SlimLine® Shipping Containers
Shipping containers make superb storage units, strong, secure and watertight. The one down side of converted shipping containers into storage containers is the restricted sizing available "off the peg". The standard 8ft width of all shipping containers is an ISO regulation, to ensure safe, easy and affordable transportation and stacking of multiple containers. But if you want to buy a container for personal storage use, 8ft wide may not be your first choice.
The good news is that Containers Direct can offer your first choice. Our range of purpose built SlimLine® containers are built to smaller widths, giving you 5ft shipping containers or 6ft storage containers and 7ft containers, perfect for fitting into small, narrow spaces, or for storage loads that require more length than width.
