Container Sales

Refrigerated containers, or reefers, are used to store goods that need to be kept at a specific temperature. To work properly, they need a reliable power source, sufficient airflow space, proper drainage, regular monitoring, and easy access for maintenance.

These containers are useful for storing food, event supplies, pharmaceuticals, and temperature-sensitive products, as well as for industrial applications where regular dry storage is not suitable. Whether a reefer is suitable depends on the type of goods, the needed temperature range, available power, how items are loaded, cleaning routines, and monitoring needs.

Flat rack containers are used for cargo that does not fit inside a standard enclosed container. They can suit large machinery, vehicles, steel structures, plant, awkward cargo, and items that require side or overhead loading.

Flat racks are specialist cargo equipment rather than general secure storage units. Cargo securing, weight distribution, lifting points, route checks, carrier acceptance, and insurance should be planned before use.

Choose a flat rack when the cargo is too wide, heavy, or awkward for a standard dry container or open top container. For enclosed storage, a standard dry, side opening, or modified container may be more suitable.

Side-opening containers let you access the full length of the unit from the side. They work well for palletised goods, event equipment, retail stock, machinery parts, long materials, or any situation where you need to reach items along the container’s length often.

These containers need to sit on a level base, since the side doors can become hard to open if the frame twists. Make sure there is enough space for the doors to open, plan for secure loading, and regularly check the hinges, seals, locking bars, and door alignment to keep everything working smoothly.

Condition affects appearance, service life, maintenance, price drivers, and suitability for modifications or export use. A one-trip container is a new or near-new unit that has usually carried cargo once before being sold or hired in the UK.

One-trip units are often chosen for visible sites, long-term ownership, self-storage yards, offices, workshops, retail, schools, and higher-finish conversions. They may still have small handling marks, scuffs, or forklift marks.

IICL and CSC-plated Cargo-worthy containers may be needed where the unit will move with cargo. A storage-grade container should not be assumed suitable for international transport.

Used wind and watertight containers can be suitable for practical storage where appearance is less important. They may show dents, surface rust, old decals, repairs, and floor wear, but should keep out normal wind and rain when the roof, walls, doors, and seals are serviceable.
