New shipping containers in Manchester
Our range of new shipping containers is ideal for customers requiring top-quality units for the transportation of goods or for bespoke modification projects. Each container is constructed from high-quality Corten steel and built to ISO shipping standards, ensuring durability and security for your goods.
Our containers are available in various sizes and configurations to match any requirement:
- New 10ft Shipping Containers – Compact and ideal for tight spaces or smaller storage needs, offering a practical solution for those requiring efficient storage in limited areas.
- New 20ft Shipping Containers – Providing versatility in storage, transport, and modifications, they are the most popular choice for a wide range of applications including construction sites, retail storage, and customised projects.
- New 40ft Shipping Containers – Excellent for large storage needs, extensive modifications, or high-volume shipping demands.
For those with specific space requirements, we also offer containers in unique sizes that differ from the standard options:
- New 8ft Shipping Containers – Ideal for those with minimal space or smaller-scale storage requirements.
- New 9ft Shipping Containers – Offering a bit more room than the 8-foot model, these are perfect for sites with slight spatial constraints but requiring more capacity than the smallest size.
- New 30ft Shipping Containers – A mid-sized option that provides ample space for storage or customisation, ideal for medium-scale storage or specialised modifications.
- New 45ft Shipping Containers – Our largest option provides maximum space for extensive modifications, large-scale projects, or significant shipping requirements.
