Standard 20ft and 40ft shipping containers
If you are searching for shipping containers in Sheffield for overseas transportation you will need an ISO container that is certified (known in the trade as a CSC Plate) as up to standard for safe handling and transportation by road, rail and sea. Containers Direct sell these in 20ft and 40ft lengths, and we always make it clear to customers whether the container being sold is suitable for shipping. Standard sized shipping containers are also the best value for money when buying them for storage. They wil give you long lasting, secure storage space.
Choosing a shipping container for storage
For shipping containers in Sheffield exclusively for storage use, we have a variety of new and used shipping containers to suit all budgets. As these containers are not going to be used for shipping they no longer require a CSC plating, and therefore many of these have been modified with storage used in mind. A wide range of sizes are available, from 8ft to 40ft and everything in between. Odd sizes, like this 16ft shipping container, are made by taking larger containers and cutting them up to make new units of varying dimensions. New doors are often added to complete these units, which many customers find more convenient to use on storage containers. For more information on cut up containers and door types read our article on 15ft used shipping containers.
