New vs. Used 20ft Containers
Both new and used 20ft containers offer great value, depending on your needs and budget. New 20ft containers are in the best possible condition, offering their maximum lifespan, a clean new aesthetic, and little need for maintenance. They’re perfect for corporate sites or to work in offices, retail units, or any other area that might make them highly visible.
Meanwhile, used containers are more affordable and sustainable. They may have minor cosmetic wear, but still fit the same standards for reliability and security. This makes them perfect for general storage, construction, or industrial use.

20ft storage containers
For businesses in need of temporary or modular offices on construction sites, industrial premises, or remote locations, a 20ft office container could be the ideal solution. In comparison to traditional permanent buildings, 20ft office containers are not only significantly more affordable, but they also offer unmatched levels of flexibility and speed of setup. As such, there’s no need for lengthy construction permits or site preparation; your containers can be delivered and installed within hours, providing an instant workspace solution. When compared to smaller containers, the 20ft model offers the perfect balance between space and portability. As such, it’s able to provide the internal room that you need for desks, chairs, storage, and even electrical fittings, without taking up too much site space. On the other hand, smaller sizes may not be adequately able to fit in everything you need for a functional office space. For most small- to medium-sized site offices, this size is practical, efficient, and cost-effective. On the other hand, larger containers, like 40ft units, may offer more space but can be a lot more challenging to transport and position, as a result. This is especially true on tight or uneven sites. A 20ft container allows you to maintain manoeuvrability, but still has the room to accommodate multiple workers with ease. Portable cabins have also become a popular option, as of late, but office containers provide superior durability and security by comparison. The typical container is made from heavy-duty Corten steel, meaning they’re weatherproof and able to withstand harsh conditions for a lot longer. They also offer greater long-term value, as they can be relocated, repurposed, or stacked to create modular office complexes.
While they can serve many other functions, 20ft shipping containers are designed primarily for storage and set the industry standard as a result. With their compact yet spacious design, they can safely and securely store everything from retail inventory and tools to construction materials, machinery, and personal equipment. Compared to permanent buildings, 20ft storage containers require no foundation or planning permission and can be easily relocated when necessary, making them perfect for seasonal businesses, temporary projects, or planned expansions. Smaller containers might be more portable, but 20ft containers offer space for bulkier items and larger quantities of stock. Meanwhile, larger containers might be more difficult to deliver or position, which can make access to the items inside harder in areas where access is limited. What’s more, when compared to portable storage cabins, steel containers offer far better protection from theft, weather, and pests. They are built for durability, and can come with a host of security features to protect their contents.
