CSUK in Scotland offer new and used shipping containers to private and commercial users for self-storage and export shipping. Containers can have a wide variety of uses, such as: living space, secure data centres, generators, recording studios, military use or general storage containers for cars, books or documents, furniture, equestrian tack rooms, foodstuffs or refrigeration units and much more. An additional advantage is that they are fully transportable.

Selecting your container throughout Scotland
New containers are normally manufactured from high tensile rust inhibiting corten steel, which increases life span. Having a CSC plate (MoT) they can be used for shipping containers. They come in a wide variety of sizes and types 40’, 20’, 10’ and 8’ x 8’6” standard height, or 9’6”, single or double ended doors. CSUK in Scotland have many of these units in stock at their depots throughout Scotland, and have over one hundred arriving every month.

Second-hand or Used Containers
The previous use of the container will determine the condition. They should be offered in W/W (wind and watertight) condition, and be structurally sound. Always ask the age and condition of the container. If viewing before purchase, pay particular attention to the roof and doors, known weak areas.

The majority are of standard 8’6” height and much sought after. The 40’s, can also be 9’6” high. A conventional shipping container does not have a lock box or cowl fitted. Ask your supplier about fitting one, which will considerably improve security. Do not attempt to use a container sold as a Storage Unit for Shipping Purposes as this can be a very expensive mistake.

Always discuss the specific use for your container(s), as practical advice may identify points not considered.
