Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
The new and used shipping container industry is booming due to their durability and adaptability. There are a lot of containers available on the market.
The purchase of second-hand containers is a great way to save money and get your project off the ground quicker. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider using them.
They're less expensive
The cost of a brand-new container can be prohibitive for many businesses and homeowners. The cost of used containers is lower, but still provide the same quality. It is also far more costly to construct the container you require using mortar and bricks or to get a new container bespokely built for you.
You can pick from a variety of types, sizes and conditions when choosing containers. We have new containers for one-trips and premium used containers in the UK. They range from 10ft all the way to 40ft. Our new containers are CSC plated, meaning they've been examined by shipping lines and certified as being safe to carry cargo overseas. Similar to our second-hand containers, our used ones will come with either an ISO certificate or a CSC plate or an ISO certificate.
We also have a used shipping container that can be used as an extra garage or garden shed. These will have significant evidence of their previous life on the shipping lines, with lots of surface rust and knocks and scratches. These containers are perfect for customers with a limited budget or don't care about the fact that their container isn't perfect. We can repaint the chosen container to drastically enhance its appearance and prolong its lifespan too.
They're ready to go
If you purchase an old container you'll be purchasing a used container that has been sat for years in the back of shipping lines and will have lots of surface rust and knocks and dents. The seller will have inspected the structural integrity of the container and fitted it with an authentic CSC Plate. This plate signifies that the container has been approved to carry cargo across the world.
Additionally you'll save up to 90% on the cost of building your own structure and won't need to wait for months to be delivered. It is possible to make use of your container as it comes and most projects won't require planning permission (although be sure to check this first).

They're ready for the job
Shipping containers are the large steel boxes that you see on construction sites being loaded onto lorries, ships, and trains for transportation across the globe. They're designed to be water and wind-proof, protecting the cargo within from the elements as they travel through rough seas and harsh weather. This means they're also highly adaptable and flexible in use. In fact, they can be adapted into cabins, offices or even homes for a fraction of the price you'd have to pay to construct the same thing from scratch.
If you're thinking of buying a container, you should do some research to make sure you purchase the correct model. Verify the condition of the doors and windows to ensure they're in good condition and sealed properly. Also, check the container's body for holes or major scratches. Also, ensure that all the working mechanisms are working properly This includes hinges on the doors and gasket seals, locks, roof and lower side wall.
Container prices vary wildly across locations in the UK. In this regard, it's wise to always examine offers from a variety of sellers and stay up-to-date with current market trends. You'll get the best value for your money when you compare offers from several sellers.
A majority of customers purchase an old container as it's cheaper than building from scratch using mortar and bricks. This is a great option because you'll 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 even as an office. The space can be easily repurposed after the project is complete which is ideal for contractors working under tight deadlines.
A used container is a great solution for storing animals and farm machinery. It's not just a secure, dry place for machinery and livestock, but it can also be equipped with a cosy home environment that is perfect for animals that require some extra comfort.
They're an investment that's smart
In certain situations, it is more sense to buy an used container instead of an entirely new one. You may not be concerned about the appearance of the container or your budget might not allow for a brand new one. A used container is a great option to save money and can be used for a variety of different purposes and projects.
While there's no doubt that a brand new container will appear better than one that has been used (especially as they're usually sold in a single colour and without shipping corporate logos) However, a second-hand unit is perfectly suitable for most purposes and will last for as long as a new one. Steel is used to make these containers and a well-constructed container can last up to twenty years. It is also essential to remember that buying an old shipping container is both green and economically sound. Reusing containers can be an environmentally friendly solution because the manufacturing of a single container consumes an enormous amount of energy and raw material.
A storage container is an excellent way for a business to secure important documents, stock and equipment. It is perfect for storing things that aren't used frequently and can be easily adapted with doors or shelves to suit your needs. These structures are also a cheaper alternative to brick and mortar structures, and offer a more flexible solution.
Containers are used in many locations around the globe. From warehouses and factories as well as private gardens and homes. They are designed to be intermodal, so they can be used to transport goods across continents and countries.
