Used 8ft Shipping Containers
< Back to Popular Containers
Looking for great value, strong storage containers? Containers Direct specialise in providing our clients with bespoke sizes, including 8ft used shipping containers. Standard size metal shipping containers are either 20ft containers or 40ft long, so in order to produce any other length, we cut these larger boxes down to size. Our in-house production facilities mean that we can readily accommodate any request for lengths between 5ft and 39ft. 10ft containers, 15ft containers and 25ft containers are particularly popular choices but if you only have space for a 24ft or a 16ft we are able to provide any length you need. Because we don't have to contract our work out, we can offer these containers at a competitive price you'll like. We make weekly delivery runs to all parts of the UK ensuring cheap delivery prices and quick lead times. We always hold stock in store if you're in a hurry! Why not start by looking at our unique choice of four door types, each designed for the different needs of our customers.
8ft used shipping containers can be refurbished, along with all other sizes of cut down containers for sale, with a wide range of optional extras both inside and out such as doors in the side, ply lining, cladding, a simple free repaint to your own choice of colour up to spectacular high end conversions. When you buy an 8ft used shipping container from us, we can guarantee the highest quality of workmanship combined with the superior strength and security that comes with a steel ISO container.

The Build Process
Containers Direct build all 8 foot containers in their in-house fabrication depot and deliver nationwide using a network of hauliers. Fabrication of our 8ft units involves taking 40ft used containers and cutting them down to size. We complete our cut down containers using corrugated high gauge steel. All component parts are then fully seam welded together to create 8ft storage containers! Our dedication to quality is why our 8ft containers are unrivalled in the container industry. What's more, you get a whole year's warranty included in the cost to assure you your container is watertight and of the highest quality you can expect from a used container, although we can work with both second hand and new containers, depending upon your budget.
