Container Sales in Redbridge

We stock a wide range of containers to suit different budgets and requirements. You can choose between "one-trip" new units or cost-effective used containers.

New (One-Trip) Containers: These units are manufactured in Asia and shipped to the UK with a single cargo load. They arrive in excellent condition with only minor handling marks. They come in standard green or blue and feature a factory-fitted lock box for enhanced security. They are ideal for sites where appearance matters.

Used Containers: These units have served in global shipping lines for several years. They will show signs of wear, such as dents and surface rust. However, we inspect every used container to ensure it is wind and watertight. They offer a practical, lower-cost option for dry storage.

Build Quality and Security

Our containers are built to protect goods in harsh marine environments. This robust construction makes them perfect for secure land-based storage.

• Corten Steel: The main structure is built from weathering steel (Corten). This alloy forms a protective layer that resists corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan even in damp British weather.
• Marine Plywood Floors: The floor is made from 27 mm-thick marine plywood, treated to resist rot and pests. It is strong enough to support forklifts and heavy payloads.
• Security Lock Boxes: We fit a steel lock box to the cargo doors of all new containers. This shroud covers your padlock, protecting it from bolt cutters and drills. We can add these to used containers upon request.

Delivery to Redbridge

We deliver containers using Hiab trucks equipped with an onboard crane. The driver lifts the container from the vehicle and places it on your prepared ground. We can lift over fences or low walls if the truck can park parallel to the drop zone.

Access Requirements: The truck is large (approx. 9ft wide). We cannot drive on soft ground, such as grass or soil, because the vehicle weighs over 15 tonnes and will sink. You must provide hard standing, such as concrete or tarmac.

Residential Delivery: If you need a container delivered to a residential street in Redbridge, you must ensure the truck has legal access. We cannot block public roads or pavements without a council permit.
