BUYER QUESTIONS

Useful before you order.

Which container sizes are most common in South Africa?

20-foot and 40-foot units are the core freight and storage sizes. Compact 10-foot units are useful where space is limited. High-cube containers are common when extra internal height is needed.

Do prices include delivery?

No. Delivery depends on depot location, distance, truck or crane requirements and site access, so it should be quoted separately.

Are the catalogue photos exact stock?

No. They show typical configurations. Exact condition, colour, included equipment and availability must be confirmed in the written quotation.

Can you quote delivery outside South Africa?

Yes, international and cross-border enquiries are welcome. Feasibility and price depend on origin stock, road or sea route, ports, customs, local handling and the final destination.
