Utilizing used containers is a great option to save money while getting your project off to a faster start. Here are just some reasons why you should consider these containers.
They're cheaper
Many businesses and homeowners find the cost of a new container prohibitive. Purchasing used containers can be cheaper and offer the same level of quality. However, it could be much more expensive to construct the container you require using mortar and bricks, or to have a new container bespokely built for you.
When selecting containers, you can pick from a variety of styles sizes, shapes and even the condition. We have both new containers for one-trips as well as premium used containers in the UK. They range from 10ft up to 40ft. Our containers are CSC plated, meaning they've been checked by shipping lines and deemed as fit to carry cargo across the ocean. Our second-hand containers will come with either an CSC plate or an ISO certificate.
We also provide a cheap used shipping container that can be used as an outdoor shed or garage. The containers will show the marks of their previous life as shipping containers, such as scratches, rust and dent. These containers are perfect for customers with an unfavorable budget or aren't concerned if their container isn't perfect. 30ft shipping containers can repaint the chosen container to dramatically improve its appearance and increase its life span too.
They're ready for action
If you purchase an used container, you'll be purchasing a used box that has spent years in 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 a valid CSC Plate. This plate signifies that the container has been authorised to carry cargo across the world.
Additionally you'll save 90% on the cost of building your own structure and won't have to wait for months to be delivered. It is possible to use your container as it is, and the majority of projects don't require approval for planning (although check this out first).

They're fit for purpose
Shipping containers are massive steel boxes you see on construction site, which are loaded into lorries and trains, or onto ships for transport across the globe. They are designed to be water- and wind-tight to shield cargo from the elements while they travel through rough seas and harsh conditions. They're also extremely versatile and adaptable in their use. In fact they can be converted to offices, cabins or even homes for only a fraction of the cost you'd spend to build similar structures from scratch.
If you're thinking of purchasing containers, it's crucial to conduct your research so that you select the best model for your needs. Verify the condition of the windows and doors to make sure they are in good working order and sealed properly. Additionally, examine the container body for any holes or significant damage. Also, ensure that all the working mechanisms are working properly including hinges on the doors and locks, gasket seals, the roof and lower side wall.
Prices for containers can be wildly different, even within the UK. It's important to compare prices from different sellers and stay up-to date on the latest market trends. This way, you'll be able to get the best value for your money.
The majority of people buy containers from second-hand stores because they are cheaper than building from scratch using bricks and mortar. This is a great option because you'll have a base ready to start and can be altered within a few weeks.
A container can be used on construction sites to provide temporary storage space for tools and equipment or as an office. It's easy to repurpose the space when projects are completed which is a major benefit for contractors who often are working to tight deadlines.
On farms, a used container can be a perfect storage solution for livestock and machinery. It's not just an unsecure, dry space for machinery, but it can be equipped with a comfortable home that's perfect for animals in need of some extra comfort.
They're a smart investment
In certain circumstances, it may make more sense to purchase an old container instead of the brand new one. You might not be worried about the appearance of the container or your budget might not allow for a new one. Buying a used container is a great option to save money and can be used for many different purposes and projects.
A second-hand container is just as durable as a new container, and can last for as long. Steel is the material used to construct these containers and a well-constructed container can last for up to twenty years. It's also worth remembering that buying an used container is economically and environmentally sustainable. Reusing a container is an eco-friendly solution since the production of one container consumes a lot of energy and raw material.
A storage container is a great way for a business to secure important documents, stock, and machinery. It is ideal for storing items that are not used regularly and can be easily adapted with doors or shelves to meet your requirements. They're also an affordable alternative to bricks and mortar buildings, and offer a much more mobile solution.
Containers are used in a variety of places around the world. From warehouses and factories to private gardens and homes. They are designed to be intermodal so that they can be used to transport goods across continents and nations.
