The Standard Sizes

We offer the standard ISO 20ft and 40ft shipping containers at competitive rates for purchase, with low cost delivery rates to the local area. We offer both used and once-used containers capable of storage and shipping.

A whole range of sizes to choose from!

We can supply containers to Birmingham ranging from as small as 5ft in length to up to 45ft. The standard width of a shipping container is 8ft but we often have wider equipment available with an internal width of 8ft - these are called pallet wides. Or for additional height over the standard 8' 6" measurement, high cube containers are a whole foot taller. We also use our workshops in Liverpool to cut containers to specific sizes which are otherwise unavailable from new, so whatever size you require, you can ask us.

Using our conversion facilities

We are lucky to have our own conversion and new-build facilities on site in our main depot in Liverpool, which means we can supply shipping containers in Birmingham to our customers own specifications. Containers can be constructed or adapted for a multiple uses including pop-up catering units, exhibition stands and offices. Check out our Container Conversions page for more ideas.

Case study of the month

December 2025

16ft x 10ft packaged plant room - CS98937

This bespoke new build unit was designed as a packaged plant room for Welborn Hall School in North Yorkshire, a county council maintained special school. The beautiful building that's now home to the school dates back to the 17th century and is set in 14 acres of landscaped gardens. As a Grade 11 listed building any alterations require consent to maintain the historical and architectural value. In this context the replacement to the building's existing systems to provide light, power, hot water and heating to the building is best served by an external, plant room in the school grounds.

"The product (flat pack container 4m) is excellent. I already have one that I bought 18 months ago which has been secure and kept everything stored in great condition. I needed another storage container so came straight back to you. The lead time was even quicker than the previous time which was great. The delivery was slightly tricky but the driver (Steve) was cheerful and helpful and managed the job safely , even in the pouring rain at the time. Overall, great product and delivery and very satisfied." Michael Spencer
