Manufactured from heavy duty steel they are designed to last for many years, without falling victim to damaging corrosion that causes holes and leaks that render a container useless. In addition they are almost impossible to break into, so you can be reassured the contents will be secure. Whether you buy a container for shipping or storage, you are guaranteed of a very strong, long lasting unit. We sell shipping containers for sending goods abroad, overseas relocation of either home or business, and containers for storage. Read on to find out which is the best type of container for you!

If you are searching for shipping containers in Sheffield for overseas transportation you will need an ISO container that is certified (known in the trade as a CSC Plate) as up to standard for safe handling and transportation by road, rail and sea. Containers Direct sell these in 20ft and 40ft lengths, and we always make it clear to customers whether the container being sold is suitable for shipping. Standard sized shipping containers are also the best value for money when buying them for storage. They wil give you long lasting, secure storage space.
Choosing a shipping container for storage
For shipping containers in Sheffield exclusively for storage use, we have a variety of new and used shipping containers to suit all budgets. As these containers are not going to be used for shipping they no longer require a CSC plating, and therefore many of these have been modified with storage used in mind. A wide range of sizes are available, from 8ft to 40ft and everything in between. Odd sizes, like this 16ft shipping container, are made by taking larger containers and cutting them up to make new units of varying dimensions. New doors are often added to complete these units, which many customers find more convenient to use on storage containers. For more information on cut up containers and door types read our article on 15ft used shipping containers.

Case Study of the Month
March 2025CS54207 - 20ft cladded garden room
It's hard to believe this building started out as a used 20ft shipping container! With a smart set of patio style doors, lined with wood on the inside and clad on the outside, it's not only a handsome devil but cosy to hang out in. The trend of having a back garden "hang out" is increasingly popular and can be used for anything you like, including leisure and work space, a gym, yoga studio or social space - add a bar and you will never be more popular! This building is divided into two sections, a small area for outdoor storage and larger area for social and leisure activities.
Take a look at some of the most engaging work we have undertaken in
recent years. With detailed pictures, a step by step guide and a deep
insight to many projects, our case studies cover a range of applications.
