- Tell us you plan to ship when you request your quote
- 3-month wind-and-watertight warranty
Warranty terms apply. Wind-and-watertight cover concerns wind and water entering the container; condensation is a separate issue.
Get a delivered priceA watertight container can still leave what’s inside wet.
That’s why we designed the XL Vent Container.
Rain doesn’t have to get in for moisture to form inside. Water vapour can condense on cold steel, creating droplets even in a watertight container.
The XL Vent Container’s patented airflow features help reduce the risk of condensation and dampness.
XL Vent Containers are new containers, available in 20ft and 40ft, and a new container also includes a free security boosting lockbox. For a used container, ask us about condensation risk reduction solutions such as Grafotherm coating.
Storage conditions and how the container is used still affect condensation risk.

Questions about used containers
Can’t find your answer? Call 03301 220222 or request a delivered price.
What is a CSC plated container?
When buying second-hand shipping containers you have two choices: CSC plated containers suitable for international shipping, or containers suitable for self-storage.
Both are ISO shipping containers which meet ISO standards. However, containers with a valid CSC plate have been certified for shipping use, so you’ll need this type if you plan to ship cargo overseas. We stock both options.
What warranty comes with a used container?
Used containers come with a 3-month wind-and-watertight warranty at no extra charge. Before delivery we check the structure for watertightness. If the worst happens, let us know and we’ll send an engineer to repair or replace your container if needed.
Which colours do you have?
New containers are available in green and blue. Second-hand containers are supplied in a mix of colours. We also offer repainting in your choice of colour as an add-on service.
How long are your delivery vehicles?
The longest delivery vehicle is approximately 65ft in length. If you have concerns about site access restrictions, let us know and we’ll be glad to discuss alternative delivery vehicle options.
Do you offer a free virtual site survey?
Yes. A free virtual site survey is available on request before or after you order. It helps us address any site access restrictions before the delivery driver arrives with your container.
Can you cut down or convert a used container?
Yes. We can cut a 10ft down to a smaller size, such as an 8ft container, and our team handles conversions including electric packs, windows, doors and roller shutters. See our container conversions page.
Can I hire a container instead?
Yes, we rent and sell containers. Request a quote to compare, or see our container hire page.
