Second Hand containers for sale uk (check these guys out)
Containers are often a great investment, both financially and environmentally. It’s typically cheaper than building a house, and it is possible to move from lorry-to-work area in a matter of days.
We offer both used and new shipping containers. Our second-hand containers are usually 9-14 years old, with a few scuffs and scratches but still in good condition.
Storage
Storage units are a great option for those who want to save Confined Space Containers or protect expensive objects against the elements. The choice is usually between purchasing a brand new container or a second hand one. It’s worth noting that many new containers are offered in flat pack form which means you can reduce the cost of delivery and cut down on assembly time. In this configuration they’re still durable and secure, as well as portable. They’re also available in standard height 20ft and 40ft high cubes and are able to be joined to create larger areas of storage.
Many people believe that second-hand containers for modal have been damaged beyond repair. This is not the case. The majority of our 10ft Storage Containers containers used have years of use left in them and are in a good structural state with no major holes or rust damage.
Containers Direct works with a network of containers that are of high quality in the UK. They can offer a variety of sizes for containers as well as custom lengths. Before leaving the depot, the containers are inspected to ensure that they are watertight, do not have large holes or dents and that their doors work. These containers are of top quality and a great choice for both businesses and homeowners.
Shipping containers are durable and flexible products that can be reused many times over the course of their life. They can be sold as storage units but increasingly, people prefer to modify the containers after purchase in order to maximise their potential. Some of the most popular uses include a shed for the garden, a home gym or a workshop for storing tools and equipment.
Shipping containers are usually recycled at the end of their lifespan, but it is much more sustainable to reuse them and keep these precious steel pieces for as long as it is feasible. This will reduce the embodied emissions of carbon and limit the need to further harm the environment by recycling or melting.
Cafes
Cafes are an eatery that serves drinks and food. Their cosy, informal atmospheres and flexible operating hours make them popular. Cafes, in contrast to restaurants, typically serve food that is casual, like sandwiches and lighter meals. They can also have art exhibits and other cultural events that encourage the community’s involvement. The term is distinct from the sterile ‘Coffee Shop”, which has a more enduring meaning in Australia and UK.
Offices
If you purchase a container (unlike renting one) you own it to do whatever you want with. After buying their containers, many of our customers decide to personalize them to their own specifications. This could be as simple as painting, or as complex as installing internal walls and heating. Some transform them into swimming pools or recording studios!
Containers Direct are the leading provider of second-hand containers for sale in the UK. We are also one of the few British manufacturers of brand new custom shipping containers and experts in conversions. Our nationwide depots stock a wide range of containers that include those for standard office spaces schools, gyms, and many more.
Shipping containers can last for up to twenty years. It is important that they are well maintained. This means that any holes, dents or areas of major corrosion should be repaired before being used. We carry out an extensive inspection of every one of our second-hand containers before they leave our depots. We check that they are wind and water tight, there are no holes or large areas of rust, and that the doors are functioning. We also check that they are structurally sound and can be able to withstand a voyage on the high seas.
Most of our used containers are in good condition and we only sell a tiny portion of the bottom 10% of our inventory. Buying used can save money and help protect the environment. Reusing an old container keeps it out of an empty scrap yard and will reduce the emissions of embodied carbon generated by its manufacturing. In addition, you’ll be reusing an item that has been on the high seas and is therefore likely to have served as a strong building material in its time on the 8ft Shipping Containers fleet.
