Also secured the contract to store, refurbish / repair and convert containers for JHB based company Container Sales and Hire.
Eventually building approximately one hundred and fifty 3m containers for Container Sales and Hire.
By 1999, we invested in our own crane truck to transport and place 6m containers.
During this period, we purchased second hand containers to the value of R500k. Turns out this stock was stolen property. As a Company, it was one of the most challenging times. To date, there are many unscrupulous suppliers in the market, so if you cannot view and choose your containers, DO NOT Deposit monies.
The turn of the century brought about a shortage of second hand containers, especially 6ms. We decided to convert 12m into 6m.
