All of our units are built with plywood flooring, multiple lashing points and air vents, and are fully wind and watertight. All new 20ft containers for sale come with a lock box as standard too, whereas these are optional in used models. You can also purchase a padlock from us for extra security.
Our 20ft new (one trip) shipping containers are built to an extremely high specification too, making them the most secure, long-lasting and cost-effective container money can buy. The majority of them are fitted with 14+ air vents, polyurethane (PU) coated floors, grease nipples and easy-opening door bars.
