The new and used shipping container industry is growing due to their durability and flexibility. There are thousands of containers available on the market.
Buying used containers is an excellent method of saving money and get your project started faster. Here are some reasons to consider them.
They're also less expensive
The cost of a brand-new container can be expensive for many businesses and homeowners. The cost of used containers is lower and still offer the same quality. However, it could be far more expensive to build the container you require using mortar and bricks or to have a brand new container custom-built for you.
When selecting containers, you can pick from a wide range of models sizes, shapes and even condition. We have new containers for one-trips and high quality used containers in the UK. They vary from 10ft to 40 feet. Our new containers are equipped with CSC plates, which means they've been approved and inspected by shipping lines for transporting cargo to other countries. Our second-hand containers are also equipped with an ISO or CSC 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 time in shipping lines with plenty of surface rust and scratches and dents. These containers are perfect for clients who have a limited budget or don't care about the fact that their container isn't perfect. We can paint the container of your choice to improve its appearance, and also prolong its lifespan.
They're ready to go
When you buy an old container you'll get a second-hand box that has spent years in the back of shipping lines and will have lots of surface rust as well as knocks and scratches. However, it will also be thoroughly inspected for structural integrity by the seller and will come with an authentic CSC plate. This plate shows that the container has been authorised to ship cargo overseas.
In addition you'll save up to 90% off the cost of building your own structure and won't need to wait for months to be delivered. You can use your container in its current state and the majority of projects don't require planning permission.

They're fit for purpose
Shipping containers are large steel boxes that you see on construction sites, being loaded into lorries, trains and ships for transport across the globe. They're designed to be water and wind-proof, protecting the cargo within from the elements as they travel through rough seas and rough weather. As a result, they're also extremely adaptable and flexible in use. In fact they can be transformed into cabins, offices or even homes for only a fraction of the cost you'd have to pay to construct similar structures from scratch.
If you're considering purchasing containers, it's crucial to do your research to make sure you get the right container for your requirements. Examine the condition of the windows and doors to make sure they are in good condition and sealed properly. Additionally, inspect the container's body for holes or significant damage. Verify that all functioning mechanisms are in good working order. This includes the roof, the lower side wall, door hinges and locks and the gasket seals.
Container prices vary wildly, even between locations in the UK. In this context it is advisable to compare offers from multiple sellers and keep up-to-date on current market trends. You'll get the most value for your money if you compare offers from several sellers.
The majority of people buy a second-hand container because it's cheaper than building from the ground up using mortar and bricks. This is especially true as 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 tools and equipment, or even as an office. The space can be reused when the project is finished, which is great for contractors who are working under tight deadlines.
A used container can be an ideal storage solution for animals and farm machinery. It's not just a safe, dry place to store equipment, it can also serve as a place for animals that require a little more security.
They're a smart investment
In certain circumstances it may make sense to purchase an old container instead of an entirely new one. Perhaps the style of the container isn't that important to you, or maybe your budget isn't enough for a brand-new purchase. Whatever the reason, purchasing a used container can save you money and is an excellent alternative for a variety of purposes and projects.
There's no doubt that a brand-new container will look better than one that has been used (especially as they're usually sold in one color, without shipping company logos), a second hand unit is perfectly suitable for all purposes and is guaranteed to last just as long as a brand new one. Steel is used to make these units, and a good container can last for as long as twenty years. It is also essential to keep in mind that purchasing an old shipping container is both environmentally friendly and economically sensible. Reusing a container is an eco-friendly option since the manufacturing of a single container uses lots of energy and raw material.
A storage container is a great option for businesses to safeguard important stock, documents and machinery. It's ideal for storage of items that aren't in constant use and can be easily modified to meet your specific requirements by adding doors or shelves. They're also a cost-effective alternative to bricks-and-mortar buildings, and offer a much more portable solution.
Containers are used in a variety of locations around the globe. From factories and warehouses, to private homes and gardens sheds. They are designed to be intermodal so that they can be moved across continents and countries.
