Overview
ISO dry containers for Dubai cargo and site work
TAT Containers supplies shipping containers for sale in Dubai and across the UAE. Buyers typically need a 20ft for tight compounds, a 40ft for bulk storage, or a high cube when extra headroom matters. We start from size, condition, quantity, and where the unit must land.
Dry steel boxes support freight through Jebel Ali corridors, locked storage in Al Quoz or Ras Al Khor yards, and overflow capacity in Dubai South and DIP industrial zones. Tell us the job and we match condition and delivery to that brief.

Condition
New vs used condition
Choose condition for how long you need the unit, how it should look, and what you want to spend. Both paths work for cargo, storage, or site use when condition matches the job.
New / one-trip
Near-new steel for buyers who want a cleaner exterior and longer remaining life. A strong fit for longer-term storage and sites where presentation matters.
Used / cargo-worthy
A budget path for construction compounds, industrial yards, and secure storage when doors, floor, and sealing are confirmed for the intended use.

Condition and Quality
Condition matched to how you will use it
Cosmetic wear on a used unit is not the same as structural fitness for cargo or long-term storage. Share the job (wind-and-water tight storage, freight criteria, or a conversion shell) and we align the condition choice.
- Doors, flooring, and sealing checked against your intended use
- Clear new vs used advice before you commit
- Unit details confirmed when we prepare your quote
Guidance
What to tell us about condition
Say whether you need wind-and-water tight storage performance, cargo-oriented criteria, or a shell for conversion.
Cosmetic wear on used units is different from structural requirements. Share the intended use so we can point you to suitable units.
