New vs. Used 40ft Containers: Making the Right Choice

We offer both new (one-trip) and used 40ft shipping containers. New containers have typically made one journey from their manufacturing origin, offering pristine condition and maximum lifespan. They are ideal for projects requiring the highest aesthetic standards or long-term, critical storage. Used containers provide a more budget-friendly option while still being wind and waterproof and structurally sound. They are perfect for standard storage needs where appearance is less critical. Our team assists you in evaluating your budget, intended use, and required lifespan to determine the most suitable option.

Modifying Your 40ft Container

Beyond standard storage, 40ft containers offer excellent potential for modification. We can facilitate various modifications to meet specific project requirements. Common modifications include installing personnel doors, windows, insulation, electrical fit-outs, and custom paintwork. These modifications transform a standard container into a functional office, workshop, changing room, or specialised storage unit. Discuss your modification ideas with our team to explore the possibilities and obtain a tailored solution.
