Similar to our second-hand containers, our used ones will come with either a CSC plate or an ISO certificate.
We also offer cheap used shipping containers that can be used as an outdoor shed or garage. These containers will show evidence of their past life on the shipping lines, with plenty of surface rust as well as knocks and scratches. These containers are perfect for those with a limited budget or don't care if their container isn't perfect. We can paint the container you want to enhance its appearance and also extend its life.

They're suited for the job.
Shipping containers are massive steel boxes you see on construction sites, and are loaded onto lorries and trains, or onto ships for transport all over the world. They are designed to be water- and wind-tight and protect cargo from the elements while they traverse rough seas and harsh conditions. They are also highly adaptable, flexible and versatile in their use. In fact, they can be adapted into offices, cabins or even homes for a fraction of the price you'd spend to build similar structures from scratch.
If you're considering purchasing a container, it's important to do your research so that you select the best model to meet your needs. Examine the condition of the doors and windows to ensure they're in good working order and are sealed properly. Also, check the container body to see whether there are any significant dents or holes. Also, make sure all working mechanisms are intact This includes hinges on the doors, locks, gasket seals, the roof and lower side wall.
Prices for containers can be wildly different, even within the UK. It is important to compare prices across different sellers and stay up-to date on the latest market trends. This means you'll be able to get the most value for your money.
A majority of customers purchase an old container as it's cheaper than building from scratch using bricks and mortar. This is a good option, as you will have a foundation that is ready to go and can be modified within some weeks.
A container can be utilized on construction sites to provide temporary storage space for equipment and tools or as an office. The space can be reused after the project is completed This is a great option for contractors who are often working under tight deadlines.
On a farm, a used container could be a great storage solution for livestock and machinery. It's not just an unsecure, dry space for machinery and livestock, but it also can be fitted out with a cosy home environment that is perfect for animals who require some extra comfort.
They're a savvy investment
In certain situations, it is more sense to buy a second-hand container than an entirely new one. You may not be concerned about the design of the container, or your budget may not permit you to purchase an entirely new one. Whatever the case, buying a used container can save you money and is a great alternative for a variety of projects.
A second-hand container is as durable as a new container, and can last as long. Steel is used to make these containers and a well-constructed container can last for up to twenty years. It is also essential to remember that buying a used shipping container is both eco-friendly and economically prudent. The production of a single container requires large amounts of energy and raw materials, which is the reason recycling a container is an environmentally responsible solution.
A storage container is an excellent way for businesses to safeguard important documents, stock and machinery. It's ideal for storage of items that aren't frequently used and can be modified to meet your specific requirements by adding shelving or doors. They're also an affordable alternative to bricks-and-mortar structures, and offer a much more mobile solution.
Shipping containers are found all around the world from factories and warehouses to private gardens and homes. Their intermodal design makes them ideal for moving across continents and countries in any way, whether on the back of trucks in Asia or lifted onto the cargo ship to cross the ocean.
