Whether you require a container for shipping, temporary storage, extra premises or accommodation, we can meet your needs. 

Container Buy Back

We offer a buy back service for redundant containers located in the UK, and we can collect from anywhere in the country. 

We buy containers of any size or construction, even old refrigerated containers or insulated port hole type reefers.

Unlike some traders, we do not offer fixed prices for containers. Instead, we have the industry experience to offer you a fair market price based on the container’s condition, age and location. In many cases this means you will get more for your container than you would have done with a fixed price offer.

Temperature Controlled Containers

Our secure, well-insulated temperature controlled containers are equipped with sophisticated heat exchanger units. Commonly known as "Reefers", these containers do much more than simply refrigerate their contents. The heat exchangers remove or introduce heat as necessary to maintain the designated atmospheric temperature inside the container, ensuring that the contents constantly remain at their ideal storage temperature.

Our temperature controlled containers are low noise, environmentally friendly and highly efficient, using up to 30% less power than standard marine temperature controlled containers. These units are equipped with a lockable butcher's door with an internal emergency release. Humidity control and remote PC monitoring options are available

Humidity Controlled Containers

If you have high value or irreplaceable items that require secure, on-site storage in a protected atmosphere, our humidity controlled containers are the solution. They are perfect for the storage and preservation of antique furniture or clothing, books, historical records, paintings, carpets, fine wines or film stock. 

The relative humidity in these containers can be controlled by the reduction or addition of moisture. Available in sizes up to 50ft x 24 ft, these environmentally friendly containers are equipped with emergency lighting, an internal door release mechanism and outer doors for additional security. 

Temperature control and remote content monitoring are available options. 

Office Containers

Our secure steel storage containers are ideal for being converted into spare office space. These are builders' quality used containers which are dry, clean, odour-free, and wind and watertight. 

They can be fitted with internal wall, floor and ceiling coverings and kitted out with electrics, heating and even literally the kitchen sink with a water boiler for tea. Holes for windows can be cut into the walls, and the cut panels can then form lockable, very secure shutters. Optional high security padlocks are available, as are locking shrouds. 

Our 20-ft and 30-ft containers are popular sizes for office conversion, although we have units ranging from 10ft to 40ft or larger.
