20ft long x 8ft wide x 8ft 6" high - 20-foot containers are one of the 2 industry standard sizes, because of this, they are often the most cost-effective option when looking for a used container. Used 20ft's are amongst the cheapest shipping containers you can buy. We always have extensive stocks, all available for delivery throughout the world (or you can collect from our depots if you prefer). Second-hand 20ft's are our most popular product as they offer superb cost per square ft
20 foot Container Construction

Used 20ft units are manufactured using high-quality cor-ten steel, which is designed to stand up to the harsh rigours of sea conditions. We would expect a properly maintained used container to last you in excess of 15 years from the date of purchase from us. Our second-hand shipping containers are typically 10 15 years old from date of manufacture, the double doors will be fully operational and the door seals fully intact to prevent any water ingress. Flooring is formed from 27mm hardwood.

Each container is usually picked from the depot on a 'next from stack' basis, so the external paint colour of each unit will vary.

If you require your used container for shipping overseas, we can update the details on the CSC plate. Please advise us if this is a requirement when ordering.
Container Security

To improve the security of your unit we can provide your container with a lock-box (a steel box welded on the double doors to enclose a padlock thus making is less tamper proof) and a high-security padlock. We can also paint the unit and provide many other extras.
Your Container Delivery

Unless otherwise specified, we will deliver your box on a HIAB assisted vehicle so that we can lift the unit to ground where you need it - if you are able to offload your container when we deliver it to your location please let our sales team know - this may reduce the delivery cost if we can deliver using a different type of vehicle. Please be sure to provide us with your exact delivery postcode on the enquiry form below, also please let us know if there are any access restrictions at or near your delivery location which could affect the successful delivery of your container.
