Ex-yard means the container as it leaves our yard. VAT (5%) and delivery are added on top.
Quoted on request
New 40ft Standard, refrigerated, modified, open top and flat rack containers are priced per unit. Send us the size, condition and location and we'll reply the same working day.
What changes the price
- Size and type. A 40ft costs more than a 20ft, and special types are quoted individually.
- Condition. A new one-trip 20ft is AED 8,500 against AED 4,000 used, a little over twice the price. See new vs used containers.
- Delivery. It is quoted separately once we know your site location.
- Modifications. Doors, windows and insulation are priced on request.
Example: two used 20ft containers
2 × AED 4,000 = AED 8,000, plus 5% VAT (AED 400) makes AED 8,400 ex-yard. Delivery is added once we know your site. The price calculator on the homepage does this sum for used and new units.
