15ft Shipping Containers - New and Used
We specialise in supplying 15ft shipping containers - the perfect in between size to 10ft and 20ft containers
As these containers are cut down containers, they are no longer restricted by traditional ISO regulations, making them the ideal storage unit. Many of our customers find a 10ft container often gets crammed to the rafters over time, but are reluctant to buy a 20ft container as it takes up too much space. To meet the demand for a size in between, we keep a regular supply of second hand and refurbished 15 foot containers in stock, available at prices that reflect both quality and value, as well as new 15 ft containers. We deliver nationwide to give you the cheapest rates available. We always hold stock in store if you're in a hurry!

Second Hand Containers
Used shipping containers generally have over 10 years of service on shipping lines which results in considerable evidence of use, plenty of surface rust and knocks and dents. Containers Direct specialise in upcycling used shipping containers to give them new lease of life. The manufacturing process for a shipping container is very carbon intensive so the longer useful life we can give them, the better!
Once-Used Containers
New shipping containers, sometimes called once-used containers, are manufactured in factories in China and shipped to the UK with cargo inside. New containers are often the choice for projects where a longer lifespan is required.
The Build Process
15 foot containers with S2 doors can be delivered direct from our depots across the UK. This means our customers get the quickest and cheapest delivery rates from strategic locations to cover all areas including: London, Southampton, Glasgow, Birmingham, Newport, Manchester and Felixstowe.Built by us - new doors and cut downs
Containers requiring work before delivery are dispatched from our own fabrication depot. Work includes any optional extras or fitting new doors from our range, which involves the cutting down process. For example 40ft shipping containers cut down into two 15 ft long sections are completed using high gauge steel formed into corrugated metal panels which are fully seam welded on to create two new containers. For customers needing something smaller, the same process also yields a 10ft shipping containers for sale.Our production methods are second to none! Learn more about how cut down containers are made.
