The handy option for tight spots
If you don’t have much space to work with, a 10ft shipping container is often the best solution. At just 3m long, it’s the smallest standard size available but still gives you close to 16 cubic metres of storage. That’s enough for overflow stock, a shed’s worth of tools, or the contents of a small flat.
Because of their size, these units are popular with people and businesses that just don’t have space for a full 20ft container. Construction crews use them to keep equipment secure on smaller sites. Retailers bring them in when seasonal stock starts piling up. And households set them up on the driveway for extra space during a move or renovation.
Common Questions
Do they lock up?
Yes, every unit can be locked by placing a padlock on the locking rods and some newer models also have lockboxes for added protection, and Boxman can fit a lockbox on to any sale containers if they don't already have one.
Are they watertight?
Yes, they’re built for NZ weather.
What can they hold?
They have enough space for tools, business stock, or household stuff.
Why Choose a 10ft Shipping Container?
The biggest advantage is flexibility. They can fit where a larger container won’t, and they’re easier to transport and position. If you need storage but don’t want to lose half your site or backyard, a 10ft container does the job without taking over the space.
