Buy Shipping Containers in Ealing

Container Sales in Ealing

Buying a shipping container provides a permanent asset for your business or home. We stock a wide range of new and used containers for sale, ready for delivery to W5, W13, and surrounding postcodes. We ensure every unit meets strict quality standards before it leaves our depot.

New (One-Trip) Containers

Our new containers are manufactured in China and shipped to the UK with a single cargo load. This "one-trip" process keeps delivery costs lower while ensuring the unit arrives in near-pristine condition. These units feature factory-fitted lockboxes and high-quality marine-grade paint. They are the best choice for visible locations, such as retail forecourts or school grounds.

Used (Wind and Watertight) Containers

Used containers have spent roughly 10 to 15 years in international logistics. We inspect every unit to ensure it is wind and watertight (WWT). While they exhibit cosmetic wear, such as dents, surface rust, and shipping livery, they remain structurally sound. These units offer a cost-effective solution for industrial estates in Park Royal or secure archives where function outweighs appearance.

Container Dimensions and Types

We supply standard ISO sizes and specialised equipment. Check the specifications to ensure the container fits your available space.

20ft Containers

The 20ft unit is the industry standard. It balances capacity with a manageable footprint, making it popular for residential driveways and small business sites.

Container Hire in Ealing

If you need storage for a limited time, hiring is often more practical than buying. We offer flexible rental terms for customers in Ealing, ideal for house moves, renovation projects, or seasonal stock overflow.

Hire Terms and Benefits

Our hire agreements operate with a minimum term of 8 weeks. This flexibility lets you keep the container as long as you need, without a long-term contract. We calculate delivery and collection costs at the start, so you know the total transport fees upfront.

Hire units are checked to ensure they are clean, dry, and secure. We typically supply these in a neutral colour (often blue or green) with a lockbox included as standard. View our container hire options in Ealing.

Security and Construction Specifications

Shipping containers are designed to protect valuable cargo in harsh conditions. This inherent strength makes them excellent for static storage.

Corten Steel Structure

We build our containers using Corten steel (weathering steel). This material has high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. If the paint is scratched, Corten steel forms a stable oxide layer that prevents rust from penetrating deeper. This ensures your container remains secure and weatherproof for years.

Secure Lockboxes

A lockbox is a steel shroud welded to the cargo doors. It covers the padlock and lug, preventing access to the shackle. This prevents thieves from using bolt cutters or angle grinders to bypass the lock. We recommend using a C-shaped high-security padlock in conjunction with the lockbox.

Flooring and Load Capacity

Standard ISO containers feature 27mm marine plywood flooring. This flooring is treated to resist moisture and pests. It rests on steel cross-members, allowing it to support heavy loads, including forklifts driving inside the container.

HIAB Delivery to Ealing

We deliver containers to Ealing using HIAB trucks. These vehicles have a hydraulic crane mounted behind the cab, allowing us to lift the container and place it beside the truck.

Local Delivery Knowledge

Ealing presents a mix of busy arterial roads (Uxbridge Road) and quieter residential conservation areas. Successful delivery requires preparation:

• Width: The truck needs approximately 10ft (3m) of width to enter your gates or driveway.
• Height: We need clear overhead space. Trees, telephone cables, and building overhangs can obstruct the crane arm.
• Hard Standing: Containers must sit on a hard, level surface, such as concrete or paving. We cannot place containers on grass or soft soil, as they will sink and rack (twist), causing the doors to jam.

If you are located on a Red Route or a busy high street, you may need to arrange a parking suspension. Read our full Delivery Guidelines to prepare your site.
