Supreme Trading GmbH - FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions

  • What types of containers does Supreme offer?

    At Supreme you will find all common container types such as standard shipping containers and high cubes, open tops, hard tops, flatracks, refrigerated containers, tank containers, side doors, double doors, insulated containers, sanitary containers, office containers and office container complexes.

  • What container sizes does Supreme offer?

    Supreme offers all common container sizes. Small containers are 6-foot, 8-foot, and 10-foot.


    Standard sizes are 20 feet, 40 feet, and 45 feet. Many sizes are also available in a high cube version with an extra 30 cm of height.


    20 feet = 6 m / 40 feet = 12 m

  • What container qualities does Supreme offer?

    Container qualities are differentiated into "One-Way", which is a new container used only once for transporting goods, and "Cargo Worthy", which stands for a usable used container.

  • What is a valid CSC plate?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that interested site visitors get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics, or bold, and add links. This plaque functions like a vehicle inspection sticker and, in the case of containers, confirms 100% operational readiness as well as wind and water resistance.


    Supreme never sells used containers without a valid CSC.

  • Can Supreme shorten a container to the desired length?

    Supreme will cut containers to the desired length at any time to suit every individual need.


    15-foot trailers are often requested, as no building permit is required in Germany for this loading volume.

  • Can I rent from Supreme?

    Short- and long-term rentals are of course possible throughout Germany. This allows us to meet temporary container needs at any time.



  • Does Supreme offer custom builds?

    We offer fully customized container solutions of all kinds.

    Statics and feasibility are always taken into account, and customers are fully involved in the planning process.

  • What temperatures do refrigerated containers reach?

    Refrigerated containers can be temperature-controlled between -25°C and 25°C

  • Does Supreme also buy back containers?

    Supreme offers every customer a solution if a purchased container is no longer needed. The buyback price depends on various factors, but is always in line with market rates.

  • Can I choose a container color?

    Supreme tries to fulfill every request. Used containers are never sorted by color, which makes it difficult to get a specific color.


    Supreme offers a wide selection of colors for new containers, from which customers can choose.

  • Does Supreme offer financing?

    We have a premium partnership with a financing company specializing in container projects, which can help with almost any project.

  • How long does delivery take at Supreme?

    Supreme typically delivers throughout Germany within 7-10 working days, often even faster.

  • What needs to be considered when setting up a container?

    The weight of containers always rests on the corner posts. Point foundations are recommended here, or, if the ground is already paved, standard paving slabs.


    It is important that the corner points are level, otherwise the container may warp.

  • Do I need a building permit to place a container?

    In principle, setting up a container on private property requires a building permit and must be checked with the relevant building authority.

  • Does Supreme also sell containers to private individuals?

    Of course, every customer is welcome at Supreme!
