Buy Used 10-Foot Containers
Here you will find used 10-foot containers from our rental fleet, which are technically inspected and available at short notice. The compact containers are available in various configurations, e.g. as office containers, WC containers or sanitary containers.
The 10-Foot Format at a Glance
The 10-foot format is the most compact standard size in mobile room container construction: around 7.3 m² of floor space, ideal where space is tight. As a small construction site office, a secure material room or a technical and equipment room, it also fits in narrow spaces. These are fitted-out ELA room containers, used as office or storage space depending on the type, not ISO shipping containers. Since the modules have already been in use, you pay significantly less than for new units, while enjoying full functionality.
You will typically find this size in our stock. The dimension stated is an outer dimension:
| Variant | Outer Dimensions (L × W × H) | Usable Area (approx.) |
| 10-foot standard | 2,990 mm × 2,435 mm × 2,890 mm | approx. 7.3 m² |
Note on availability: As these are used containers, the stock of individual configurations, such as office or storage variants in the 10-foot format, varies daily. Contact us for current stock levels.
Prices of Used 10-Foot Containers
The price of a used 10-foot container depends mainly on the type: a storage container without fittings costs less than an office container with insulation, electrics and windows. In addition, the year of manufacture, duration of use in the rental fleet and specific equipment also play a role. As our stock changes continuously, the following range is a guide value; the specific individual offer is always binding. The current price range for used 10-foot containers is between €2,900 and €3,500.
Note on prices: All prices are exclusive of VAT and plus delivery costs, subject to change and only while stocks last.

Which Types Are Available in the 10-Foot Format?
The 10-foot container is a format, not a fixed configuration. In this compact size, these two configurations are particularly in demand:
- Office container: Insulated, with window and electrics, as a small construction site or foreman's office.
- Storage container: Robust steel space for tools, materials and equipment, dry and protected from theft.
Our specialist advisors are happy to match the configurations currently available in the 10-foot format with the stock.
