10ft SHIPPING CONTAINERS
The 10ft shipping container comes in handy when space is at a premium, but you still require the strength and portability of a shipping container. This is the smallest container you can have and is exactly half the length of the 20ft unit.
The 10ft container is about half the size of a single car garage and this makes them ideal for small space storage applications, but they can also be modified to make countless shipping container products. This sized container is not very common in shipping, so second-hand 10ft containers are usually made by cutting a 40ft container into four equal parts and adding back walls and doors to the cutout pieces. One-piece retains the original back end of the larger container while another retains the original door of the container.
Tiger containers supply both new and used 10ft shipping containers. Our containers are of a high standard and are competitively priced.

WHEN SHOULD YOU BUY a 10FT SHIPPING CONTAINERS
You may have been thinking about buying a 10ft wide shipping container but are unsure of whether or not this size of the container is really the best choice for you. After all, isn’t bigger better? And what if you actually need more storage space than just this 10ft box?
If there is no immediate need for that much space, however, a 10ft container may just be the perfect fit for you. Here are some telling signs of when you should opt for this smaller-sized container:
SPACE IS AT A PREMIUM
MANOEUVRABILITY IS A MUST
YOU NEED A CUSTOM COMPACT SPACE
10ft containers are not commonly used in shipping, which is why many of them have only been used once or are custom-made from larger containers. This makes them a great choice if you’re in need of a custom compact space. They can easily be customised as a mobile workshop, small office, outdoor cafe, food or market stall, pop up store and just about any other compact and/or mobile space you can think of.
STORING DANGEROUS OR PERISHABLE GOODS
Probably the biggest advantage of a 10ft container is that it occupies the smallest space of all standard shipping containers and yet it is just as durable as the larger ones. Add to that the fact that it can be customised quite easily and these compact containers make for the ideal storage for time and temperature-sensitive products like food, medicine and other perishable items. They’re durable enough to hold such items, can be customised easily to provide the ideal storage environment for such items, and they won’t take up too much space wherever they’re placed.
