Below are some more useful details that you may wish to know before purchasing a container from us.

Selecting Your Container

New containers are normally manufactured from high tensile rust inhibiting corten steel, which increases life span. Having a CSC plate (MoT) they can be used for shipping containers. They come in a wide variety of sizes and types 40’, 20’, 10’ and 8’ x 8’6” standard height, or 9’6”, single or double ended doors. Hansard Haulage always have many of these units in stock, and if the one you want isn't available straight away we can source them quickly through our contacts nationwide.

Second-hand or Used Containers

The previous use of the container will determine the condition. They should be offered in W/W (wind and watertight) condition, and be structurally sound. Always ask the age and condition of the container. If viewing before purchase, pay particular attention to the roof and doors, which are known weak areas.

The majority are of standard 8’6” height and much sought after. The 40’s, can also be 9’6” high. A conventional shipping container does not have a lock box or cowl fitted. Ask your supplier about fitting one, which will considerably improve security. Do not attempt to use a container sold as a Storage Unit for Shipping Purposes as this can be a very expensive mistake.

Always discuss the specific use for your container(s), as practical advice may identify points not considered.
