Second Hand Containers For Sale UK

Containers are often a good investment both in terms of environmental and financial. It's typically cheaper than building a new one, and it is possible to move from lorry-to-work area in a matter of days.

We offer both new and used shipping containers. Our used containers are generally 9-14 years old and have a few scratches, scuffs and scratches but in good shape.

Storage

Storage units are a great solution for those looking to reduce space or protect expensive items from the elements. It is often a matter of purchasing a brand new container or a second hand one. Many new containers come flat-packed which can cut down on the time to delivery and assembly. In this configuration they're still durable and secure. They are also man-portable. These cubes are also available in standard heights of 20ft or 40ft and can be used in conjunction to create larger storage areas.

Many people believe that second-hand modal containers have been damaged beyond repair. This is not true. The majority of our used storage containers have a long time of service remaining and are in good structural condition. They do not have any major holes or rust damage.

Containers Direct works with a network of containers that are of high quality in the UK. They can offer an array of sizes of containers and lengths, including custom lengths. The containers are inspected prior to leaving their depots to ensure they're watertight and there aren't any major holes or dents, and that the doors are working. 30ft Shipping Containers are of high quality and are a good choice for both businesses and homeowners.

Shipping containers are strong and durable products that can be reused several times over their lifespan. They can be used as storage units but more and more people choose to customise the containers after purchase to maximize their capabilities. Some of the most well-known uses include a shed for the garden, a home gym or a workshop to store equipment and tools.

Shipping containers are typically recycled at the end of their operational lives, but it's more environmentally friendly to repurpose them for other uses and keep these valuable pieces of steel in circulation for as long as possible. This can help reduce embodied carbon emissions and minimize the need for further environmental damage via recycling or melting down.

Cafes

Cafes are an eatery that serves food and beverages. They are well-known for their cozy, casual environments and the flexibility of their operating hours. Contrary to restaurants, which usually serve formal meals cafes typically offer informal menu items, such as sandwiches and light meals. They also may have exhibitions of art and other cultural events that encourage the community's involvement. The term is different from the uninspiring "Coffee Shop" that has a more enduring meaning both in Australia and in the UK.

Offices

When you purchase a container (unlike renting one), it's yours to do what you want with. A lot of our customers opt to customize their containers following purchase. It could be as easy or as complicated as adding heating and walls, or even as easy as painting. Some even transform them into recording studios or swimming pools!

Containers Direct are the leading supplier of second hand containers for sale in the UK. We are also among the few British manufacturers of new bespoke shipping containers and specialists in conversions. Our nationwide depots stock a wide range of containers that include those for standard office spaces, gyms, schools, and many more.


Shipping containers have a lifespan of approximately twenty years, so it's important to make sure they are well looked after. This means that any dents, holes or other major areas of corrosion must be fixed prior to being put to use. We carry out an inspection thorough on every one of our second-hand containers before they leave the depots. We ensure that they are water and wind secure, and that there aren't large rusty areas or holes and that the doors are working. We also check their structural soundness and that they can withstand a voyage on the high seas.

The majority of our used containers are in good shape and we only sell a small percentage of the lower 10-15% of our stock. Buying used can save money and protect the environment. By reusing an existing container, you'll be keeping it out of the scrap yard and reducing embodied carbon emissions from its production. You'll also be reusing an older unit that has already completed a voyage on the high seas, and is likely to have been employed as a durable construction material throughout its life in the shipping fleet.
