ISO Containers in London
ISO containers, otherwise known as shipping containers, are manufactured for the purpose of exporting cargo overseas, but are also commonly used as dry land storage containers. As they are built to withstand the rigours of sea journeys, including loading and unloading on deck by cranes, they are exceptionally strong, waterproof and resistant to corrosion - which is why they have become popular for use as a strong and secure storage unit.

We hold constant supplies of ISO containers in London, ready for immediate delivery with the best rates possible to our customers based in the South East. If you are purchasing your container for export, it is essential to make the following checks to avoid costly mistakes: - Does the container hold a valid and current CSC plate? This certifies that it meets the required standards for safe export
- Has it been modified or altered in any way? If it has been cut down from its original size, or alterations have been made to the doors (very common in containers used for storage), this will invalidate the CSC plate. Modified shipping containers are great for storage but redundant for shipping!
