Shipping Container Buyers Guide
New to buying a shipping container? This quick guide walks you through everything you need to know to buy with confidence.
How To Choose The Right Container
Follow these five simple steps and you’ll find the perfect container for your project — at the right price.
Decide new or used
New “one-trip” containers look near-new and last the longest — perfect where appearance matters. Used wind & watertight (WWT) containers are inspected, dry and secure, offering excellent value for general storage.
Plan delivery & site access
We deliver UK-wide by crane and HIAB truck. Make sure there’s clear, level access — as a guide, allow roughly twice the container’s length for the truck to tilt and slide the unit into place. Tell us about any access challenges in advance.
Consider modifications
Need doors, windows, ventilation, shelving, electrical or a full fit-out? We supply container homes & offices, cabins and modified units built to your spec — just ask.
