Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
The newest and used shipping container industry is booming thanks to their durability and adaptability. There are a lot of containers on the market.
Buying second hand containers is an excellent option to save money and get your project off the ground quicker. Here are just some reasons why you should consider these containers.
They're less expensive
Many businesses and homeowners find the expense of an entirely new container too expensive. Used containers are more affordable, but still provide the same quality. It is more costly to construct the container you require or to have it built specifically for you.
When you are choosing a container, you can choose from a wide range of models, sizes and even condition. We offer both new containers for one-trips as well as premium used containers in the UK. They vary from 10ft to 40 feet. Our new containers are CSC Plated, which means that they've been inspected by shipping lines and certified as safe to transport cargo across the ocean. Similar to our second-hand containers, our used ones will be equipped with either an ISO certificate or a CSC plate or an ISO certificate.
We also have cheap used shipping containers that are ideal to hide away from view, and used as garages or garden sheds. These will have significant evidence of their past life on shipping lines, with plenty of surface rust and knocks and dents. They are also great for clients with a lower budget or who don't mind the fact that their container has an unattractive aesthetic. We can repaint your chosen container to drastically improve its appearance and extend the life of your container too.
They're ready to go
If you purchase an old container you'll be getting a pre-owned container that's been in the back of shipping lines and will be covered with lots of surface rust and scratches and dents. However, it will also be thoroughly inspected for structural integrity by the seller and come fitted with a valid CSC plate. This plate shows that the container has been authorised to transport cargo internationally.
In addition, you'll save 90% off the cost of building your own structure and won't need to wait months for it to be delivered. You can make use of your container as it is and many projects won't require approval for planning (although you should first check this out).

Shipping containers are massive steel boxes that you can see on a construction sites, and are loaded into lorries and trains, or onto ships for transport around the world. COG Shipping are designed to be wind- and water-tight and protect cargo from the elements as they traverse rough seas or extreme conditions. As a result, they're also extremely versatile and adaptable in their use. In fact they can be transformed into offices, cabins or even homes at a fraction of the price you'd have to pay to construct an equivalent from scratch.
If you're considering purchasing containers, it's crucial to do your research to make sure you select the best model for your needs. If you buy secondhand inspect the condition of the windows and doors to ensure they're in good condition and seal properly. Also, check the container body for any holes or significant scratches. Also, ensure that all working mechanisms are in good working order - this includes the door hinges and locks, gasket seals, roof and lower side wall.
Prices for containers vary widely across locations in the UK. It's important to compare prices from different sellers and stay up-to date on market trends. You'll get the best value for your money when you compare offers from a variety of sellers.
Most customers buy containers from second-hand stores because they are cheaper than building from scratch using mortar and bricks. This is logical, especially as you'll have a ready-to-go base that can be utilized immediately and then adapted in just a few weeks.
On construction sites, containers can be used as a temporary storage solution for tools and equipment, a breakroom or an onsite office. The space can be reused after the project is completed This is a great option for contractors who are working under tight deadlines.
On a farm, a used container can be a perfect storage solution for livestock and machinery. It's not just a safe, dry place to store equipment, it could also be transformed into a place for animals that require a little more security.
They're an investment you can trust
In certain circumstances, it may make more sense to buy an old container instead of the brand new one. Perhaps the appearance of the container isn't that important to you, or perhaps your budget doesn't allow for a brand new purchase. Whatever the case, buying a used container will save you money and is a good option for many purposes and projects.
A second-hand unit is just as durable as a new container, and will last as long. Steel is the main material used in these units, and a good container can last for up to twenty years.

Reusing a container is an eco-friendly solution since the manufacturing process of a container requires an enormous amount of energy and raw materials.
A storage container is an excellent way for a business to safeguard important stock, documents, and machinery. It's ideal for storing items that aren't used frequently and can be easily customized to your particular requirements with the addition of doors or shelves. They're also a less expensive alternative to bricks-and-mortar buildings, and offer a much more portable option.
