Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
The purchase of a container is typically economically and environmentally responsible. It's cheaper than building, and often a lot quicker - you can go from lorry to work in a matter of days.
We have both new and used shipping containers. Our second-hand containers are usually 9-14 years old and may have a few scuffs and scratches, but are still in good shape.
Storage
A storage unit is a perfect solution when space is at the limit or you want to protect expensive items from the elements. It is often a matter of buying a new container or a used one. Many new containers come flat-packed, which can reduce the cost of delivery and assembly. In this configuration they're still durable, secure, and man-portable. They're also available in 20ft standard height or 40ft high cube options and can be joined to create larger storage spaces.
Many people think that second hand modal containers are battered beyond repair However, this couldn't be any further from the reality. The majority of our used storage containers have years of use left in them and are in a good structural state with no major holes or corrosion.
Containers Direct work with a network of suppliers who supply quality containers in the UK and offers a variety of container sizes including custom lengths. Before leaving the depot, the containers are checked to ensure that they are watertight, don't have big holes or dents, and that the doors are functional. These are top-quality containers and are a great choice for businesses and homeowners alike.
Shipping containers are durable and versatile products that can be reused multiple times throughout their lifetime. Refrigerated Containers can be used as storage units, but more and more people choose to customize the containers following purchase to maximize their potential. Some of the most well-known uses are a shed for the garden, a home-gym or a workshop to store equipment and tools.
Shipping containers are typically recycled at the end their working life However, it is better for the environment to reuse them and keep these precious steel pieces in use for as long as is possible. This can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and limit the need to further harm the environment by recycling or melting.
Cafes
Cafes are eateries serving drinks and food. They are renowned for their cozy, casual atmospheres and the flexibility of their operating hours. Cafes, unlike restaurants tend to serve casual food like sandwiches and light meals. Refrigerated Containers can also have art exhibits and other cultural events to foster community engagement. The term is different from the uninspiring "Coffee Shop" that has a broader meaning in Australia and in the UK.
Offices
You can do whatever you would like with a container that you own (unlike if you were renting one). After purchasing their containers, many of our customers decide to customize them. This could be as simple as painting or as complicated as installing internal walls and heating. Some even transform them into recording studios or swimming pools!
Containers Direct are the leading supplier of second hand containers for sale in the UK. We are one of the few British manufacturers that manufacture new bespoke shipping container and conversions. From standard offices to containers for schools, gyms and much more, our depots across the country offer used, new and flat pack containers in a variety of sizes.
Shipping containers last a period of about twenty years, which is why it is essential to ensure they are maintained. It is essential to repair any holes, dents, or areas of corrosion before using the container. We conduct an inspection thorough on all of our second-hand containers prior to leaving the depots. We check that they are water and wind tight, there are no holes or large areas of rust, and that the doors work. We also ensure that they are structurally sound and will withstand a journey on the high seas.
The majority of our used containers are in good working order and we only sell a tiny portion of the bottom 10% of our inventory. Buying second-hand can help you save money as well as the environment. Reusing an old container, you'll keep it out of the scrap yard and reducing the carbon emissions resulting from its manufacturing. You'll also be reusing an older unit that has completed a voyage on the high seas, and was likely to be employed as a durable construction material throughout its life in the shipping fleet.
