About us
A Durban container supplier that treats a container like infrastructure.
CONTAINER DISTRIBUTION supplies, converts and delivers shipping containers and off-grid equipment across South Africa. Our catalogue runs to 94 products in 8 categories — from bare 10ft units to fully fitted container offices, reefers, water storage and solar power systems.
What we do
We buy container stock in volume, inspect and refurbish it, and sell it at a listed price so buyers can budget without waiting on a quote. Where a standard box will not do the job, our workshop converts it — doors, windows, insulation, electrics, partitioning, ablutions and paint to your corporate colours.
Alongside containers we supply the equipment that usually goes with them on site: water storage tanks from IBC through to 10 000L verticals, and solar kits with panels, inverters and lithium batteries for sites without grid power.
Who we supply
Building contractors needing secure site offices and stores. Farms needing water storage and cold rooms. Schools and clinics needing classrooms and consulting rooms. Retailers and franchisees needing pop-up units. Logistics operators needing extra depot capacity.
Stock-backed supply
Containers sourced from Durban harbour depots and refurbished in-house before dispatch.
Straight pricing
Every product carries a listed price. Delivery and conversions are quoted line by line.
Built for business
Contractors, farms, schools, mines, retail and logistics operators buy from us monthly.
Durban based
Head office in the Durban CBD, minutes from the port and the N2/N3 corridor.

Reviews from our customers
Ordered a 6m general purpose container and it was delivered to our yard within two days. Clean unit, doors sealed properly, exactly as quoted.

The team converted a 12m container into a site office for us. Good workmanship on the windows and electrics, and they kept us updated throughout.

Pricing was competitive against three other suppliers and the quote held with no hidden transport costs added later.

Bought two refrigerated units for a cold chain project. Both arrived running to spec and the handover paperwork was in order.
Nadia Petersen

Straightforward quoting process and the driver placed the container exactly where we needed it on site, first attempt.
Thabo Molefe
Polokwane, Limpopo
Used them for a container ablution block. Plumbing was properly finished and it passed our contractor's inspection first time.
Zanele Dube
Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal
Solid used container at a fair price. Honest description of the condition and it is completely watertight after heavy rain.
Johan Steyn
Middelburg, Mpumalanga
Needed a container store for a farm outside town. They handled the long haul delivery and offloading without any issues.

Responsive on WhatsApp and email, quote came through the same day, and the invoice matched the quote to the cent.

Second container we've bought from them for our logistics yard. Repeat business speaks for itself — will use again.
