Containerite’s Used Shipping Containers

We offer a wide range of Used shipping containers in 20- and 40ft sizes.

Having spent a long life in the shipping industry, they come in various conditions ideal for non-sensitive storage.

Exteriors are not repainted, so their aesthetic appeal is of a lower standard than our refurbished option.

Equipment is repaired to wind, water and vermin proof, and door gear is repaired and re-greased.

All stock is subject to Containerite’s Inspection Criteria and Quality Assurance process.

If you have a specific colour preference, we can repaint it for you.
