Used Shipping Containers For Sale
Used shipping containers are a practical solution for many sectors, including retail, education, restaurants, agriculture, construction, cafes and more. We meticulously inspect our containers to ensure they’re windproof and watertight. This way, even though they’ve been used, the containers remain durable and versatile for different applications. Available in different sizes, used containers are excellent for construction sites, commercial premises, project-based storage and more.
One of the key advantages of buying a used shipping container is that they are cost-effective yet secure. So if you’re operating on a budget, you can still have access to robust storage solutions available in a wide range of sizes.
The Benefits of Used Shipping Containers
Built from durable steel and designed to withstand demanding environments, used containers offer dependable protection for tools, equipment and stock. So, if you’re looking for a secure storage unit or container you can convert, without the higher cost of a brand new unit, our expert team can supply you with the ideal used container to suit your project.
Choosing to buy a used container is also an environmentally responsible option. By re-purposing existing containers, you can do your part to contribute to greener practices, while still benefiting from a reliable and secure unit.
New Shipping Containers For Sale
We have an outstanding range of new shipping containers for sale, excellent for a variety of different uses. They can be used as a site office that can be quickly assembled for construction projects, temporary work spaces or onsite operations where practical facilities are required. Their versatility also means they can be converted into retail pop-ups, offering an adaptable structure that can be customised to suit your needs. Best of all, every new container comes with guaranteed quality assurance, with strict inspections carried out to ensure your container meets high standards of durability, safety and reliability.
New shipping containers always undergo one trip to transport cargo from the manufacturer to their destination. As a result of their limited use, one-trip containers offer maximum durability, with only minimal wear and an almost new appearance. This makes them an ideal solution for long-term use.
The Benefits of New Shipping Containers
There are many advantages to choosing a new shipping container, starting with guaranteed structural integrity and long term reliability. Because the container is new and has only completed a single shipping journey, it has not been exposed to the level of wear and tear as older units have. This ensures that you receive a storage solution in excellent condition from the outset.
New containers also require very little maintenance, making them a convenient choice if you require a dependable storage solution without ongoing upkeep. Their clean condition and durability also make them ideal for conversions such as offices, retail units or secure work spaces. Since they’re new and in better condition, they have a stronger resale value should you decide it served its purpose.

How are containers delivered?
Containers are delivered using crane-mounted lorries operated by our experienced team. This allows the container to be safely lifted and positioned on site, ensuring a smooth delivery process.
-
Do I need permission to put a container on my land?
Containers and modified units are generally viewed as temporary structures, not requiring permission to be placed on private land, however we always recommend contacting your local planning authority if in doubt.
-
How much does it cost to buy a shipping container in the UK?
The cost of buying a shipping container varies depending on the size, configuration and customisation required.
-
What is the lifespan of a shipping container?
Shipping containers are purposely built with robust durability in mind. They typically endure over 10 years of shipping cargo back and forth, but last much longer as a stationary solution that is maintained well, often over 25 years.
-
What are the risks to buying a shipping container?
The main risk when purchasing a shipping container is buying from a non-reputable supplier. Containers that seem too cheap are always priced this way for a reason, often resulting in leaks, structural instability and deep rust. Make sure you buy a container from an experienced and trusted supplier.
-
What should I know before buying a shipping container?
Our main advice would be to ensure you’re getting the most durable solution. Shipping containers are mostly made of Corten steel which is a strong and robust metal that keeps containers in good condition throughout their lifespan. THS supplies only Corten steel containers, however other suppliers may offer alternative materials which are prone to damage quicker.
