You can buy a used container from Hacon Containers. We have been specialists since 1981, with more than 40 years of experience in the sale, rental, and modification of shipping containers. From our locations in Rotterdam and Purmerend, we deliver more than 1,000 containers from stock. This guarantees you fast delivery, competitive prices, and expert advice. Whether you are looking for a container for storage, transport, or as a workspace, at Hacon you will always find a suitable used shipping container.
A used shipping container is cheaper to purchase than a new container. This means you immediately save on costs without compromising on quality. Examples include our 20-foot used standard shipping container or the 40-foot used High Cube container.
What's more, a second-hand container is a sustainable choice. You extend the life of an existing product and contribute to corporate social responsibility.
Used containers can be fully modified. Unlike rental containers, you can customize your own container to suit your needs. Thanks to the lower purchase price, you have more budget left over to have the container customized by Hacon Container Modifications. Think of insulation, extra doors, or a complete interior.

Not every container has the same certification. If you want to use the container for international transport, a CSC certificate is mandatory. Many of our used containers, such as the 40ft open top container or the 40ft standard container, are CSC certified and therefore suitable for shipping.
Are you using the container for storage or as a workshop on a construction site? Then CSC certification is not necessary. We are happy to help you make the right choice, depending on the purpose for which you are using the container.
We have a wide range of used containers in various sizes and designs. You can come to us for small sizes such as 4ft or 8ft, but also for standard sizes such as 20ft and 40ft. In addition, we offer special designs, such as High Cube containers for extra height, Open Top containers for loading from above, Reefer containers for refrigerated and frozen storage, and Tunnel containers with doors on both sides.
Our range varies, but thanks to our extensive stock, you will almost always find a container that suits your needs.
