Why Buy Shipping Container Legs From Universal Containers

With over 40 years of experience supplying shipping containers and accessories, we offer dependable products backed by expert advice and nationwide delivery. We stock a full range of ConFoot container legs and lifting systems, so you can match the leg to your container size, load, and ground conditions rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all fix.

Built to last

Made from heavy-duty materials, our container legs are built to handle constant loading, changing weather, and rough site conditions without corroding or losing strength.

Compatible with a range of containers

Our ConFoot legs fit onto standard container corner castings, making them suitable for a wide range of container sizes and types, from 8ft units to 40ft high cubes and more.

Safe & secure

Every ConFoot leg is designed to keep a container stable and level once fitted, reducing movement, stress on the container frame, and the risk of an uneven or unsafe base.

Quick to fit

No welding, drilling, or specialist tools needed. Our container legs fit straight onto the corner castings, so you can level or lift a container in a fraction of the time a concrete base would take.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are shipping container legs?

Shipping container legs are used to support, lift or position shipping containers during delivery, storage and loading operations. Depending on the type of container legs, they can support a container after a trailer has been removed, create a temporary loading bay or lift a container for easier handling.

What types of shipping container legs are available?

There are several types of shipping container legs designed for different uses, including container support legs, loading bay legs, framed container legs and container lifting systems. The right option depends on how you’ll be using your shipping container.

Are shipping container legs adjustable?

Many shipping container legs are adjustable, allowing containers to be levelled on uneven ground and providing a more stable base during use.

Are shipping container legs compatible with all containers?

Our shipping container legs are designed to fit standard ISO corner castings, making them compatible with a wide range of shipping containers, including 8ft, 10ft, 20ft, 30ft, 40ft containers, and custom sizes. Always check the product specifications before purchasing.

What’s the difference between container support legs and container lifting legs?

Container support legs are designed to hold a shipping container securely once it has been delivered or removed from a trailer. Container lifting legs are designed to raise the container, making loading, unloading or repositioning easier. Some systems combine both functions, depending on the model.

What weight can ConFoot container legs support?

Our CF, CFP and CFL legs are designed for standard shipping containers, while our CFU lifting systems are rated at 20, 30 and 45 tonnes for heavier loads, including fully loaded containers and tank containers.

Can I fit container legs myself?

Yes. ConFoot legs fit onto the container’s existing corner castings without welding or drilling, so most customers can fit them without specialist tools or a groundworks team.

  Scarcroft and District Allotments Association in York have used two containers from Universal - one 20' unmodified new container as a store and one 40' new container insulated and supplied with electrics package and two secure windows and a secure accessible door as a shop- to replace their 50+ year-old wooden hut used as a shop and association base.  Shaun McWilliams (project engineer) has been our main contact at Universal with oversight and support from Carl Jeffries (project manager).  They have been hugely supportive through a long process.  Nothing has been too much trouble for Shaun, adapting plans and offering choices at every stage - always friendly, imaginative and flexible.  We'd recommend Universal without reservation for any project involving shipping containers.
