Shipping containers
Shipping containers are versatile and durable solutions for storage, transport, and custom applications. At DS Units, we offer a variety of shipping containers tailored to your industrial needs. Explore our selection below and choose the container that’s perfect for your project.
Types of shipping containers
Standard shipping container
Standard shipping containers are the most widely used containers worldwide. They are designed for safe transport by sea, road, and rail, and are also ideal for permanent or temporary storage.
Shipping container conversion
Converted shipping containers are fully customized to meet your specific needs. They combine the durability of a standard shipping container with custom solutions designed for comfort, functionality, or branding.
Industrial shipping container
Technical shipping containers are specifically designed to house and protect technical equipment. They are often used in industrial, energy, and infrastructure projects.
A Closer Look at Our Shipping Containers
We custom-convert shipping containers as needed, and—just like our other units—they are modular, allowing the final structure to be built in a variety of sizes. However, we are limited to a specific width of 2.43 meters per shipping container unit.
You can find an overview of all dimensions in our table.
Because we convert each of our shipping containers individually, they can be configured in a variety of ways. Modular construction offers many advantages; here are a few points that apply to converted shipping containers:
- Architecturally very attractive
- Quick production
- Stackable
- Start with an existing structure
- Very strong construction
- Standard shipping containers are unmodified containers that are primarily used for storage or as secure spaces.
- Technical shipping containers are designed to house technical installations, machinery, or utility systems.
- Converted shipping containers are fully customized, including insulation, technical systems, and finishes, and are suitable for a wide range of applications such as events, pop-ups, or project solutions.
Yes. Provided they are properly converted, insulated, and equipped with the necessary technical systems, shipping containers can be used for both temporary and permanent purposes. Their lifespan depends on their use, finish, and maintenance.
Yes. Shipping containers have a modular design and can be connected horizontally or vertically to form larger structures, depending on the project and technical requirements.
Certainly. Shipping containers can be equipped with, among other things:
- Electricity and lighting
- Ventilation or climate control
- Technical racks and machine setups
