Who Are We?

We are a high volume container depot, providing new and used shipping containers for sale and hire, direct from the depot. And because you can buy direct we can usually undercut most of the container brokers you find online.

What types of containers can I buy?

Recycle and reclaim is the name of the game these days, even within shipping, so as well as new shipping containers, we also provide refurbished and used storage containers if requested. Whether they’re open topped, refrigerated, dry cargo, high cubes or flat-racks, if you want it, we’ll have it. And we can deliver them nationwide.

What size can I buy

While the usual configurations of shipping containers fall under the 10 ft, 20 ft and 40 ft sizes, we often modify and convert these. Whatever you need. All our used containers have been re-conditioned so they’re fit for storage purposes.

What other options are there?

A shipping container doesn’t have to be an empty space. We regularly customise containers into mobile workshops, toilets, on-site offices, or any other specialist storage units. Chemical stores work particularly well in shipping containers. Our specialist team can add doors, windows, partitions, plumbing, and even electricity if required.

How do you decide on the price of your shipping containers for sale?

Prices go up and down, depending on the import and export trade flows through the Port of Liverpool. The pricing is also dependent on whether your container needs specialist conversion or if we have one ‘off the shelf’.

For buying or hiring shipping containers, new or used, we quote the best possible price based on:

• What the equipment is, its age and its condition
• What we have in the depot at the time of asking
• The global market conditions for containers; and The quantity ordered.

Whatever we quote is direct from the depot, so your money won’t be diverted to any middle men.
