Used Shipping Container
Cost-effective storage
Looking for a cost-effective storage or workspace solution? At RS French, we stock a wide range of used shipping containers for sale available in various sizes and conditions to suit your budget and requirements.
Used shipping containers are steel containers that have already been in service for transporting goods which are then sold instead of being scrapped. They may have spent years in active shipping, typically showing signs of wear such as dents, scratches, faded paint, or surface rust, but are still structurally sound and weatherproof.
Because they’re much cheaper than new units, used containers are popular for alternative uses like secure on-site storage, workshops, pop-up shops, or even homes. Their durability, standardised sizes, and global availability make them a versatile and cost-effective option for both commercial and personal projects.
These are available in various sizes, however using our own fabrication services we can make a container of any length, buy shorting or extending standard lengths. If you are interested in a new container which is visually more appealing and doesn’t show any signs of wear, then a New One Trip container will be more suited.
