About our new containers

Our ‘One Trip’ shipping containers are brand new and built to ISO shipping standards in China before arriving in the UK after a single cargo trip. All new containers are fabricated from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, wind and watertight, include a factory fitted lock box, and can be used for domestic and commercial storage, as well as converted for a variety of different uses. New containers are available as standard in green (RAL6007) or blue (RAL5010 or RAL5013) but we can also respray containers in any RAL colour requested.

This space-saving solution is weatherproof, corrosion-resistant, and includes all kinds of security features that will keep your premises and storage safe from theft and vandalism.

You can choose a new ‘One Trip’ container built to ISO shipping standards, or a UK-manufactured used container which has been cut down from larger containers and adapted. Both are safe, secure, and sturdy solutions for short-term and long-term uses.

• Made from Corten Steel (COR-TEN)
• Floor crafted from Marine Grade Plywood (27mm thick)

• New containers are available in green (RAL6007) or blue (RAL5010 or RAL5013)
