Our 9ft containers provide an excellent mid-sized storage option. They deliver a balance of practicality and storage space, making them ideal where larger containers may be unnecessary or impractical. Available in dark blue or green as standard, they can also be resprayed or factory-ordered to match your branding.

Small shipping containers (Mini sets)

We are offering small containers, which are compact and portable containers used mainly for construction sites and storing goods. These containers come in various sizes, but they are typically smaller than standard shipping containers (some even fit inside standard 20ft containers) making them even easier and cheaper to transport when bought in bulk.  Available for hire and purchase are 5ft, 6ft, 7ft, 8ft, 9ft and 10ft sizes. Due to their smaller size and weight, these containers can be placed in locations where larger containers are not suitable. They are stackable, making them ideal for temporary storage solutions or when space is limited.    

Standard shipping container sizes

GP shipping containers are the most commonly used type of shipping container. They are available in 20ft, and 40ft sizes. Our conversions team can modify to bespoke sizes such as 30ft. These containers have become the most preferred choice due to their versatility, ease of handling, and ease of converting them into anything. Shipping containers are popular in the construction industry due to their sturdiness, cost-effectiveness, and ease of transportation. Additionally, they offer sustainable building options. Their adaptability also allows for a wide range of creative applications in construction projects.
