25ft Shipping Containers - New and Used
25ft shipping containers - not too big, not too small, but always great quality!
They can be used as storage containers, giving you a little bit extra space over the more common 20ft size, without having to upgrade to the much larger 30ft or 40ft, or as the building block to convert into offices, workshops, catering units and much more. The vast majority of new ISO shipping containers are manufactured to standard lengths of 20ft or 40ft, 8ft wide and 8ft6 high. This doesn't leave a lot of choice, so by fabricating unique size containers in our workshops, Containers Direct can offer our customers any length required. 25ft shipping containers are typically made by taking a 40ft container and cutting into two pieces - one 25ft long and one 15ft long shipping container.

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.
