10ft Shipping Containers (Refurbished)

Product Description

These refurbished 10ft shipping containers are one of our most popular refurbished options. The examples shown are ones we have previously supplied from our London depots. These 10ft shipping containers all come wind and watertight guaranteed, freshly repainted and are ideal for extra storage space!

Individual specs (and prices) vary slightly between depots in the UK. You may see a slight difference in hinge design on our example pictures. Each depot will use their own hinge design, fabrication techniques and/or offer very slight differences in the thickness of the steel used. Refurbished shipping containers are typically 10-15 working days from point of order to delivery (although we can push these through reasonably quickly if we already have some in production for example – please ask). at busier times of year, lead times can be longer.

These units are made by cutting down larger containers to size they can include a newly constructed set of flat panel doors with 1x locking bar on the right-hand door as standard, these are made from sheet steel that’s the same thickness as the container side walls with an angle iron frame for rigidity. The can also come with the original cargo doors.

They include a high security lock box (padlock housing) as standard and will be given a complete external repaint* using a marine grade paint (your choice of basic RAL colour; whites, light greys, creams and very light colours may/will be a premium as we have to double coat.)

Please be aware these are made from second hand containers, so the cosmetics of the original containers can vary (prior to them being cut and repainted). You can expect some dents, creases, scratches and minor surface rust under the paintwork and repairs to the container chassis. However, you are assured of a structurally sound, clean looking, wind and water tight container. Although there is no rubber seal around the flat doors we do weld on a ‘rain guard’ above the doors, and we still offer our standard wind and water tight guarantee on these containers too. The insides will be clean and tidy but typically not repainted unless requested.

Please also note than when cutting up a larger container to make our 10ft refurbished shipping containers we do have to work within the constraints of the corrugation on the sides of the container. This means an approximate 10cm / 4 inch tolerance in the length dimension, so if you have a specific space that this container must fit into, or if you have an item of a specific size to put inside the container, then please let us know early on and we can work to meet your specific requirements.

Security & Door Type

We would suggest purchasing one of our Shipping Container padlocks  or one of our insurance rated Squire padlocks. Fitting a lock box and a padlock, gives you peace of mind that your container is highly secure.

The original doors have 4 locking bars, heavy duty rubber seals (rather than a ‘rain guard’ above the doors) and we’ll still fit a lockbox in the price. But, please be aware, if it has original doors it will likely have a flat front end as pictured left.

As is always sensible please get in touch with us if you have any questions, or want to discuss door options or want to know what is available ‘ready to go’.

In many circumstances a standard used 20ft shipping container or a refurbished 20ft shipping container will be a better ‘value for space’ option over an 10ft. If you’re only purchasing one unit, it will arrive on the same size rigid vehicle a 20ft. You’d essentially get more than twice the space an 10ft would offer!

So if you have the space that is certainly something to consider, or of course, if this all appears a little alien, please feel free to call us at any time on our Freephone number. We have an experienced and helpful team on standby. We can always discuss options and help make suggestions for a specific problem, project or space to fill.

*Please note we overspray the original container colour and liveries with your chosen finish. We do not guarantee shade matching at this basic price, sticker/livery removal prior to painting, or masking off of door seals/locking bars prior to painting. (if you go for the standard cargo door option.) Container decals can be removed and we can mask off the door seals and locking rods, but this will add to the price. Please specify your requirements at time of enquiry.
