By offering these different options, we can match different budgets and needs, meaning you can find a used shipping container that aligns with your specific project and finances.

Higher-grade used 20ft containers

The 20ft higher-grade used containers we stock show minimal signs of wear. This makes them easy to modify for conversion projects such as retail spaces or offices, and ensures they provide the highest levels of security and protection.

Lower-grade used 20ft containers

If your budget is tighter, our lower-grade units are a cost-effective alternative. Although they display more visible signs of wear, they still offer safety and security for your belongings, and can be adapted for other uses.

Benefits of buying a used 20ft shipping container

Buying a used 20ft shipping container rather than a new container will save you money whilst still offering the high levels of durability and security you need – regardless of what you’re using it for.

Flexible and convenient

Our 20ft shipping containers have ample storage space, but are still compact enough to fit in many gardens, yards, building sites and commercial areas. This gives you the flexibility to either store or transport property, or use it for your next conversion project.

Cost-effective and sustainable
