Used Shipping Container FAQs

What are used shipping containers?

Used shipping containers are second-hand containers that have been previously used for storage or transportation. Made of steel and designed to be weather-resistant, strong, and resilient, they are a high-quality option if you’re looking for a shipping container solution on a budget.

Can used shipping containers be converted or customised?

Absolutely! Our second-hand shipping containers are just as customisable as our new units. Using our wide range of shipping container accessories, you can convert a second-hand unit for a variety of applications, such as office space, retail space, or storage units. Consider adding doors or windows to improve the atmosphere and accessibility, insulation and lining to make it a more comfortable temperature, and lighting and electrical fittings to improve usability. You can also add shelving to create easy and accessible storage within your unit.

Can I rent a used shipping container?

Yes, we offer rental on 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft used shipping containers. Get in touch for a free quote on second-hand shipping container rental.
