Testimonials

Maurice O'Donovan
Maurice O'DonovanSite Agent
"Thank you for the great service installing and fitting out our new contractor’s offices on our Astellas Project in Tralee. As usual your fitout team were very professional and nothing that I asked for was a problem to them. It’s a testament to your company that this is now the third project that I have used these units on having previously hired them from you for Bio Cork 2 in 2018 and then for our Pfizer RCMF project in 2021 and now our new project in Tralee. The service you provide and the quick response to any problems is what sets you ahead of your rivals and I look forward to working with you into the future."

""Last Year Recordati were looking to put in place a large canteen/kitchen as a modular unit. We spoke to several providers and settled on Masterkabin as they very quickly provided us with transparent pricing and a clear plan from start to finish. The communication during all aspects of the project was excellent; the plan was executed as requested ,on time and on budget and all of us here are delighted with the result. In short, Masterkabin were a pleasure to deal with.""

"To date, we purchased 3 No containers from Karolina. In all cases the service was first class and most courteous. We were particularly impressed with the delivery. I needed to have my containers positioned into very difficult positions, but it proved absolutely no problem for the team - I was really impressed. I would deal with Karolina again, as she made the whole process very easy. Well done."

"I have been involved with Masterkabin on a number of school projects where there has been a need for additional classroom accommodation within a very short period of time.....On all the projects i have been involved in, I have found the construction and assembly process to be very well organised, particularly on the day of the off-loading and assembly of a modular building - it's almost a military-like operation.....While the whole process is quite fast, health and safety is not compromised in any way.....I have been known to contact Anthony with a last minute change.....Anthony has been able to facilitate what sometimes could be considered as a bit of an ask, so the tag line 'we can accommodate you' is certainly appropriate."
David Griffith
David GriffithCastle Bernard, Co. Cork
"This is but brief thanks: thanks for providing such ready help and with such genial civility in these testing days of general difficulty.....As time dragged on in the unhappy obstacle course that was the initial delivery ordeal, an element of doubt crept into my mind and at the very least I expected to find your men grumpy or resentful; but not a bit of it, for they were still full of disciplined sparkle at the end of proceedings, and performed an aerial ballet, first with the 'unit' and then, encore, with the trailer of the truck."

"Knowledgeable and efficient. Great communication and service for the supply of a new single use container. The delivery and levelling was particularly impressive and attentive to detail. Highly recommended."

"Right from our first meeting to discuss our unique requirements and the challenges of the site I have felt like a valued customer, and value is what we received. This quality was consistent in all communications with the office staff and the attitude of the installation team and drivers."

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Masterkabin supplies new and used shipping containers for sale across Ireland in 20ft and 40ft sizes. All containers are wind and watertight and available in grey, green, or blue.

Contact Masterkabin at (021) 477 5555 or enquire online for current stock and pricing.

A one-trip shipping container is a new container that has made just a single journey from the manufacturer before being sold. These containers are in excellent condition with minimal wear, making them ideal for secure storage, business use, and long-term durability.

The cost of a 20ft shipping container in Ireland depends on whether you are looking to purchase or hire, along with the condition of the container (new/1-trip or used). Used containers are typically the more cost-effective option when purchasing.

For container hire, pricing will vary depending on the rental duration, delivery location, and container specification. Modifications for hire units can also be included, such as electrics and shelving, depending on requirements.

Masterkabin offers competitive pricing for both container sales and hire throughout Ireland. Contact Masterkabin on (021) 477 5555 for a no-obligation quotation based on your requirements.

Yes. Masterkabin offers flexible container hire across Ireland for both 20ft and 40ft shipping containers. Container hire is ideal for short or medium-term storage needs on construction sites, events, or business premises. All hire containers are wind and watertight and delivered to your site. Call (021) 477 5555 for current hire availability and pricing.

A 20ft shipping container is approximately 6m long with around 14 square metres of floor space, making it ideal for single-site storage or a workshop.

A 40ft shipping container is approximately 12m long with around 28 square metres of floor space, suited to larger storage requirements. Both are available from Masterkabin for sale or hire.

Yes. Every MK Container from Masterkabin is confirmed wind and watertight before delivery. Both new and used containers are inspected to ensure they meet the required standard. Anti-burglary steel doors with multi-point locking are fitted as standard on all units.

Masterkabin operates a large fleet of transport vehicles in our Cork and Dublin depots and can typically deliver shipping containers to sites across Ireland within a few working days. Once your requirements are confirmed and a quote accepted, our team will organise delivery without delay. Call (021) 477 5555 for current availability.

A one-trip container has only made a single journey from the manufacturer and is considered almost new, while a used container has been in circulation for several years and may show signs of wear such as dents, rust, or repairs. Both are secure and durable, but one-trip containers offer the best cosmetic condition.
