20ft Used Shipping Containers
20ft used containers are essentially a metal box made from Corten steel which makes them waterproof, extremely strong and very difficult to damage or break into. Also known as ISO shipping containers, they are designed to transport cargo overseas but make ideal steel storage containers too, both in terms of cost and security. Offering great value for money, 20ft used shipping containers are one of our most popular products. 20ft used shipping containers are a popular size for people who want the security of a steel storage unit but are working with a smaller budget. The second hand 20ft is amongst the cheapest option available to buy in the UK. They also provide a great structure from which to modify and convert, even if this is something as simple as adding easy to use doors or putting extra doors in the side. Containers Direct are the only company that offer as standard 4 door types in the 20ft used shipping container range as well as an industry leading range of useful optional extras:

Containers Direct supply 20 foot containers from their fabrication depot and deliver on to all parts of the UK. In order to supply the choice of doors 40ft shipping containers are often used to cut down 20 ft long sections. New doors and end walls are then manufactured, using high gauge steel, matching corrugated metal panels which are fully seam welded to create new 20fts. The focus is always on quality production and customer choice. Learn more about how cut down containers are made.Request a Quick Quote!

TESTIMONIALS
From Sue Brooks; Brooks Transport
"My initial enquiry to Cory Fairhurst gave me complete confidence in the spec, price + delivery of the container I was looking for. Lauren Mcintosh organised delivery & my communication with the transport. Overall I cannot fault the service I received from Containers Direct & would have no reservation in recommending their excellent service in all departments."
