When you think of a container, the standard 20ft variety probably comes to mind first. But did you know there are smaller containers as well? From 4ft to 10ft, small containers offer a surprising number of possibilities. Whether you need extra storage space, are looking for a compact workshop or want to create a mobile bar. There is actually always a solution. In this blog, we'll tell you all about the benefits of small containers and show you what variants Hacon Containers has to offer.
Of course, the term "small" is different for everyone. We speak of small containers up to and including 10ft. These containers are a smart solution in many situations. For example, there are several advantages to list:
Do you have limited space? Then a small container is ideal. Whether it's at a construction site, festival site or business park, a smaller container fits almost anywhere.
Small containers are lighter and easier to transport than standard 20ft containers. This means fewer logistical challenges and lower transportation costs.
Whether you need temporary storage or want to create a permanent workspace, small containers offer endless possibilities. They are quick to install and easy to customize.
Because they are smaller, these containers are also sometimes cheaper than larger models. Perfect if the budget is as small as the container solution.
(Almost) all large containers also come in a smaller version. So from cold storage to mobile offices, everything can also be done in a small container.
Not everyone needs a large container. The biggest reason to choose a small container is because you simply don't always need a 20ft or 40ft container. Think of storage for small tools or pop-up bars and food trucks on a festival site. When the workspace is limited or temporary, but the space needed doesn't have to be very large either, you're always more economical with a small container.
Hacon Containers has a large selection of small containers. We list our small containers for you:
These containers are ideal for safely storing tools, machinery or goods. They are compact and easy to move. We have storage containers in 4ft, 5ft, 8ft and 10ft, with different types of floors and doors.
Small reefers are used a lot during festivals and events. Often each bar (section) gets its own storage and it doesn't have to be that big. So then a 10ft reefer is the perfect choice. This small reefer container is also widely used around the holidays by butchers and supermarkets for extra storage.
Also widely used at events and festivals: the bar container or dispensing container. Incidentally, this container is also often used in the construction or petrochemical industry as a warehouse. We also have these in a 10ft variant, so even with limited space you can simply sell food and drinks and store and dispense the necessary materials and clothing.
If you are (temporarily) looking for a dry place to work in, equipped with shelving units and a workbench, the workshop container is a very nice solution. And if you are only alone, an 8ft or 10ft workshop container is more than enough
Looking for a small solution for safe storage of liquids? Then choose a 4ft, 8ft or 10ft drip tray container from Hacon Containers.
Accommodation units are enormously versatile. Think of a temporary office, a canteen or a control room for security at a field event, for example.
Observation containers can even be used aboard a ship, for example, as control rooms. These containers are also available in a 10ft variant.
You would almost forget them, but sometimes you don't need a whole container, just a stable platform. A platform is often used when standard containers are not suitable because of the size or weight of the cargo. But they are also often used to bridge ditches in agriculture, as a stable storage floor to keep goods above ground, or to raise the floor height of an existing container. And so if you only need two or three meters, you choose a smaller platform.
4ft containers and 5ft containers are not container sizes that are very common. But 4ft and 5ft containers are very handy, especially when you don't have a lot of space to place a container or when you simply don't need a lot of (storage) space.
The 5ft container is ideal for storing (garden) tools, generators, lawn mowers and household goods. With a height of 2.20 meters, you can easily stand in it. Thanks to the scoop holes on both sides, the container is easy to move. Instead of double doors, this container has a single door, providing extra convenience.
The 4ft container is often used as storage space on a construction site for small tools or with street workers. In the construction industry, this container is frequently converted into a distribution box on construction sites. Its compact size makes it easy to move with a pump truck or forklift.
Whatever solution you are looking for, a small container offers a surprisingly versatile and practical solution. At Hacon Containers, we have a wide range of small containers that we can also fully customize if needed. Want to know more?
