Flat Pack Shipping Containers
Containers Direct are the largest retailer of genuine ExpandaStore® flat pack shipping containers, the best-selling and best quality demountable container available in the UK. These units are from the ExpandaRange®, and are ideal where robust anti-vandal storage is required but space is limited or access restricted. Flat pack shipping containers can be delivered to even the most awkward of locations, without the expense of a heavy lifting vehicle. All components are fully man portable, which means that if necessary they can be carried by hand to the precise spot where they are required. If your site is not suitable for access by a large lorry then choose flat pack storage containers. While being lightweight and compact when down, the ExpandaStore® is very strong when erected. With two euro deadlocks on the door as standard, our units offer very high levels of security, which can be further maximised by a locking bar and padlock. They are perfect to use as mobile storage container units too, as the time taken to put them up and down can be as little as an hour. The only tools required are a screwdriver, socket set and a cup of tea!

Quick and easy assembly
Take a look at our guide to erecting flat pack containers in eight simple steps. It's not as tricky as you may think, and the smallest size can be put together by two people in less than 60 minutes. The reverse process will bring your container back down to flat pack form for easy removal to a new location, or to be neatly stored away.Flat Pack Container Dimensions
We supply these flat pack containers in three sizes 2 metre, 3 metre & 4 metre. All the units are 2.1 metres high and 2.1 metres wide. As these units are from the 'Expanda' range they are all completely modular, so additional units can be joined together at any stage, by linking them either side by side or end to end with a simple linking kit.Flat Pack Sizes

Cheap delivery nationwide
We are able to offer low price delivery rates on flat pack products, as they are transported in bulk in a compact form. We also hold them in stock at regional depots across the country, giving you a substantial discount wherever you live. Flat pack containers are typically delivered on a 26 tonne rigid lorry with a hiab crane to offload, and all deliveries are made curb-side. Although flat pack containers are designed to fit into difficult spaces, the vehicle will still need to have good access and sufficient room for the crane to setup and offload. If the delivery vehicle can't get quite where you need it, all components of the container can be carried separately. These units are completely man-portable!
To keep delivery rates competitive and cost effective, flat pack containers are quoted based on a shared delivery rate. This means we are unable to guarantee a specific time. If you need a dedicated delivery, our sales team can advise on the best option for you.
