The shipping container business both used and new, is booming because of their strength and flexibility. There are thousands of containers on the market.
Buying used containers is an excellent method of saving money and get your project off to a faster start. Here are some reasons to think about them.
It's cheaper
The cost of purchasing a brand new container can be prohibitive for many homeowners and businesses. Containers that are used are less expensive, but still provide the same quality. It can be more expensive to construct the container you require or to have it made bespoke.
When you are choosing a container, you can choose from a range of types sizes, shapes and even conditions. We offer both new containers for one-trips as well as high quality used containers in the UK. They range from 10ft up to 40ft. Our new containers are CSC plate, which means they've been inspected by shipping lines and certified as being safe to carry cargo to overseas. Similar to our second-hand containers, our used ones will have either an ISO certificate or a CSC plate or an ISO certificate.We also provide a cheap used shipping containers that can be used as an extra garage or garden shed. The containers will show the marks of their previous life as shipping containers, which include scratches, surface rust and dents. These containers are perfect for customers with little money or don't care if their container isn't perfect. We can repaint your chosen container to dramatically improve its appearance and extend its lifespan too.
They're ready to go
If you purchase an used 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 as well as knocks and dents. However, it will be thoroughly inspected for structural integrity by the seller and will be equipped with an authentic CSC plate. This is the label that signifies that the container is certified for shipment of cargo to overseas destinations.
In addition you'll save 90% off the cost of building your own structure and won't have to wait for months to be delivered. It's possible to use your container as it is, and the majority of projects don't require approval for planning (although you should first check this out).

They're up to the job
Shipping containers are the massive steel containers you see on construction sites being loaded into lorries ships, and trains for transportation across the globe. They're designed to be wind and watertight which protects the cargo inside from the elements while they travel through rough seas and rough weather. They are also highly adaptable, flexible and versatile in their usage. In fact they can be converted to offices, cabins or even homes at only a fraction of the cost you'd spend to build the same thing from scratch.
If you are considering purchasing containers, you need to do some research to be sure you purchase the correct model. Check the condition of the windows and doors to make sure they are in good working order and sealed properly. Additionally, examine the container body for any holes or significant damage. Verify that all functioning mechanisms are in good condition. This includes the roof, lower side wall doors, hinges on the door and locks and gasket seals.
Prices for containers can vary greatly, even between locations in the UK. In this context it is advisable to examine offers from a variety of sellers and stay up-to-date with the current market trends. This means you'll be able to get the best value for your money.
Most customers buy an old container as it's cheaper than building from scratch using mortar and bricks. This is especially true since you'll have a ready-to-go base that can be used immediately and then adapted in just a few weeks.
A container can be used on construction sites to provide temporary storage space for equipment and tools or even an office. It's simple to repurpose the space when projects are completed this is a huge benefit for contractors who often are working to tight deadlines.
In a farm an old container could be a great storage solution for livestock and equipment. It's not just a secure, dry place to store equipment, but it can also serve as an animal shelter for animals that require a bit of extra security.
They're an investment that's smart
In some instances, it makes more sense to purchase a second-hand container than buying a brand new one. You might not be worried about the look of the container or your budget might not allow for a brand new one. Whatever the reason, purchasing a used container can save you money and is a good alternative for a variety of projects.
A second-hand container is just as durable as a new container, and will last as long. The steel used in these units is extremely durable and a quality container will last for approximately twenty years. It's also worth remembering that buying an used container is economically and environmentally sustainable. Reusing containers can be an eco-friendly solution since the production of one container consumes a lot of energy and raw materials.
For businesses, a storage container is a great method to keep the essential inventory, documents and equipment safe. It is ideal for storing things that aren't used frequently and is easily adaptable with shelving or doors to meet your needs. These structures are also a cheaper alternative to brick-and-mortar structures and offer a more mobile solution.
Shipping containers are located all over the world, from warehouses and factories to private houses and garden sheds. They are designed to be intermodal so that they can be moved across continents and nations.
