Insulating a shipping container in New Zealand can be achieved through several techniques, like adding insulation and ply-lining, using custom insulation kits, or applying spray foam. Given the varied weather conditions in New Zealand, it's pivotal to evaluate the local climate before selecting an insulation method. Such forethought ensures that your container remains both comfortable and energy-efficient.

FAQs

Does shipping container size matter?

Yes! First, determine how much on-site space you have, then how much you have to store. You can choose 10ft, 20ft, or 40ft standard or high cube containers.

What are the dimensions of the containers?

Externally, all units are 2.44m wide and 2.59m high. 10ft units are 2.99m long, 20ft units are 6.1m and 40ft units are 12.2m.

How will my container be delivered?

This will depend on what site access you have, and whether the truck needs to crane the container into position, such as over fences or down the side of a building wall. We will deliver your unit on either a HIAB truck, then use the crane to place it on the pre-prepared location. Or we will use a swinglift container truck which often carries heavier containers but has limited flexibility in where it can place the container.
