The purchase of used containers is a great method of saving money while getting your project underway faster. Here are a few reasons why you should think about using them.
They're cheaper
Many businesses and homeowners find the cost of a new container prohibitive. The purchase of used containers can be less expensive and provide the same level of quality. It is also far more costly to construct what you need with mortar and bricks, or to get a new container bespokely built for you.
When selecting containers, you can choose from a range of types, sizes and even condition. We have new one-trip containers as well as high used containers available in the UK, ranging from 10ft to 40ft long. Our new containers come with CSC plates which means that they've been approved and inspected by shipping lines for transporting cargo internationally. Our second-hand containers are also plated with either an ISO or CSC certificate.
We also have used and cheap shipping containers that are perfect to store away from view, and used as garages or garden sheds. These containers will show evidence of their past life on the shipping lines, with plenty of surface rust and knocks and dents. However, these are perfect for those with a smaller budget or who don't mind that their container might have an unattractive aesthetic. We can repaint the container of your choice to improve its appearance, and also extend its life.
They're ready to go
If you buy a second hand 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 have been thoroughly checked for structural integrity by the vendor and will come with an authentic CSC plate. This plate indicates the container has been certified for shipment of cargo to overseas destinations.

If you're thinking of buying a container, you should do some research to make sure you buy the right model. If you purchase a second-hand container make sure you check the condition of the windows and doors to ensure that they're in good order and seal properly. Additionally, inspect the container's body for holes or major scratches. Also, make sure all the mechanisms that work are intact This includes door hinges and locks, gasket seals, the roof and lower side wall.
Prices for containers can vary greatly, even between locations in the UK. In this regard it is advisable to look at offers from different sellers and keep abreast of the latest market trends. You'll get the most value for your money when you compare offers from a variety of sellers.
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 good idea since you'll have a base that's ready to start and can be altered within just a few weeks.
A container can be utilized on construction sites to provide temporary storage space for tools and equipment, or even as an office. It's easy to repurpose the space when projects are completed this is a huge benefit for contractors who must meet tight deadlines.
A container that is used can be an ideal solution to store livestock and farm machinery. Not only does it provide an unsecure, dry space for machinery, but it can be equipped with a comfortable home which is ideal for animals who require some extra comfort.
They're a smart investment
In some cases it makes more sense to buy a second-hand container than an entirely new one. You may not be concerned about the look of the container, or your budget may not allow for a new one. The purchase of a used container can be an excellent way to save money and can be used for a variety of different projects and uses.
While it's true that a new container will look better than a used one (especially since they're typically sold in one solid colour and without shipping corporate logos) However, a second-hand unit is perfectly suitable for a variety of uses and will last the same as a brand-new one. Steel is the main material used in these containers and a well-constructed container can last for as long as twenty years. It's also worth remembering that purchasing an used container is economically and environmentally responsible. Reusing a container can be an eco-friendly solution since the manufacturing process of a container consumes a lot of energy and raw materials.
For businesses, a storage container is a great way to keep essential items, documents, and machinery secure. It's perfect for storing things that aren't used frequently and can be adapted to suit your specific requirements by adding doors or shelves. They're also a less expensive alternative to bricks-and-mortar structures and provide a more mobile solution.
