Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
The shipping container business that is used and new is growing because of their durability and flexibility. There are thousands of containers on the market.
Buying used containers is a great method of saving money and get your project off to a faster start. Here are some reasons why you should look into using them.
It's cheaper
Many homeowners and businesses find the cost of an entirely new container too expensive. Containers that are used are less expensive however they still provide the same quality. Alternatively, it can be much more expensive to construct what you need with mortar and bricks or to have a new container built specifically for you.
When selecting containers, you can choose from a variety of styles sizes, dimensions and even condition. We have both new containers for one-trips, as well as premium used containers in the UK. They range from 10ft all the way to 40 feet. Our containers are CSC Plated, which means that they've been inspected by shipping lines and certified as safe to transport cargo across the ocean. Our second-hand containers 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. The containers will show the marks of their previous use as shipping containers, such as scratches, rust and dent. These containers are great for clients who have a limited budget or don't care about the fact that their container isn't perfect. We can paint your container to dramatically improve its appearance and extend the life of your container too.
They're ready to go
You'll find a used container that has been on the backs of shipping lines for a long time. It will have surface scratch marks, rust, and dent. However, it will be thoroughly inspected for structural integrity by the seller and come fitted with a valid CSC plate. This plate indicates that the container has been authorised to carry cargo across the world.
You'll also save 90% by creating your own structure, and you won't have to wait months to get it. It is possible to use your container as it comes and most projects won't require permission for planning (although check this out first).

They're fit for purpose
Shipping containers are large steel boxes you see on construction sites, being loaded onto lorries, trains and ships for transport across the globe. They are designed to be wind- and water-tight to shield cargo from the elements while they travel through rough seas and extreme conditions. They're also extremely adaptable and flexible. In fact they can be transformed to offices, cabins or even homes at only a fraction of the cost you'd spend to build an equivalent from scratch.
If you're considering buying a container, you should do some research to be sure you get the right model. Check the condition of the windows and doors to make sure they are in good working order and sealed properly. Also, look over the body of the container to see whether there are any significant holes or dents. Also, ensure that all working mechanisms are intact including hinges on the doors, gasket seals, locks, roof and lower side wall.
The cost of containers can be extremely different even within the UK. It's important to compare prices from various sellers and stay up-to date on market trends. You'll get the best value for your money if you compare offers from multiple sellers.
A majority of people choose to purchase an old container instead of mortar and bricks because it is cheaper. This is a good option because you'll have a base that's ready to go and can be adapted within a few weeks.
A container can be used on construction sites as a temporary storage area for tools and equipment or even an office. The space can easily be repurposed after the project is completed, which is great for contractors working to tight deadlines.
On farms an old container can be an ideal storage solution for livestock and equipment. It's not only a safe dry and dry location to store equipment, but it can also serve as a home for animals who require a little more comfort.
They're an investment you can trust
In certain situations, it is more sense to purchase a second-hand container than buying a brand new one. Perhaps the appearance of the container isn't as important to you, or your budget simply won't allow for a brand new purchase. Whatever the reason, purchasing an old container can save you money and is a good alternative for a variety of projects.
A second-hand container is as durable as a new container, and can last as long. Steel is the main material used in these units and a well-constructed container can last for up to twenty years. It is important to remember that purchasing an old container is economically and environmentally sustainable. The production of a single container is a huge use of energy and raw materials, which is why reusing a container is such an environmentally-friendly option.
A storage container is a great way for a business to safeguard important documents, stock and machinery. It is ideal for storage of items that are not used regularly and can be easily adapted by adding shelves or doors to suit your needs. They're also a cost-effective alternative to bricks and mortar buildings and provide a more portable option.
Containers are used in many locations across the globe. From warehouses and factories, to private homes and gardens sheds. Their intermodal design means they're ideal for transporting across countries and continents regardless of whether they're in the back of trucks in Asia or loaded onto the cargo ship to cross the ocean.
