delivery method, the buyer is responsible for organizing a pickup from the chosen container depot. The seller will organize a lift to the chassis in the container depot, so you will not need a crane or side loader for the pickup.
Would you like to buy a container, but the price is just too much for your budget to pay in one payment? No worries, together with our partner we offer a flexible financial container lease service. We offer our clients the possibility of buying containers through a financial lease plan. This enables fast delivery with little capital investment. This payment type is only possible for clients with a European VAT ID.
Requirements
To order a shipping container through our lease plan service, the minimum order must be at least 500€, and the person leasing must have a European VAT number.
Shipping containers are made of corten steel. This sturdy material enables them to withstand extreme circumstances (wind, water, fire, ice, salt, sun) and any possible rough handling. A shipping container is used from 5-14 years for shipping; after this, they are released and used for other purposes, such as storage containers or modified container units for food and offices.
Containers that are not used for shipping are perfectly suitable to be used as storage containers. If taken care of, a used shipping container can be used for storage up to 10 years. It is also possible to extend the storage container’s use by regular maintenance, such as, painting, patching holes, changing seals, fixing the floor and taking care of or changing twist locks.
New shipping containers are usually brought to Europe from China. A new container can last anywhere up to 30 years when used as storage as long as it is looked after properly.
