1. Define the use
Dry storage, chilled cargo, freezing or a temporary operational solution require different container specifications.
2. Check site conditions
Truck and crane access, foundation, electrical supply, ventilation and surrounding risks are part of the specification.
3. Purchase or rent
Rental often fits temporary or changing needs. Purchase may suit permanent use but requires a maintenance plan.
4. Check condition and records
Inspect structure, doors, seals, floor and frame; for reefers, also review the refrigeration unit and service history.
Recommendation: Professional specification before ordering can prevent unnecessary transport, power and modification costs.
