About our used containers

Used shipping containers are the most popular container sold in the UK and made to full ISO standards. Our range of used containers have been decommissioned from their fleet before sale so you can expect some minor dents and signs of age including past repairs, but they are still guaranteed to be strong, secure, and wind and watertight unless otherwise stated.

Hire a reliable and secure space for your business

Thanks to its Corten steel construction and waterproof structure, your 40ft container can do and be anything. It’s also protected with high-security features and entirely adaptable to your needs.

Waterproof and weatherproof

Both new and used 40ft shipping containers are a safe and reliable storage solution that won’t let the elements in. With some adaptations you can even store chemicals and hazardous equipment, medical supplies, and catering supplies that have to remain hygienic and sterile.

Secure and theft-proof

Wherever you’re installing your container, vandalism and theft won’t be a problem. The steel doors are secured with a padlock with multiple keys for you and your staff, and we can add alarms, roller shutters for doors and windows, and weld shut any out of use doors.

Completely customisable and adaptable

We can also install electrics, heating, doors, windows, skylights, and much more. Your container can have Wi-Fi access, multiple plug sockets and ports, as well as insulation and condensation protection.

40 years in the container business
