30ft Shipping Containers For Sale
Overview
30ft shipping containers do not come as a standard size, but are instead created by cutting down a 40ft container.
Our 30ft containers offer the perfect middle ground in terms of size. They are used in various industries, where companies can benefit from their spacious size and range of applications. Commonly used for general storage, these units can also be repurposed and converted into bespoke projects such as workshops, bars, restaurants, COSHH stores and much more.
Our used 30ft shipping containers are built with plywood flooring, multiple air vents and lashing points as standard. All of our 30ft units are guaranteed wind and watertight too, giving you peace of mind that all contents inside will be protected. If you require a 30ft shipping container to be made from a new (one trip) unit, it will also come with a lock box - this feature can be added as an optional extra on used boxes.
The size and versatility of our 30ft units is an appealing factor, as they provide more space than a 20ft container and less than a 40ft container should you be limited on space.
Please note that the dimensions of a standard 30ft shipping container can vary because of the fact they are modified.
- Standard: A popular option for storage with dimensions of 30ft x 8ft and a height of 8ft 6 inches.
- High Cube: Possessing the same length and width dimensions as the standard but adding an extra foot of height.
