Why Choose Our Container Rental in Shanghai?
Exclusive Repositioning Rates
We offer special tariffs for returning equipment. You pay a nominal fee for the rental (especially for 20DC), while we solve our logistical task of relocating the units. It is a win-win deal for both parties.
Empty Drop-off in 13+ Russian Cities
You do not need to return the container to China. After unloading, you drop off the empty container at our depot in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, or another destination city. No backhaul freight costs.
Quality Guarantee (NEW, IICL, CW)
Every container undergoes an airtightness and floor integrity check before handover. All units hold a valid international CSC certification, which is critical for shipping line acceptance.
Deep Knowledge of Shanghai Depot
We work with Yangshan and Waigaoqiao terminals daily, knowing all the nuances of local logistics, documentation (VGM, release order), and interacting with Chinese freight forwarders.
Who Benefits Most from Renting Containers from Shanghai to Russia?
Importers of industrial equipment and auto parts
The Yangtze River Delta is a global center for machinery manufacturing. For heavy cargo, we provide 20-foot containers with verified floor conditions, capable of withstanding high point loads during multimodal transportation.
Furniture and home goods suppliers
For bulky but light cargo, we provide 40HC units, allowing you to maximize volumetric loading at a fixed rental rate. The IICL condition eliminates the risk of leaks and cargo damage.
Logistics companies and freight forwarders
A shortage of empty containers during peak seasons is a frequent issue in Shanghai. By leasing equipment from us under the One-Way Lease program, you get a predictable budget and fixed timelines, independent of shipping line quotas and whims.

Why these prices? These are special repositioning (return) tariffs. It is critically important for operators to return empty containers from China to Russia. The price depends on the space occupied: a 20ft container takes up half the space (1 TEU) in a rail consist or on a vessel compared to a 40ft unit, so its rate is roughly 20–30% of the 40HC price. This makes 20DC an exceptionally cost-effective option for heavy cargo.
