Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
The new and used shipping container industry is booming thanks to their durability and adaptability. There are a myriad of containers on the market.
The purchase of used containers is an excellent option to save money and get your project underway faster. Here are just some reasons why you should look into them.
It's less expensive
The cost of a brand-new container can be expensive for many homeowners and businesses. The cost of used containers is lower and still offer the same quality. However, it could be far more costly to construct the container you require using mortar and bricks or to have a new container built specifically for you.
When you are choosing a container, you can pick from a range of types, sizes and even condition. We have both new containers for one-trips as well as premium used containers in the UK. They vary from 10ft to 40ft. Our new containers come with CSC plates that means they've been approved and inspected by shipping lines for transporting cargo internationally. Our second-hand containers are plated with either an ISO or CSC certificate.
We also have cheap used shipping containers that are ideal for tucking away out of sight, to be used as a garden shed or garage. They will bear evidence of their previous life on shipping lines, with plenty of surface rust and bumps and scratches. These containers are perfect for those with little money 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 life.
They're ready to go
If you buy a second hand container, you'll be getting a pre-owned box that has spent years in the back of shipping lines and will be covered with lots of surface rust and scratches and dents. The seller will have inspected the structural integrity of the container and fitted it with an official CSC Plate. This is the plate that signifies that the container is approved for shipping cargo overseas.
Additionally you'll save 90% on the cost of building your own structure, and you won't have to wait for months to be delivered. You can use your container in its current condition and the majority of projects don't require planning permission.

They're suited for the job.
Shipping containers are large steel boxes you see on construction sites, being loaded into lorries ships and trains for transport across the globe. They're designed to be wind- and water-tight, protecting cargo from the elements while they travel through rough seas and extreme conditions. This means they're extremely adaptable and flexible in use. They can be converted into cabins, homes or offices for a fraction of the cost of building a similar structure from scratch.
If you are considering purchasing a container, you should conduct some research to make sure you buy the right model. Verify the condition of the windows and doors to ensure they're in good condition and are sealed properly. Also, check the body of the container to determine if there are any major dents or holes. Verify that all functioning mechanisms are in good working order. This includes the roof, lower side wall, door hinges and locks, as well as the gasket seals.
Prices for containers can be wildly different, even within the UK. In this context, it's wise to always compare offers from multiple sellers and keep abreast of current market trends. You'll get the best value for your money if you compare offers from several sellers.
A majority of customers purchase a second-hand container because it's cheaper than building from the ground up with bricks and mortar. This is especially true because you'll have a ready base that can be used right away and modified in just a few weeks.
On construction sites, containers can be used as a temporary storage option for equipment and tools, a breakroom or an onsite office. It's simple to repurpose the space when projects are finished too which is a major advantage for contractors who frequently have to work on deadlines that are tight.
A used container can be a great solution for storing animals and farm machinery. It's not just a safe, dry place to store equipment, but it can also serve as a home for animals who require a bit of extra comfort.
They're a smart investment
In some instances, it makes more sense to purchase a second-hand container than buying a brand new one. You may not be concerned about the look of the container or your budget may not allow you to purchase an entirely new one. A used container is a great option to save money and can be used for a variety of different projects and purposes.
A second-hand unit is just as durable as a new container, and can last for as long. Steel is the material used to construct these units and a quality container can last up to twenty years. It is also important to remember that buying an old shipping container is both environmentally friendly and economically sound. The manufacturing of a single container requires a lot of energy and raw materials, which is why reusing a container is such an environmentally sustainable option.
A storage container is a great option to keep important items, documents, and machinery safe. It's perfect for storing things that aren't in constant use and can be adapted to suit your specific requirements with the addition of shelving or doors. These buildings are also a cheaper alternative to brick-and-mortar structures, and offer a more mobile solution.
Containers are used in a variety of locations around the globe. From factories and warehouses to private homes and gardens sheds. They are designed to be intermodal, so they can be transported across continents and countries.
