Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
The newest and used shipping container industry is booming because of their durability and flexibility. You'll find a variety of containers on the market and available across the globe.
Buying second hand containers is an excellent way to save money and get your project off the ground more quickly. Here are some reasons to think about them.
It's also less expensive
The cost of purchasing a brand new container can be prohibitive for many homeowners and businesses. Purchasing used containers can be cheaper and offer the same level of quality. It can be more expensive to construct the container you need or have it constructed specifically for you.
When selecting containers, you can choose from a range of types sizes, shapes and even condition. We have both new containers for one-trips as well as high quality used containers in the UK. They range from 10ft up to 40ft. Our containers are CSC plated, meaning they've been inspected by shipping lines and certified as being safe to carry cargo overseas. Similar to our second-hand containers, our used ones will have either an CSC plate or an ISO certificate.
We also have used and cheap shipping containers that are ideal to hide away from sight, to be used as garage or garden shed. They will bear evidence of their past life in shipping lines with plenty of surface rust and bumps and dents. They are also great for customers with a low budget or who don't mind that their container might have an unattractive aesthetic. We can repaint the container of your choice to improve its appearance, and also extend its life.
They're ready for action
You'll get a used container that has been on the back of shipping lines for many years. It'll be covered in scratches, rust and knocks. The seller will have inspected the structural integrity of the container and then fitted it with a valid CSC Plate. This plate shows that the container has been approved to transport cargo internationally.
You'll also save 90 percent by creating your own structure, and you won't need to wait for months to obtain it. It's possible to use your container as it is and many projects don't require planning permission (although be sure to check this first).

They're ready for the task
Shipping containers are large steel boxes you see on construction sites being loaded into lorries trains and ships for transport across the globe. They are designed to be wind- and water-tight to shield cargo from the elements as they traverse rough seas or difficult conditions. They're also highly adaptable and flexible in use. In fact they can be transformed into cabins, offices or even homes for less than the cost you'd pay to build the same thing from scratch.
If you're considering purchasing containers, it's crucial to conduct your research to make sure you get the right container to meet your requirements. Examine the condition of the doors and windows to ensure they're in good working order and are sealed properly. Also, look over the container body to see whether there are any significant holes or dents. Also, ensure that all the working mechanisms are in good working order - this includes the hinges on the doors, locks, gasket seals, roof and lower wall.
Container prices can vary dramatically even within the UK. In this regard it's important to compare offers from multiple sellers and stay up-to-date with current market trends. You'll get the best price for your money if you compare offers from several sellers.
A majority of people choose to purchase a used container over bricks and mortar because it's cheaper. This is a great option, as you will have a base that's ready to go and can be modified within a few weeks.
On construction sites, a container can be used as a temporary storage space for equipment and tools as well as a breakroom or onsite office. The space can easily be repurposed when the project is finished which is ideal for contractors who are working to tight deadlines.
A used container can be an ideal storage solution for livestock and farm machinery. It's not just a secure, dry place for equipment and livestock, but it also can be outfitted with a cozy home environment that is perfect for animals in need of a little extra comfort.
They're an investment you can trust
In certain circumstances, it may make more sense to purchase an used container rather than an entirely new one. Maybe the design of the container isn't as important to you, or your budget isn't enough for a brand new purchase. A used container is an excellent option to save money and can be used for many different projects and purposes.
While it's true that a brand-new container will appear superior to one used (especially because they're typically sold in one solid colour and are without shipping corporate logos), a second hand container is perfect for a variety of uses and is guaranteed to last for the same as a brand-new one. Steel is the material used to construct these containers and a well-constructed container can last for as long as twenty years. It is important to remember that buying a used 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 recycling a container is an environmentally responsible solution.
For a business, a storage container is a great method to keep the essential stock, documents and machinery safe. It's perfect for storing things that aren't frequently used and can be customized to your particular needs with the addition of doors or shelves. They're also an affordable alternative to bricks-and-mortar buildings and provide a more portable option.
Shipping containers are found all over the world from factories and warehouses to private houses and garden sheds. Their intermodal design means they're perfect for transporting across continents and countries regardless of whether they're on the back of trucks in Asia or loaded onto a cargo ship to cross the ocean.
