Buying used containers is an excellent way to save money and get your project underway faster. Here are a few reasons to think about them.
They're also less expensive
Many businesses and homeowners find the cost of a new container prohibitive. The purchase of used containers can be less expensive and provide the same quality. However, it could be much more expensive to construct what you need with mortar and bricks, or to have a brand new container bespokely built for you.
When selecting containers, you can choose from a wide range of models sizes, shapes and even condition. We have new containers for one-trips, as well as premium used containers in the UK. They range from 10ft up to 40 feet. Our new containers are equipped with CSC plates, which means they've been approved and inspected by shipping lines to transport cargo overseas. Our second-hand containers are plated with either an ISO or CSC certificate.
We also have used, cheap shipping containers that are ideal to hide away from sight, for use as garage or garden shed. These containers will show evidence of their time on the shipping lines, with lots of surface rust and knocks and scratches. These containers are ideal for customers with an unfavorable budget or don't care about the fact that their container isn't perfect. We can paint the container of your choice to enhance its appearance and also extend its lifespan.
They're ready for action
When you buy a second hand container, you'll be purchasing a used box that has spent years in the back of shipping lines and will be covered with plenty of surface rust and knocks and dents. However, it will be thoroughly inspected for structural integrity by the vendor and will be equipped with an authentic CSC plate. This is the plate that indicates the container has been approved for shipping cargo overseas.

They're up to the job
Shipping containers are massive steel boxes that you can see on a construction site, which are loaded into lorries and trains, or onto ships to be transported all over the world. They're designed to be watertight and windproof, protecting the cargo within from the elements as they traverse rough seas and rough weather. As a result, they're also extremely adaptable and flexible. They can be converted into cabins, homes or offices for a fraction of the cost of building a similar structure from scratch.
If you're considering buying containers, it is best to do some research to make sure you buy the right model. Examine the condition of the windows and doors to ensure that they are in good condition and are sealed properly. Additionally, inspect the container's body for holes or significant scratches. Also, make sure all the working mechanisms are intact including hinges on the doors, locks, gasket seals, roof and lower side wall.
The cost of containers can be extremely different, even within the UK. It's important to compare prices across different sellers and stay up-to date on market trends. You'll get the most value for your money when you compare offers from a variety of sellers.
The majority of people buy an old container as it's cheaper than building from scratch using mortar and bricks. This is a good idea because you'll have a foundation that is ready to start and can be altered within just a few weeks.
A container can be utilized on construction sites to provide temporary storage area for tools and equipment, or even as an office. The space can be easily repurposed after the project is complete This is a great option for contractors who are often working to tight deadlines.
A used container is a great solution for storing livestock and farm machinery. It's not just an insulated, dry and secure space for equipment and livestock, but it also can be fitted out with a cosy home environment that is perfect for animals that require an extra level of comfort.
They're a smart investment
In certain situations, it is more sense to purchase an old container rather than buying a brand new one. You might not be worried about the look of the container or your budget might not allow you to purchase an entirely new one. Buying a used container is a great way to save money, and can be used for many different projects and purposes.
A second-hand container is just as durable as a new container, and can last for as long. Steel is the material used to construct these containers, and a good container can last up to twenty years. It is important to keep in mind that purchasing an old shipping container is both green and economically sound. Reusing a container is an eco-friendly solution since the manufacturing process of a container consumes a lot of energy and raw materials.
For a business, a storage container is a great method to keep the essential inventory, documents and equipment safe. It is ideal for storage of items that are not used regularly and is easily adaptable with doors or shelves to meet your requirements. They're also an affordable alternative to bricks-and-mortar buildings and provide a more mobile solution.
