Buying

If you need it for more than a couple of years, buy

The maths is simple. Hire makes sense for short projects; buying wins once a container is going to be on your site long term. Containers hold their value well, need almost no maintenance, and can be resold or relocated later.

We grade every used unit honestly and photograph the actual container before it leaves the yard, so what turns up is what you agreed to buy.

Grade

A-Grade for appearance, Cargo Worthy for value, Wind & Watertight for plain storage.

Access

Allow roughly three container lengths of clear, firm approach for the delivery truck.

Ground

Firm and level. Gravel, concrete or compacted ground all work; we can supply pads.

FAQ

Buying a container, answered

It depends on size, grade, condition and where it is going. A used 20ft is typically the best value entry point. Send us your location and requirements and we will price it exactly, backed by our Price Beat Guarantee.

Yes. You are welcome to inspect stock at your nearest branch by appointment, and for remote purchases we send photos of the actual unit before dispatch.

Most containers arrive on a tilt-deck or hiab truck and are placed directly where you want them, usually in under an hour. We confirm access and placement with you before booking.

Containers hold value well, and a well-kept unit can usually be resold or traded. Talk to us when the time comes and we will let you know what the market looks like.
