Shipping Container Hire Costs

Shipping Container Hire Costs

Hiring a shipping container is an extremely cost effective, versatile and flexible way to store your goods. Customers may come across unexpected costs and pitfalls, if they’re attracted to cheap storage space when obtaining quotes. Some storage companies may offer their cheapest unit at a bargain basement price. Modern, sympathetic staging and lighting make these units appear enormous when in reality, they are small, and almost never have the capacity for your needs. A shipping container is the fail-safe way to ensure that you have enough space to fit everything that you need. It’s crucial that you know how much storage you need before you can obtain weekly storage costs.

Some Advice For Working Out Weekly Shipping Container Hire Costs:

• When obtaining a quote for shipping container hire, customers should ask for the height, width and length of a the container in metres (be aware of companies who aren’t able to provide these dimensions).
• A container with a height of 2.8 metres, a width of 2.3 metres and a length of 2.0 metres will have a capacity of 18.67 cubic metres (a multiplication of height, width and length in metres, gives a cubic metre capacity).
• Then customers should divide the weekly storage rate by the cubic metre capacity per week, which will give the cost per cubic metre per week. For example $34.95 / 18.67 cubic metres = $1.87 per cubic metre of storage per week.

• 8ft shipping container: capacity of 12 cubic metres & holds the contents of 2.5 standard bedrooms of goods = $35.95 per week / 12 cubic metres = $2.07 per cubic metre per week
• 10ft shipping container: capacity of 19 cubic metres & holds the contents of 3 standard bedrooms of goods = $45.95 per week / 19 cubic metres = $1.83 per cubic metre per week
