45ft Shipping Containers
Overview
The largest container in our range, we can supply 45ft shipping containers across the UK.
Available in used condition only, the 45ft high cube shipping containers we stock are spacious in size, as they provide an extra foot of height and 5 feet of length. These pallet-wide containers are the perfect option for the safe storage, transportation, and international shipping of large cargo. Our structurally sound stock of used 45ft shipping containers is guaranteed wind and watertight, with plywood floors and multiple air vents and lashing points.
As the 45ft shipping containers we supply are second-hand and vary in appearance and condition, we also offer a repainting service if a fresh lick of paint is required. Furthermore, a lockbox can be installed onto our used containers for an additional charge prior to delivery if this is desired by the customer as a security measure.
Commonly used for transporting goods, 45ft shipping containers can hold up to 33 Euro Pallets and 26 Standard Pallets.

The external dimensions of a 45ft high cube shipping container are approximately 45ft (13,716mm) long, 8ft 2ins (2,500mm) wide and 9ft 6ins (2,896) high. The approximate internal dimensions are 44ft 6ins (13,556mm) long, 7ft 11ins (2,444mm) wide and 8ft 10ins (2,694mm) high.

Due to shipping containers being classed as temporary structures, they are often not subjected to planning laws.
However, planning permission for a shipping container will need to be sought if the plan is for the unit to be used to build a home. Planning permission is also required whenever a structure needs a foundation.
For peace of mind, it is always best to get in touch with your local planning office to seek assurances about your planned work.
