Absolute Containers offers a variety of new and used containers to suit our clients’ requirements. Container grading is important because not all containers are created equal, that is why we make use of a grading system to help distinguish between containers of varying quality. Containers are known for having a robust structure that can withstand harsh shipment, storage, and handling conditions. Shipping containers grades are based on the factors of aesthetics and structure and should be considered independently from each other. For instance, a container might be structurally sound while still having a few dents and some rust. All shipping containers can be classified in terms of; One Trip (aka New), grade A, B or C and so on. Each container is graded by the depots based on age, condition, dents, rust, etc. At Absolute Containers, we do not sell containers lower than C grade, with the aim of ensuring all shipping containers are graded wind and watertight to meet relevant standards. When considering container repairs and patches, it may not necessarily affect the containers grading but should follow the International Convention for Safe Containers requirements. A container that is wind and watertight means there are no holes in steel work and doors still...

Park Homes For Sale Offer Multiple Benefits   As the cost of fixed property has continued to mount, many South Africans have had to settle for a life in rented premises. By contrast, some have managed to secure ownership by exploring less conventional options. These new owners are among thousands of individuals, families and businesses that have chosen to invest in one of the increasingly popular park homes for sale in various parts of the country.   To erect this type of accommodation from timber and other traditional building materials can be expensive and could cost almost as much as any comparable new building. On the other hand, a prefabricated modular dwelling is much quicker and easier to assemble. It can be designed to the purchaser’s specifications and transported to the desired site when complete. Furthermore, when the modules employed for this purpose are steel shipping containers, the task is also far less expensive.   In practice, many of the so-called park homes for sale are not intended for residential use. When assembling a building from rectangular steel boxes, there is plenty of scope for the designer. The containers can be joined end-to-end, side-to-side or top-to-bottom, according to the new owner’s needs. The finished structure and proposed use...

Why Rent Shipping Containers?   Often, households and business owners can find they have a temporary need for extra storage space. Their requirement might be just for a couple of weeks, several months or even a year. In each case, regardless of whether the additional space is for domestic or business purposes, the most practical course will generally be to rent shipping containers. Not only do these units provide a versatile, durable and secure storage option, but to rent shipping containers rather than purchasing them can also offer several benefits.   There are many reasons why one might need extra space for a while. For example, when hiring a builder to perform a significant home makeover, you might need somewhere to store furniture temporarily while staying with family or friends. There are few better ways to be sure your prized possessions will remain safe from opportunistic thieves and undamaged by extremes of weather than sealing them inside a reinforced steel box.   Furthermore, when you rent shipping containers, you also have the option to relocate them with ease. Should the need arise, the unit and its contents can be loaded onto a flat-bed truck or rail car and transported safely to a new home or business premises, ready for...
