Specialist and bespoke container fabrications
Manufacturing and Fabricating Custom Built Containers - All Under One Roof.
Containers Direct are one of the few manufacturers of new build containers in the UK. In addition to our standard brands, the WideLine, the SlimLine and the CarTainer, we also build specialist containers for a wide range of uses, from plant rooms to switch gear enclosures to pizza restaurants! We are proud to have worked with many of the UK's leading companies and institutions, manufacturing to agreed specifications and meeting critical deadlines.
Our success is based on a strong in-house team. You will have your own dedicated Sales Advisor who heads up a team made up of CAD technicians and experienced tradesman all based in our factory in the North West. We believe that fabrication projects have better outcomes when the process is managed and fabricated in-house and at one location.

Standard New Build Container Products
Containers Direct specialise in building brand new containers. New shipping containers are made to conform to standard sizes, meaning they are exclusively 8ft wide with a maximum height of 9ft 6in. So if you are looking for a container which falls outside of these parameters, perhaps 10ft wide or 5ft wide, then building from scratch is the best solution. Typically our new build containers can be manufactured to any width between 5ft and 14ft. For wider spaces we can provide joined up containers cleverly designed to easily link together to create larger spaces.
