NEW AND USED SHIPPING CONTAINERS FOR SALE
NEW AND USED CONTAINERS FOR SALE

We offer both new containers for sale and used containers for sale, providing options for all budgets. Our new shipping containers for sale are perfect if you need pristine condition, while our used shipping containers for sale are a cost-effective alternative without compromising on durability or security.

 

WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE CHOOSE OUR 20FT CONTAINER?

TITAN’s 20ft shipping container is just the right size for most needs. As well as being comparatively easy to transport on the back of a truck or trailer, it’s also widely available across our UK depots – meaning fast delivery is possible.

If you want to purchase this roomy 20-footer, the internal dimensions are as follows:

  • Length – 5.90m
  • Width – 2.29m
  • Height – 2.38m

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR COMMERCIAL CLIENTS

Our 20ft shipping containers for sale are well suited to numerous industries, including supermarkets and retailers, agricultural businesses, medicine suppliers, electrical goods manufacturers, and more.

We’re a popular choice across the UK as we offer great deals on delivery rates thanks to our nationwide network of depots.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS

The floor space of a 20ft container is just a little smaller than the average UK living room. But don’t forget that you can stack goods to a height of 2.38m – so you can fit numerous personal belongings inside, such as TVs, furniture, beds, clothes, garden equipment, tools and more.

We have other sizes of shipping containers to buy, though these are not suitable for use on cargo ships. The external dimensions of our smaller options are:

  • 6ft shipping container – 1.98m x 1.95m x 1.91m (length, width, height)
  • 8ft shipping container – 2.44m x 2.20m x 2.26m
  • 9ft shipping container – 2.74m x 2.20m x 2.26m
  • 10ft shipping container – 2.99m x 2.44m x 2.59m

And if you want something bigger, the container of choice for large loads is our 40-footer.

  • 40ft shipping container – 12.19m x 2.44m x 2.59m

Our 40-footer is most commonly used for long-distance international transportation of goods. Smaller models such as 6ft, 8ft, 9ft and 10 foot shipping containers, meanwhile, are great when moving smaller loads domestically.

As well as different-sized models, we have shipping containers to buy in other configurations, too. We offer:

High cube container sales – perfect for large loads as they come with an extra 10% of height.

Insulated container sales – helps to prevent fragile items from freezing.

Open sided container sales – great for wide loads, like support beams or wings.

Tunnel container sales – great for splitting a single container into two units or to serve as an instant ‘tunnel’.

WHY CHOOSE TITAN UK WHEN BUYING A SHIPPING CONTAINER?

More than 35 years of expertise – We have been a major name in the container industry since the late 1980s and now have one of the widest selections of shipping containers to buy across the UK.

Great prices – we’re here to help you purchase a shipping container that meets your exact needs at a great price.

Fantastic customer service – clients rate us highly on Trustpilot, and many remain customers for decades. Our friendly service team is always happy to help.

Large range of accessories – we stock everything from locks to ramps and heaters.

OUR QUEST TO DRIVE DOWN DELIVERY COSTS FOR SHIPPING CONTAINER SALES

To help save you money, we have built up a network of 20+ depots throughout the UK and Ireland.

It helps us to minimise delivery times, which in turn brings down the total cost when you buy a shipping container from us.

All major cities such as London, Belfast, Manchester and Edinburgh are covered, and this wide geographic spread also means we can give you a personal, local service.

New 1-trip Shipping Container For Sale

WHAT IS A 1-TRIP CONTAINER?

As with most container sales businesses, our containers are made in factories overseas. That means if you order a brand new shipping container, it will already have been on a container ship – on its journey to the UK – when it arrives at your workplace or home.

It’s why the word ‘new’ isn’t used all that much in the world of shipping containers. We tend to say 1-trip instead. Your container will have brought cargo into the UK on its inbound journey (it would be a huge waste to import an empty container), and you’ll be the first to actually own it. So ‘new’ equals ‘1-trip’.
