10ft Workshop Container
Overview
A 10ft shipping container is a compact storage unit, typically measuring half the length of a standard 20ft container. This makes them a great option for small-to-medium sized storage requirements when space is at a premium.
These containers are ideal when space is limited and a standard 20ft Shipping Container is not suitable. 10ft containers typically fit into a standard parking space and are often used for secure storage units on building sites or at schools and colleges. Our customers tend to use our 10ft storage containers for holding general tools, site equipment, archive documents, and household goods.
These units are suitable for a broad range of industries, including construction, agriculture, self storage, firework shops, supermarkets, retail, leisure and sports clubs, chemical suppliers, and energy companies. Rest assured that our new 10ft shipping containers are all made to the highest quality. They are available in standard height, and all models are wind and watertight. Please note that some used 10ft containers may feature flat panel doors.
