Shipping containers developed as a method of moving & exporting cargo & have a fascinating history. However it is their role as secure & cheap storage units that led shipping containers to become familiar objects seen everywhere from school playgrounds to industrial estates and from building sites to back gardens. Shipping containers are now even being converted for use as houses & homes!
Nearly all shipping containers are 8ft wide with standard lengths of 20ft or 40ft. If you are looking to buy a shipping container for use as storage these lengths are usually the cheapest options. Anything shorter in length or in between must be modified which, although adding to the cost, can still represent unbeatable value for money in terms of secure anti-vandal storage. Indeed, Containers Direct specialise in the cutting down of shipping containers to the clients required length.
Look below & you can see categories of containers converted to most lengths available for sale. If you don't see the length you need we can supply to order often at lead times of less than three days!
If you need shipping containers for export overseas please check with our office first because not all containers are suitable for this purpose.
