Buying a shipping container may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about purchasing a new item, but there are a surprising number of benefits to owning one. Shipping containers have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their versatility, durability, and affordability. People use them for storage, as a workspace, as a home or office, and even for retail space. When it comes to using shipping containers, there are two main options: renting or buying. This article will explore the benefits of renting a container vs. buying a container. Flexibility: One of the main benefits of renting a container is flexibility. If you only need the container for a short period of time, then renting makes the most sense. For example, if you need extra storage space for a few months while you renovate your home, renting a container is a great option. You can return the container when you no longer need it and not worry about storage or maintenance costs. Cost: Shipping containers are relatively inexpensive compared to other types of construction materials. They are readily available and can be purchased at a fraction of the cost of building a traditional structure from scratch. This...

South Africa used to have two factories that specialised in manufacturing new shipping containers, but unfortunately closed down. Now most shipping containers are manufactured in China. When a container reaches the end of its shipping life they are sold as second-hand containers and are quite popular. In South Africa there is an informal container grading system which attempts to categorise these second-hand containers according to their appearance. This grading system is unfortunately not a scientific means and is not consistent across suppliers. The below image is the grading template used for second-hand containers showing quality and differences between B and C Grade containers: There are four distinct sizes of shipping containers: 6-meter or 20ft 6-meter high cube or 20ft HC 12-meter or 40ft 12-meter high cube or 40ft HC Shipping containers offer secure storage, the ability to be transported even full, they are robust and great value. Shipping containers although commonly used for storage do have a variety of uses since they may be converted and customised. Many conversions include but not limited to offices, accommodation, restaurants, ablutions, and classrooms.

Embargo is placed on abnormal loads and vehicles throughout the year over certain periods such as public holidays or long weekends. Every year the Department of Transport and Public Works released a National Road Traffic Act indicating the embargo on abnormal loads and vehicles during December and January period. For example, this year the Embargo period will be from the 9th of December 2022 to the 13th of January 2023. This affects the transportation industry with abnormal vehicles being a vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceed legal dimensions or mass, as well as abnormal load where the load being transported cannot be sectioned into smaller portions and exceeds the legal limitations. The Embargo that affects Absolute Containers deliveries is mainly for our prefabricated buildings that are over 3 meters wide. Classifying it as abnormal and in turn, requires a permit for transport. Different provinces require their own permits so in an instance where delivery is in Steelpoort we would require a permit for every province we travel through if the unit is classified as abnormal. This is the reason for some businesses to close during this time. ...
