Some gyms have limited space and need a utility/storage room. If you have space around your gym, consider buying a used shipping container to put it there.
According to the newness and oldness of the container, its price is also different. We recommend buying a shipping container that is 70% to 80% new rather than brand new because the price is too high (almost 2x).
Please note that
- the color and text on the outer surface of the container are random and out of our control.
- the dimension and size and volume maybe exist tiny differences since they are from different manufacturers and aging deformation
- prices on this page are workable in May 2023, but it changes each week, we will update it for you once get your request.
Sea Containers Specification
As you know, there are 3 types of common shipping containers:
- 20′ GP (20 feet long for General Purposes): internal dimension, 5.9 * 2.35 * 2.39m, the internal volume is 33 CBM Empty (tare) weight is 2200 KGS;
- 40′ GP (40 feet long for General Purposes): internal dimension, 12.03 * 2.35 * 2.39m, the internal volume is 67 CBM, Empty (tare) weight is 3800 KGS;
- 40′ HQ (40 feet long and High Cubic): internal dimension, 12.03 * 2.35 * 2.69m, the internal volume is 76CBM, Empty (tare) weight is 3930 KGS;
How do we define the degree of depreciation/rate of newness?
- 50% rate of newness: The appearance is seriously damaged, affecting normal use, and the maintenance cost is high.
- 60% rate of newness: The appearance is damaged, there are some minor problems, and it needs to be repaired before it can be used normally.
- 70% rate of newness: The appearance is damaged (such as peeling paint, small slight deformation), the function is intact, and it can be used normally without repair,
- 80% rate of newness: The appearance is slightly damaged (such as peeling paint), the function is intact, and it can be used normally without repair,
- 90% rate of newness: Good appearance, good function, no more than 3 months of use.
Is it a good deal?
Let us consider the following points
- How much it will cost to build a house in your location? In China usually much more than 150 USD/sqm before decoration. Let’s take 40′ HQ as a sample, the internal floor area is 12.03*2.35=28.2705 sqm, which means more than?150*28=4200?USD.
- As long as the paint is painted properly, it will last for years. If one day you don’t need it anymore, you can sell it to others.
- If you want a window, you’ll have to cut the hole yourself
