Need a container for export?

If you require a container for shipping, Containers Direct can assist you in navigating the often confusing difference between containers for shipping and containers for storage. Most storage containers for sale at Containers Direct are shipping containers, as we believe they are unrivalled in strength and quality and therefore make the most durable storage containers you can buy. But if you are looking to use a shipping container for its original purpose of shipping, it essential you choose one that still conforms to ISO regulations for seaworthiness. Check the container holds a valid CSC plate which confirms this and allows it on board as container cargo.

Nearly new or quality used

We hold a plentiful supply of these 20ft nearly new containers, ideal for shipping, at all our suppliers depots across the UK, including Portsmouth. Nearly new containers have only made one trip to transport to UK ports, sometimes known as "one-trip containers".

40ft Pizza Express Pod - CS99053

The first of its kind, Containers Direct are excited to be at the forefront of the Pizza Express Pod project that aims to roll out 1,000 new pizzerias globally by 2030. Designed to cook and serve pizza in the car park at Tesco Express in Southampton, the "grab and go" pizza pod is based on our MenuBox® design - an open kitchen housed in a shipping container, fitted with a collection window. With another two pods that have since opened in Swansea and Waltham Cross, we're looking forward to continuing to supply more shipping containers to bring the UK proper pizza on the go.
