Below are some of the great reasons why choosing a Corten Shipping Container should be your only choice...

We really look forward to hearing from you soon.

A high percentage of our customers buy a shipping container for use as secure storage. A lot of these customers do not need their shipping container for more than a few years

Corten Containers will offer to buy your shipping container back from you anytime within a 5 year period for £500 - £1000 depending on the type, size and age of the shipping container you have purchased. We will even come and collect the container free of charge if you give us at least 1 months notice.

This can save you hundreds of pounds in rental fees and take the worry of having to move or sell on your storage container once you have finished with it. There are basic terms and conditions regarding the buy back scheme which are submitted with your written quotation.

It goes without saying that you would expect your shipping container to be 100% wind and water tight when it is delivered. If you are buying a used shipping container or a brand new shipping container from us we guarantee it will be wind and water tight.

We never send a shipping container to a customer without it being checked in our yard first. This is obviously essential if you are using your container for secure storage of anything that can be damaged by the elements.

Our shipping containers are strategically positioned so that we can deliver to any location in the UK. This makes our haulage charges very competitive keeping your costs to a minimum. You can see where our shipping containers and storage containers are located by viewing the Depot Locations page.

Most people and businesses do not have the facility to lift a shipping container and position it exactly where you need it to be. This is why we deliver using HIAB vehicles (a lorry with a crane) which can offload and position your container perfectly for you.

You may find it suprising that shipping containers are often very easy to deliver and position. There are a few questions you can ask yourself before deciding on a site for your container or portable office:

Is there sufficient access for a large vehicle to offload?

Are there overhead obstacles such as trees and pylons that could potentially get
in the way?

Will the driver have to leave hard standing ground?

Does the shipping container or portable office have to clear a wall, gate, fence or
hedge? How tall or high are these?

This information can help us establish the best way to get your container into position. If you have any questions please call, email or send a call back request and one of our experienced advisors will be happy to help you.

Shipping containers come in many different sizes and can be modified to your specific requirements. If we do not have the particular container in stock we will be able to order one for you which will only add an extra few days onto our lead time. The following is a list of stock that is readily available nationwide:

These can all be purchased new or used. If you are looking for something that is not listed above please call us and we will be able to organise this for you.

Shipping containers are in fact ideal for use as secure storage units. They are made from high tensile rust inhibiting Cor-Ten Steel which is obviously very durable and extremely strong as their primary function is moving all manner of items around the world at sea. If looked after a used shipping container purchased can stay 100% wind and water tight for more than a lifetime.

Each container has a 4 bar locking system on the front doors with hasps that are the ideal size for block padlocks. For insurance purposes we would recommend using added security measures which can all be found on our security and accessories page on this site. There we go into more detail about these security accessories and concentrate on the top sellers, the lock box, the bulldog container lock and the block lock.

Our helpful sales professionals will discuss your requirements and offer you the best security solutions on the market at highly competitive prices.

We know that shipping containers are great for secure storage but they can also be converted into working portable offices, portable canteens, catering units, changing rooms… The list is endless. We have qualified engineers on site nationwide who specialise in these modifications and carry out work to the highest standards.

Depending on the size of the project our lead time for completion can be as little as 10 working days, delivered to your desired location. Once the internal work is completed the modified building can then be sprayed a colour of your choice and even have you company logo added which is a fantastic finishing touch.

You can find more information about these construction site offices or portable buildings in our Modify your shipping container section of the website.
