Shipping Containers for sale in Québec available at Conterm Containers. We’re all familiar with shipping containers. We see them stacked as they are offloaded from ships, piled on the backs of trains, loaded into airplanes, and laid on the beds of transport trucks.
While these containers are perfect vessels for hauling cargo – easily stackable, available in standard sizes, and durable to resist weather, damage, and thieves – they are also notable for the flexible range of other uses. Shipping containers for sale in Québec can also be employed as temporary and semi-permanent storage or modified to be used as homes, offices, garages, sleeping cabins, ticket offices, and just about anything else you can imagine.
History of Shipping Containers in Québec
Modern container shipping, as we know it, began in 1956. Five years later, the International Organization for Standardization set the criteria for shipping containers. Where goods once had to be packed then repacked as they moved between transports, standardization meant that goods could stay in the same stackable containers from the beginning of the journey to the end, saving time and money.

Questions About Shipping Containers for Sale in Québec
The first thing you need to decide before buying your shipping container is the size you’ll require. Our standard steel-made containers range from 10 feet to 40 feet, with a capacity that ranges from 24,910 lbs to 59,040 lbs. But we also offer a 40-foot, non-standard, steel-made format called High Cube, which offers additional height and storage space.

Then you need to decide whether you want a new or used shipping container. Used containers are less expensive but, while in good condition, they are not as immaculate as new ones. If you just need storage, choosing a used shipping container could be a good option. If the container is going to be used as a tiny home or restaurant, then we would recommend going with a new shipping container.
How long are you going to need the shipping container? If it’s a short time, then renting may be the best option. For a long-time use, owning might be a better choice. If you are undecided, you are also free to rent with an option to buy later.
You also have the option of having us deliver and install your container, or you can pick it up and transport it yourself.
Will you need the shipping container to be modified? We can meet your requirements by adding sections, doors, windows, electricity, plumbing, and much more. Ask us about alterations for an information booth, an outdoor concert stage, a mobile office, and other uses too! We offer numerous options of shipping container modifications.
