The new and used shipping container industry is booming thanks to their durability and adaptability. You'll find thousands of containers for sale and in stock around the world.
The purchase of second-hand containers is an excellent way to save money and get your project off the ground faster. Here are a few reasons to think about these containers.
They're cheaper
Many homeowners and businesses find the expense of purchasing a new container prohibitive. The cost of used containers is lower, but still provide the same quality. It can be more costly to construct the container you need or have it constructed bespoke.
You can pick from a variety of types, sizes and specifications when you choose containers. 10ft Storage Containers have new containers for one-trips as well as high quality used containers in the UK. They range from 10ft all the way to 40ft. Our new containers are CSC plate, which means they've been checked by shipping lines and deemed as safe to transport cargo to overseas. Our second-hand containers are equipped with an ISO or CSC certificate.
We also have used and cheap shipping containers that are perfect to store away from sight, for use as garage or garden shed. These containers will show signs of their previous use as shipping containers, such as scratches, surface rust and scratches. These are great for clients with a lower budget or who aren't concerned that their container might have an unattractive aesthetic. We can paint your container to dramatically improve its appearance and increase its life span too.
They're ready for action
When you buy a second hand container, you'll be getting a pre-owned 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 have been thoroughly examined for structural integrity by the seller and will be equipped with an authentic CSC plate. This is the plate that indicates that the container has been authorized to transport cargo internationally.
In addition you'll save up to 90% of the cost of building your own structure, and you won't have to wait for months to be delivered. You can utilize your container however it is, and the majority of projects will not require approval for planning (although check this out first).

They're up for the job
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 which protects the cargo inside from the elements while they travel through rough waters and harsh weather. They are also highly adaptable, flexible and versatile in their usage. They can be turned into cabins, homes or offices for a fraction the cost of building a similar structure from scratch.
When you're considering buying a container, it's important to conduct your research to make sure you get the right container for your requirements. Examine the condition of the doors and windows to ensure that they are in good working order and are sealed properly. Additionally, examine the body of the container for holes or significant dents. Also, ensure that all the working mechanisms are intact - this includes the door hinges, locks, gasket seals, the roof and lower side wall.
Prices for containers can vary greatly, even between locations in the UK. It is important to compare prices across different sellers and keep an eye on market trends. You'll get the most value for your money if you compare offers from multiple sellers.
A majority of people choose to purchase an old container instead of mortar and bricks because it is cheaper. This is logical, especially because you'll have a ready base that can be used immediately and adapted in a matter of weeks.
On construction sites, containers can be used as a temporary storage option for tools and equipment, a breakroom, or an onsite office. The space can be easily repurposed after the project is completed which is ideal for contractors working to strict deadlines.
In a farm, a container that has been used before could be a great storage solution for livestock and machinery. It's not just a safe dry and dry location to store your equipment, but it can also serve as a home for animals who need a little extra comfort.
They're an investment that's smart
In certain situations it may make sense to purchase a second hand container over an entirely new one. Maybe the design of the container isn't important to you, or maybe your budget simply won't allow for a brand new purchase. The purchase of a used container can be an excellent way to save money, and can be used for a variety of different purposes and projects.
While there's no doubt that a new container will look better than one that has been used (especially because they're typically sold in one solid colour and without shipping company logos) However, a second-hand container is perfectly suited for a variety of uses and will last just as long as a brand new one. Steel is used to make these containers and a quality container can last up to twenty years. It is important to keep in mind that purchasing a used shipping container is both environmentally friendly and economically sound. The production of a single container requires large amounts of energy and raw materials, which is why reusing a container is such an environmentally sustainable option.
A storage container is an excellent way to keep essential items, documents, and machinery secure. It's ideal for storage of items that aren't used frequently and can be easily customized to your particular needs with the addition of doors or shelves. These structures are also a cheaper alternative to brick-and-mortar structures, and offer a more flexible solution.
Shipping containers can be found all around the world from factories and warehouses to private gardens and homes. Their intermodal design makes them perfect for transporting across continents and countries regardless of whether they're in the back of truck in Asia or lifted onto a cargo ship to cross the ocean.
