Delivery Options for Your 20ft Container in Worthing

Acorn Containers facilitates the efficient and secure delivery of your 20ft container directly to your specified location in Worthing. We employ specialised delivery methods to ensure safe placement:

  1. Hiab Crane Delivery: Utilises a truck equipped with a crane, allowing the driver to lift the container off the vehicle and position it precisely onto the ground. This method requires sufficient clear space for the vehicle and crane operation. Learn more about our Hiab delivery options in Worthing.
  2. Flatbed Trailer Delivery: Involves transporting the container on a flatbed truck. You will need lifting equipment (such as a forklift or crane) on-site to unload the container. This method is suitable if you have the necessary machinery available.
  3. Tilt and Slide Delivery: The truck bed tilts, allowing the container to slide off. This requires a significant amount of straight, level ground for the container to slide onto.

Choosing the correct delivery method depends on your site's accessibility, available space, and on-site lifting capabilities. Our logistics team advises on the most suitable option for your Worthing location during the ordering process.

New vs. Used 20ft Containers: Making the Right Choice

Acorn Containers offers both new (often referred to as 'one-trip') and used 20ft containers, providing options to suit different budgets and requirements:

  • New (One-Trip) Containers: These containers have typically made one journey from the manufacturing origin with cargo. They appear in excellent condition, with minimal wear and tear, and are ideal when appearance and longevity are primary concerns. They offer maximum lifespan and are CSC plated for international transport.
  • Used Containers: These containers have been in service for a longer period, primarily within shipping fleets. They exhibit signs of previous use (dents, surface rust) but remain structurally sound and watertight ('cargo worthy'). Used containers represent a more economical option and are suitable for static storage or modification projects.

Both new and used containers undergo rigorous inspection to ensure they meet our quality standards. Our team guides you through the pros and cons of each option based on your intended use and budget.

Modifying Your 20ft Shipping Container

20ft shipping containers serve as excellent platforms for modification, allowing businesses to customise them for specific functions. Common modifications include:

  • Installing personnel doors and windows for accessibility and natural light.
  • Adding ventilation systems for improved air circulation.
  • Fitting insulation and internal lining for temperature control and a finished interior.
  • Installing electrical points and lighting for power and illumination.
  • Creating custom shelving or racking for organised storage.
  • Cutting and reinforcing openings for specialised equipment access.
  • Applying exterior painting in corporate colours for branding or aesthetics.
  • Fitting roller shutter doors for wider access points.

Acorn Containers provides advice on potential modifications to transform a standard 20ft unit into a bespoke solution tailored to your business needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About 20ft Shipping Containers

How long do 20ft shipping containers last?

With proper maintenance, a new 20ft container can last 20-30 years for static storage. Used containers typically have a remaining lifespan of 10-15 years or more, depending on their condition and intended use.

Are 20ft containers waterproof?

Yes, shipping containers are built to be watertight and weatherproof to protect cargo during sea transport. Both new and 'cargo worthy' used containers maintain this capability.

What is the difference between new and used 20ft containers?

New (one-trip) containers have minimal use and appear in excellent condition. Used containers show signs of wear but are certified as structurally sound and watertight. New containers cost more but offer longer lifespan and better aesthetics.

Do I need planning permission for a 20ft container?

Planning permission requirements vary depending on your location and the intended use. Generally, temporary placement for storage on private land may not require permission, but permanent or commercial use often does. Always check with your local council in Worthing or relevant authority.

How much space is needed for delivery?

Delivery space requirements depend on the delivery method. Hiab delivery needs significant overhead clearance and a straight line for the crane swing. Tilt and slide delivery needs a long, level surface for the container to slide onto. Our team advises on specific space requirements based on your site and chosen method.
