New shipping containers

Our new shipping containers for sale are manufactured using high quality Corten steel which is corrosion resistant and painted using a high quality shipping approved paint, designed to stand up to the most extreme rigours of sea conditions. Our new build shipping containers have a life-span under normal European weather conditions of at least 30 years.

  • Store goods securely and safe from adverse weather conditions
  • Moisture treatments available to prevent condensation and corrosion of goods
  • New and used shipping containers available in a variety of sizes and colours
  • All our new shipping containers are imported and sold with all HMRC duties fully paid

Used shipping containers

Painting and servicing can prolong the life of a used shipping container. Like everything, if you periodically service your shipping container by checking door seals, inspecting moving parts and retouching areas of corrosion, it will last for many years.
