Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
The shipping container industry that is used and new, is booming because of their strength and durability. There are a myriad of containers available on the market.
Utilizing second-hand containers is an excellent way to save money and get your project off the ground faster. Here are some reasons to consider them.
They're less expensive
Many homeowners and businesses find the expense of purchasing the purchase of a new container to be prohibitive. Purchasing used containers can be less expensive and provide the same quality. Alternatively, it can be much more expensive to construct what you need with mortar and bricks, or to have a new container custom-built for you.
When you are choosing a container, you can choose from a variety of styles, sizes and even conditions. We have new one-trip containers as well as high used containers available in the UK that range from 10ft to 40ft long. Our new containers come with CSC plates that means they've been approved and inspected by shipping lines to carry cargo internationally. Similar to our second-hand containers, our used ones will have either a CSC plate or an ISO certificate.
We also offer cheap used shipping container that can be used as an extra garage or garden shed. These will have significant evidence of their past life on shipping lines, with lots of surface rust and scratches and dents. However, these are perfect for those with a smaller budget or who don't mind that their container may have an unattractive aesthetic. We can paint the container you want to improve its appearance, and also extend its lifespan.
They're ready to go
You'll get an old container that has been on the back of shipping lines for a long time. It'll be covered in scratches, rust and knocks. But, it will have been thoroughly checked for structural integrity by the supplier and come fitted with a valid CSC plate. This plate signifies that the container has been authorised to transport cargo internationally.
Additionally you'll save 90% off the cost of building your own structure and won't need to wait months for it to be delivered. You can use your container in its current condition and the majority of projects don't require planning permission.

They're ready for the task
Shipping containers are large steel boxes you see on construction sites. Construction Containers are loaded onto lorries and trains, or onto ships to be transported around the world. They're designed to be water and wind-proof, protecting the cargo within from the elements as they traverse rough seas and rough weather. This means they're also highly versatile and adaptable in their use. In fact they can be converted into cabins, offices or even homes at a fraction of the price you'd spend to build an equivalent from scratch.
If you are considering purchasing containers, you need to conduct some research to make sure you purchase the correct model. If you purchase a second-hand container, check the condition of the windows and doors to ensure that they're in good order and seal properly. Also, check the body of the container for holes or significant damage. Also, ensure that all working mechanisms are in good working order - this includes the door hinges and locks, gasket seals, roof and lower side wall.
Prices for containers can be wildly different, even within the UK. It's important to compare prices from different sellers and stay up-to date on the latest market trends. You'll get the most price for your money if you compare offers from multiple sellers.
The majority of people buy containers from second-hand stores because they are cheaper than building from the ground up using mortar and bricks. This is a great option since you'll have a base that's ready to go and can be adapted within just a few weeks.
On construction sites, containers can be used as a temporary storage option for equipment and tools as well as a breakroom or office on site. The space can easily be repurposed after the project is completed, which is great for contractors who are often working to tight deadlines.
On farms, a used container can be an ideal storage solution for machinery and livestock. It's not just a secure, dry place to store your equipment, but it can also serve as an animal shelter for animals that need a little extra comfort.
They're a smart investment
In certain situations, it is more sense to purchase an old container rather than a new one. Perhaps the style of the container isn't as important to you, or maybe your budget isn't enough for a brand new purchase. Whatever the reason, purchasing an old container can save you money and is an excellent option for many purposes and projects.
While it's true that a brand new container will appear better than one that has been used (especially since they're typically sold in a single colour, free of shipping company logos) However, a second-hand container is perfectly suited for all purposes and is guaranteed to last for as long as a brand new one. The steel used in these units is extremely durable and a quality container will last for around twenty years. It is important to keep in mind that buying a used shipping container is both green and economically sound. The manufacturing of a single container requires large amounts of energy and raw materials, which is why reusing a container is such an environmentally responsible solution.
For a business, a storage container is a great way to keep essential stock, documents and machinery safe. It is ideal for storing items that are not used regularly and is easily adaptable by adding shelves or doors to meet your requirements. These structures are also a more affordable alternative to brick and mortar structures, and offer a more mobile solution.
Shipping containers are found all over the world, from warehouses and factories to private homes and garden sheds. They are designed to be intermodal, which means they can be used to transport goods across continents and countries.
