Competitively Priced Shipping Containers for Sale & Hire
Storage containers for sale & hire for the education sector
Schools, colleges and universities must make the most of the space they have available. Whether that’s creating additional storage, supporting building projects or finding temporary teaching space, our shipping containers offer a practical and cost-effective solution.
At TEU, we supply new and used 10ft, 20ft and 40ft shipping containers to educational organisations across Liverpool and the wider North West. With fast delivery, flexible hire and purchase options, our containers provide reliable extra space without the high cost or disruption of permanent building works.
We help schools create flexible spaces that work around their needs and budgets.
Shipping containers give schools and colleges a fast, practical way to create extra space without the cost and disruption of permanent building work.
They can be delivered and installed quickly, making them ideal for temporary classrooms, secure storage, or overflow space during refurbishments and busy periods. Built from durable anti-vandal steel, they’re also far more secure and hard-wearing than many traditional portable cabins.
For education providers working within tight budgets, containers offer a flexible and cost-effective solution that can be used short-term or kept on site for years.
Ideal for temporary or overflow classroom space
Shipping containers provide a strong and secure base structure for classroom conversions and modular learning spaces.
Many schools and colleges use converted containers as temporary classrooms during refurbishment projects, while others create dedicated teaching spaces.
Containers are built using heavy-duty steel construction, giving them a longer lifespan and making them more resistant to wear and damage over time. This makes them particularly suitable for multi-year use where schools need dependable additional space.
They can also be positioned in areas where permanent extensions may not be practical, helping education providers maximise unused outdoor space on site.

Secure On-Site Storage
-
PE & Sports Equipment Storage
-
Shipping containers are ideal for storing PE and sports equipment securely throughout the year. Balls, nets, mats, gym equipment and outdoor sports gear can all be kept dry, organised and protected from theft or weather damage.
Containers can also be positioned close to sports fields or playgrounds for easy access during lessons and after-school activities.
-
Groundskeeping & Maintenance Storage
-
Schools often require secure storage for maintenance tools and site equipment. Containers provide a safe space for storing lawn mowers, groundskeeping equipment, grit, salt, tools and cleaning supplies.
-
Their anti-vandal steel construction helps reduce the risk of theft or unauthorised access, particularly on larger school or college sites.
-
Classroom Resources & Furniture
-
Many education providers struggle with limited internal storage space. Containers offer a simple solution for storing surplus desks, chairs, exam tables, seasonal resources and archived materials.
-
By moving infrequently used items off-site within the school grounds, staff can free up valuable indoor space for day-to-day teaching activities. -
-
Additional Uses for Schools, Colleges & Universities
