Shipping Containers for Sale (242)

Container size is measured in feet and refers to the external length. 8ft and 10ft containers suit small storage needs and tight sites where space is limited. 20ft containers are the most common size, used for general site storage, freight and conversions. 40ft containers offer the most internal space, suited to larger storage volumes, workshops and multi-purpose site facilities. Pick the size that fits your storage volume and your site footprint.

New (or one-trip) containers have made a single shipping journey and are in near-new condition with minimal wear. Used containers have been in service longer and may have surface rust, dents and weathering, though they're still structurally sound and weatherproof. Used containers cost less and are often suitable for site storage and conversions, while new containers are typically chosen where appearance matters or for specific applications like refrigeration.
