Benefits of 24ft used shipping containers

Versatile

Our in-house depot can modify and convert shipping containers for a variety of different uses.

Portable

Shipping containers benefit from being portable, meaning you can move them when needed.



Customisable

With an extensive range of optional extras to choose from, have your container modified to suit you.



Guarantee

We offer all our shipping containers with a 12 month guarantee for your peace of mind.

Optional Extras

We can also modify used 24ft shipping containers with a range of optional extras to either enhance your storage facility or convert the container into something else, such as a portable office, chemical store or pop up retail unit. 24 ft is roomy enough inside to work out of, but neat enough to fit into spaces too small for a traditional bricks and mortar buildings. And of course metal containers are portable, so they can be relocated when required. Modifications can be as simple as doors in the side, or as ambitious as ply lining on the inside and wood cladding on the outside. We want all our customers to have plenty of choice, so they get the right container that's fit for purposes, regardless of whether it's a full scale conversion or a simple 24 foot container for basic storage.

Lockbox

Repainting

All our 24ft containers come with a steel lockbox, which protects the padlock from tampering (usual retail price £55).
Exterior repaint in our specialist rubberised container paint is recommended on used containers, not only to improve the aesthetic appearance but also to extend the lifespan of the container.

The Build Process

Our 24 foot shipping containers are all built in our in-house fabrication depot. We take a 40ft used shipping container and cut down to 24ft long, before adding new doors and walls from high gauge steel and matching corrugated steel panels. All new pieces are then fully seam welded to give a robust, leak-proof box. Quality is always at the forefront of production, making these the UK's best 24 ft second hand container.

Flat pack option Flat pack containers come in three sizes, each of which can be joined together to give the right sized area of storage space that you require. As they are man portable in flat pack form, they are perfect for areas with difficult access too.
Bespoke sizes As well as cutting containers down to any length, we offer varying width options. Need a unit wider than 8ft? We can make extra wide containers that are custom built to any width. Alternatively we can join up standard width shipping containers to give you space as wide as you like. Or if you need a container narrower than 8ft then check out our SlimLine® range.
