10ft Standard Shipping Containers
When you are looking to purchase or rent a 10ft shipping container, you can choose between a factory original NEW container, or a USED (refurbished) container.
Why choose a 10’ container?
Our 10ft shipping containers are a really practical storage solution. A great option for storage when you are restricted by the amount of space available at your site. They are also a great size self-storage site operators/ owners who are wanting to offer storage units with different storage capacities. Built to the same spec as a standard 20ft unit, but only half the size!
New, factory-built standard 10ft containers are manufactured in China, to ISO standards and then shipped over to the UK. They are however more expensive to buy due to the shipping costs involved in getting them over here.

USED 10 ft shipping containers
Used 10ft shipping containers offer great value for money and are more cost effective to buy in the UK. Created by cutting down a larger container, USED 10ft containers offer the ideal
storage solution. These are known as ‘cut down’ 10ft containers. They will show signs of dents, imperfections and age as they have been used for international shipping for 10 + years.
We completely repaint them in either dark green or dark blue paint, fit a lockbox to them and ensure they are in the best possible condition. We then fit either original ‘cargo’ container doors, or more commonly, ‘flat panel’ doors.

Which option do I go for?
Option 1:
NEW (1 trip) 10ft containers built at the container factory in China. They offer a lifetime of usage as this type of container is brand new. Multiple air vents offer maximum air flow, which helps prevent any condensation build up inside the unit. New, “easy open doors” are great for those using the containers frequently, such as self-storage sites. A lockbox comes fitted
as standard on all our new containers. With new (1 trip) containers, you pay for what you get!
Option 2:
USED (cut down) 10ft container. Choose between flat panel doors and original cargo doors. Both options offer good value for money if you are looking for simple, secure, wind and watertight storage options at your site. If appearance is not of importance to you, let us know and we might be able to supply you with a cheaper container.
*If ordering new containers in bulk, you can choose your own paint colour/ container spec etc. Speak to our team to find out more.
PRIMARY USES
10ft containers are most commonly used at self-storage sites, construction sites, site equipment, gardening centres, for offshore marine activity and for general domestic storage to name a few!
