24ft New Shipping Containers

24ft new shipping containers are manufactured exclusively at Containers Direct. As 24ft is not a standard size of container - ie 20ft and 40ft -they need to be cut down from these readily available sized containers, and completed with the addition of new doors or end walls.

For new cut down 24ft shipping containers we start the process with a 40ft container that has only had one import journey, as standard 40ft shipping containers are manufactured in China. Once the container arrives on our shores we take it into our workshops to modify to the required size. Find out more about cut down containers. We also offer cut and shut containers if the container is needed for lifting heavy loads or stacking.

Doors in the side

These can be useful for a number of reasons, including easy access and the option to site your container with the longside facing out. We can also fit extra wide side doors, and multiple sets, and side doors can be either replace the end door, or be fitted in addition to it.
Prices for additional doors are:

S1 and S2 - £645,

S3 - £805
