Technical Basics and Equipment
Used shower containers are designed for mobile use. Equipment and condition differ depending on the year of manufacture and series; we check the exact features individually for each module. They generally feature:
- several shower cubicles depending on the configuration
- connections for water, wastewater and electricity
- integrated electrical installation (e.g. lighting)
- robust interior fittings for daily use
The specific equipment varies depending on the container and is described in the respective product details.
When Is a Used Shower Container Worth It?
A used shower container is the practical choice when additional shower capacity is needed at short notice and long delivery times are not an option. Typical use cases for our customers:
- Construction sites: Shower facilities for personnel directly at the site.
- Events: temporary sanitary infrastructure at festivals, sports and leisure events.
- Seasonal operations: additional showers in agriculture or industry during peak times.
- Interim solution: supplementing existing sanitary facilities during renovations or high utilisation.
WC and Combined Solutions
Do you need toilets alongside showers? You will find pure used WC containers and other sanitary solutions in our used sanitary containers category. Modules that combine shower and WC in one unit are also available in our stock, saving installation space and covering both functions.

FAQ
What does a used shower container cost?
Prices currently range between €4,500 and €5,000 net, depending on equipment and condition. Pure shower containers start at around €4,500, while combined modules with additional WCs are priced higher. All prices are exclusive of VAT and plus delivery costs; the specific individual offer is always binding.
What condition are the used shower containers in?
The containers were previously in use in our rental fleet and show corresponding signs of use. They are technically functional. Before delivery, we inspect all sanitary and electrical systems. We describe the individual condition of each module in the respective product details.
Which connections does a shower container need?
Connections for water, wastewater and electricity are required. Please note that the water installation is not designed as a drinking water system. The exact connection specifications for the respective module can be found in the product details.
Can I view the container before purchase?
An on-site viewing is generally not possible. In the shop, you will find detailed product information as well as images for the respective container. If you have any questions about the condition or equipment, you can contact us at any time.
How quickly can a used shower container be delivered?
As these are containers from stock, used shower containers are generally available at short notice. Thanks to our own fleet, we deliver nationwide and place the modules directly at the desired location by crane.
What is the difference between a shower container and a shower/WC container?
A pure shower container contains only shower cubicles and washbasins. A shower/WC container combines showers and toilets in one unit and is suitable when both functions are needed at one location. You can find suitable combined and WC solutions in our used sanitary containers category.
