However, you will typically find the following proven dimensions:

| 10-foot | Compact and flexible for limited footprint | 2,990 mm x 2,435 mm x 2,890 mm |
| 20-foot standard | The classic office | 6,055 mm x 2,435 mm x 2,890 mm |
| 20-foot premium width | More sense of space thanks to 3,000 mm width | 6,055 mm x 3,000 mm x 2,890 mm |

Technical Equipment and Benefits
Our used office containers come from different years of manufacture and series – the equipment therefore varies depending on the offer. Please always refer to the description of the respective individual container for the exact configuration. Topics such as electrics, lighting, heating, room climate, floor load capacity, windows, doors, security, structural stability, space requirements, soundproofing & other topics can be discussed in a personal conversation with our specialist advisors. Practical solutions such as a used office container with WC can also be found with us.
Inspected Safety and Services
We thoroughly inspect every container for its solid basic substance before sale. Particularly important for your operations is our standard professional electrical and plumbing inspection: it ensures that the containers are ready for immediate use. In addition, we offer you the option of basic cleaning or individual refurbishment of the modules – you will find the respective options directly in the specific offer.
Furthermore, we not only deliver the containers you need, but also handle professional installation on request. Get personalised advice.

Why Buying Used Is Worth It
Rent or buy used? Owning your own container stock pays off particularly with long-term standing times (e.g. as a permanent office extension) or if you regularly need containers at changing locations. The decisive advantage: you make a one-off investment, remain independent of monthly rental rates, and the container becomes part of your business assets immediately.
Buying used from ELA also scores points through:
- Cost efficiency: Used modules are significantly cheaper than new builds while being fully functional.
- Sustainability: By continuing to use existing resources, you make an active contribution to the circular economy.
- Fast availability: Unlike new orders, our used office containers are available in stock.
