Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
The used and new shipping container market is booming due to their durability and versatility. There are thousands of containers available on the market.
Buying second hand containers is an excellent option to save money and get your project off the ground faster. Here are just some of the reasons you should think about these containers.
It's less expensive
The cost of purchasing a brand new container can be expensive for many homeowners and businesses. Utilizing used containers is more affordable and still offer the same quality. It is more expensive to construct the container you require or have it constructed specifically for you.
When selecting containers, you can choose from a wide range of models sizes, dimensions and even conditions. We have both new containers for one-trips as well as premium used containers in the UK. They range from 10ft all the way to 40 feet. Our new containers are CSC Plated, which means that they've been examined by shipping lines and deemed as being safe to carry cargo overseas. Similar to our second-hand containers, our used ones will come with either an CSC plate or an ISO certificate.
We also have cheap used shipping containers that are perfect to hide away from sight, to be used as a garden shed or garage. They will bear evidence of their past life in shipping lines with plenty of surface rust and scratches and dents. However, these are perfect for clients with a lower budget or who aren't concerned that their container may have an unattractive aesthetic. We can repaint the chosen container to dramatically improve its appearance and extend its life span too.
They're ready to go
You'll get an old container that has been on the back of shipping lines for many years. It will have surface scratches, rust and knocks. However, it will also have been thoroughly checked for structural integrity by the supplier and will come with a valid CSC plate. This plate indicates the container has been approved for shipping cargo overseas.
You'll also save 90 percent by building your own structure and you won't have to wait for months to obtain it. It's possible to make use of your container as it is and many projects won't require permission for planning (although be sure to check this first).

They're up for the task
Shipping containers are massive steel containers you see on construction sites. They are loaded onto lorries, trains, or onto ships for transport all over the world. They're designed to be water and wind-proof and protect the cargo inside from the elements while they travel through rough waters and harsh weather. This means they're extremely adaptable and flexible in use. In fact they can be transformed into offices, cabins or even homes at a fraction of the price you'd have to pay to construct the same thing from scratch.
If you're considering purchasing a container, it's important to do your research to make sure you get the right container to meet your needs. If you purchase a second-hand container inspect the condition of the windows and doors to ensure that they're in good order and that they seal properly. Also, look over the container body to see whether there are any major dents or holes. Also, ensure that all the mechanisms that work are working properly including hinges on the doors, locks, gasket seals, roof and lower side wall.
Container prices vary wildly and even between different locations in the UK. It is important to compare prices from different sellers and keep an eye on market trends. This means you'll be able to get the most value for your money.
The majority of customers opt to purchase an old container instead of mortar and bricks since it's cheaper. This is a good option because you'll have a foundation that is ready to go and can be adapted within a few weeks.
On construction sites, a container 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 working to tight deadlines.
On farms, a container that has been used before could be a great storage solution for machinery and livestock. Not only does it provide an unsecure, dry space for equipment, but it can be fitted out with a cozy home environment that's perfect for animals in need of an extra level of comfort.
They're an investment that's smart
In some cases it may make sense to purchase an used container rather than an entirely new one. You might not be worried about the design of the container or your budget may not allow for an entirely new one. The purchase of a used container can be a great way to save money, and can be used for many different projects and uses.
A second-hand container is as durable as a new container, and will last as long. The steel used in these containers is extremely durable and the durability of a good container can last for about twenty years. It's also worth remembering that buying an used container is economically and environmentally sustainable. The production of one container requires large amounts of energy and raw materials, which is why reuse of a container is an environmentally sustainable option.
A storage container is an excellent option for businesses to safeguard important documents, stock and equipment. It is ideal for storage of items that are not used regularly and is easily adaptable with shelving or doors to meet your needs. They're also a less expensive alternative to bricks-and-mortar structures and provide a more mobile solution.
Containers are used in many locations around the globe. From factories and warehouses to private homes and gardens sheds. They are designed to be intermodal, so they can be moved across continents and countries.
