Special Use Shipping Containers: What’s New, Old, and Always Relevant
At ATS Containers, our team has worked for several years to evolve our offering to meet the changing needs of the shipping container market in Canada. Although ISO containers are governed by strict international standards, there is a growing diversity of specialized shipping containers for sale adapted for specific uses: storage, specialized transport, modular projects, temperature control, and more.
Specialized Shipping Containers for Sale: What’s New, Old, and Always Relevant
We offer the most common standard formats:
- 20-foot containers
- 40-foot containers
However, we have also developed an extensive range of mini shipping containers:
- 8-foot, 9-foot, and 10-foot units
- 10-foot High Cube units for extra usable height
These compact models are perfect for urban construction sites, restricted spaces, or sites where every square meter counts. For clients without space constraints, we also offer containers up to 40 feet, perfect for maximizing loading or storage volume.
Refrigerated and Insulated Containers: For the Cold Chain
We offer two types of units for refrigerated or isothermal storage:
- New Refrigerated (Reefer) Containers with Thermo King Magnum Plus units
- Adjustable temperature from -40°C to +30°C.
- Features: Digital compressor, aluminum floor, sliding thermal curtain, interior lighting, and safety alarm.
- Insulated Containers (Decommissioned Reefers)
- Insulating walls without an active unit, perfect for maintaining a more stable temperature than a standard container.
These units are ideal for the transport or storage of food items, pharmaceuticals, or any other temperature-sensitive content.
Open-Side Containers: Maximum Accessibility
We offer models with side doors (full opening on one side), available in 20’ and 40’ formats, with standard or High Cube options. These units are particularly valued for:
- Loading voluminous equipment
- Using a forklift to facilitate handling
- Storing chemicals or dangerous goods
They combine traditional rear doors with a longitudinal opening, providing exceptional access.
Dangerous Goods Containers: Reinforced Safety
Our dangerous goods containers are designed for the secure transport and storage of hazardous products.
Characteristics:
- 10-foot High Cube and 20-foot High Cube formats
- Integrated spill basin and galvanized steel grates
- Drain valves, louvered vents, and full side-opening doors
These units comply with industrial and environmental safety standards and are used in sectors such as construction, chemicals, or municipal services.
Custom Containers: An Offering that Evolves with Your Needs
Our team regularly adapts our inventory based on field demand. We manufacture personalized containers for various purposes: temporary offices, kiosks, exhibition modules, and more.
