Can I buy both new and used 20ft containers?
Yes, Acorn Containers offers both new (one-trip) and used 20ft shipping containers. New containers are typically in excellent condition, having made only one journey from the manufacturing location. Used containers offer a more cost-effective option for storage and can still be wind and watertight.
How are 20ft containers delivered in Lincolnshire?
We offer efficient local delivery options throughout Lincolnshire. This often includes HIAB crane-assisted vehicles, which can lift the container off the lorry and position it on your site, provided there is suitable access and ground conditions. We assess delivery requirements on a case-by-case basis.
What is the internal volume of a 20ft container?
A standard 20ft dry cargo container offers an internal volume of approximately 33 cubic meters (1,165 cubic feet). This provides substantial space for storing or transporting goods.
Are 20ft containers secure for storing valuable items?
Yes, shipping containers are inherently robust and designed for security. They are constructed from strong steel and fitted with sturdy doors. For enhanced security, we recommend adding a high-security padlock and potentially a lock box.

Even a used shipping container, when properly maintained, can offer many years of service for storage purposes, often 10-20 years or more depending on its initial condition and usage. Containers used for shipping have a certified lifespan, but for static storage, their utility extends far beyond that.
