Containers in Duisburg: what matters on site
Duisburg, home to the Port of Duisburg, the largest inland port in Europe, is a hub for logistics, steel and industry. In the Ruhr area, businesses, ports and residential areas lie close together: container storage, material containers and fit-outs are commonplace here, yet space on company premises is often limited and access roads are narrow.
For deliveries to port and industrial areas, the operator's access rules may apply, such as registration, time slots or safety briefings. We agree the time, offloading location and offloading method with you in advance so the truck does not have to wait at the gate. For ground with low load-bearing capacity, such as filled-in areas, we plan for support pads under the corner castings.
Typical project in Duisburg
A business in the port area needs additional storage space for spare parts and packaging at short notice. A used 20 ft container in "Wind and Watertight" condition is sufficient for this. It stands on compacted gravel; we clarify access and time slot at the factory gate in advance, deliver with a loader crane and place it precisely. In the quote we state the container price and the transport price separately, so the calculation is fixed from the start.

Frequently asked questions
Can a container be delivered to a port or industrial site?
Yes. We coordinate registration, time slot and offloading location with you and the site operator. Please tell us the access rules when you send your enquiry.
What applies to permits in North Rhine-Westphalia?
The decisive factors are the building code for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (Bauordnung für das Land Nordrhein-Westfalen) and the local building authority. For storage-only use, a container is often exempt from the permit procedure; for office use or occupancy, it usually is not.
Can I rent a container instead of buying?
