We supply Shipping Containers Canada wide

There are numerous styles of shipping container, but 95% are what are termed “dry van containers”, these carry general freight. Refrigerated container designs for transporting either deep-frozen or chilled cargoes, and others which are generally called Bespoke Containers. These tend to be specifically designed for certain cargoes or special uses.

All shipping containers must conform to international standards such as ISO, UIC, TIR, and CSC. Give us a call and we can recommend the correct Container for you.

It’s easy to get confused by the term “Shipping containers”. Many businesses believe this describes shipping boxes to send materials from one location to another. While this can be true, the term “Shipping containers” is also another way of saying “storage containers”, “shipping containers”, or “steel containers.”
