Small Shipping Containers
Need storage space but haven't got the space for a full size container?
From new shipping containers to cut downs and flat pack containers, Containers Direct provide a range of small shipping containers to buy that suit every requirement.
We even have narrow shipping containers for sale, designed to fit those awkward areas of dead space. Read on to find out which type of small shipping container is the right one for you. All our small shipping containers are dispatched directly from one of our 15 supplier depots, located across the country. This means we can offer our customers the best delivery prices available to their area - from Southampton to Leeds, Wales and Scotland, we have it all covered!
Containers cut to any length
These are made from larger standard size ISO containers, the 20ft shipping container and the 40ft shipping container. We can cut down to any required size between 5ft and 40ft. The containers retain a standard of width of 8ft. Once the container has been cut down, we use 16mm gauge corrugated steel to form a new end wall, and then offer our clients a choice of doors. We can retain the original doors, but our flat panel doors designed for easier use are also popular on storage containers. All work carried out is fully seam welded to ensure the container remains watertight.
