Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
The shipping container business, both new and used, is booming due to their strength and durability. There are a myriad of containers on the market.
Utilizing second-hand containers is an excellent option to save money and get your project off the ground faster. Here are some reasons to think about them.
It's cheaper
The cost of a brand-new container can be expensive for many homeowners and businesses. Utilizing used containers is less expensive and provide the same quality. It can be more expensive to build the container you require or to have it built specifically for you.
When you are choosing a container, you can pick from a wide range of models, sizes and even conditions. We have new containers for one-trips as well as premium used containers in the UK. They vary from 10ft to 40ft. Our new containers have CSC plates which means that 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 an CSC plate or an ISO certificate.
We also have used, cheap shipping containers that are ideal for tucking away out of view, and used as a garden shed or garage. The containers will show the marks of their former life as shipping containers, which include surface rust, knocks and dent. They are also great for those with a smaller budget or who don't mind that their container may have an unattractive aesthetic. We can repaint the container you want to improve its appearance, and also extend its life.
They're ready to go
If you buy an old container you'll be purchasing a used container that has been sat for years on the back of shipping lines and will have lots of surface rust and scratches and dents. The seller will have inspected the structural integrity of the container and fitted it with an authentic CSC Plate. This plate indicates that the container has been authorised to ship cargo overseas.
You can also save up to 90% by creating your own structure, and you won't have to wait for months to receive it. You can use your container as it is and the majority of projects don't require planning permission.

They're fit for purpose
Shipping containers are large steel containers you see on construction sites, and are loaded onto lorries, trains or onto ships for transport around the world. They are designed to be water- and wind-tight and protect cargo from the elements as they traverse rough seas or difficult conditions. This means they're extremely versatile and adaptable in their use. In fact they can be converted to offices, cabins or even homes at less than the cost you'd have to pay to construct an equivalent from scratch.
If you're thinking of purchasing a container, it's important to do your research so that you get the right container for your needs. If you buy secondhand, check the condition of the doors and windows to ensure that they're in good order and are sealed properly. Also, look over the body of the container to determine if there are any major dents or holes. Make sure that all working mechanisms are in good working order. This includes the roof, lower side wall door hinges and locks, as well as gasket seals.
The cost of containers can be extremely different, even within the UK. In this context it is advisable to examine offers from a variety of sellers and keep up-to-date on the current market trends. You'll get the best price for your money if you compare offers from multiple sellers.
Most customers buy containers from second-hand stores because they are cheaper than building from the ground up with bricks and mortar. This is logical, especially because you'll have a ready base that can be used right away and then adapted within a matter of weeks.
On construction sites, a container can be used as a temporary storage solution for equipment and tools as well as a breakroom or office on site. The space can be reused when the project is finished, which is great for contractors working under tight deadlines.
A used container can be an ideal storage solution for livestock and farm machinery. Not only does it provide a secure, dry place for equipment and livestock, but it also can be outfitted with a cozy home environment that's perfect for animals that require some extra comfort.
They're an investment that's smart
In some instances, it makes more sense to purchase a second-hand container than an entirely new one. Perhaps the style of the container isn't important to you, or maybe your budget doesn't allow for a brand new purchase. Whatever the case, buying an old container can save you money and is a great option for many purposes and projects.
While there's no doubt that a brand-new container will appear superior to one used (especially as they're usually sold in one color and free of shipping corporate logos), a second hand container is perfectly suited for all purposes and will last as long as a new one. The steel used in these units is extremely durable and a quality container will last for about twenty years. It's also worth remembering that buying a used container is both economically and environmentally sustainable. The production of a single container requires a lot of energy and raw materials, which is why reuse of a container is an environmentally sustainable option.
A storage container is an excellent way for businesses to safeguard important documents, stock, and machinery. It's perfect for storing things that aren't in constant use, and can be easily adapted to suit your specific needs with the addition of doors or shelves. These structures are also a more affordable alternative to brick-and-mortar structures and offer a more flexible solution.
Containers are utilized in a variety of locations across the globe. From warehouses and factories as well as private homes and gardens sheds. They are designed to be intermodal, which means they can be transported across continents and countries.
