If you are looking for shipping containers for sale in Kent, the good news is we have recently added Tilbury, Essex to our list of supplier depots, from which we can easily supply Kent using local hauliers. There is always a surplus of 20ft shipping containers and 40ft shipping containerss arriving at our ports in the UK, because after use shipping companies find it more economical to leave them there for resale, as opposed to sending them back where they came from. This is how Containers Direct finds the best value shipping containers for sale in Kent. Our local hauliers in the area can deliver across Kent, including to Ashford, Maidenhead, Tonbridge, Folkestone and Canterbury.
We can supply a container of any size!
Because not every customer either wants or needs a 20ft or 40ft container, we hold a number of cut down shipping containers in sizes from 8ft upward, and any odd size in between standard manufactured sizes, specifically adapted in our Liverpool depot with amazing delivery rates to Kent. So whether it's a 15ft shipping container or a 30ft shipping container you need, or anything else, we can provide this by adapting our existing stock of shipping containers. For more information, read our article on cut down containers.
We source containers for export and for dry land storage
Some of these containers are bought by our customers to be used again for shipping, but many will be bought for use as a storage container. Used shipping containers are ideal for storage as they possess the qualities of strength and security. If you require the container for shipping it is vital to check it still conforms to ISO standards - a CSC plate certifies this. If you require the container for storage it should still be in reasonable condition and not have any holes - watertightness is an essential requirement for storage! To ensure high standards are maintained, all our shipping containers for sale in Kent are inspected by us before being dispatched and accurate product descriptions and photos are sent to our customers before payment.
Using our conversion facilities
We are fortunate to have our own conversion and new-build facilities on site in our main depot in Liverpool, which means we can supply converted shipping containers in Kent based on our customers own specifications. Containers can be constructed or adapted for a multiple uses including pop-up catering units, exhibition stands and chemical stores. Check out our Container Conversions page for more ideas.
Case Study of the Month
March 2025CS54207 - 20ft cladded garden room
It's hard to believe this building started out as a used 20ft shipping container! With a smart set of patio style doors, lined with wood on the inside and clad on the outside, it's not only a handsome devil but cosy to hang out in. The trend of having a back garden "hang out" is increasingly popular and can be used for anything you like, including leisure and work space, a gym, yoga studio or social space - add a bar and you will never be more popular! This building is divided into two sections, a small area for outdoor storage and larger area for social and leisure activities.
