These cargo-worthy models are available in a wide range of colours, conditions and prices. We offer this variation because we know that budgets can be diverse, and no two sales are the same.

8ft Shipping Containers

We stock 8ft shipping containers for sale and hire, perfectly tailored to your business needs. From transportation to storage space and conversions, our 8ft containers can do the trick.
8ft shipping containers are the smallest cargo option you can go for. If you don’t need extensive room or storage, these containers can suit all your requirements without taking up too much space.

8ft Container Description

If you don’t have much room to play with, 8ft shipping storage containers might be the most sensible and practical solution.

Due to their compact size, 8ft containers tend to be used for storing tools, small equipment, and other not-so-bulky items. They can even be converted into offices and spaces that don’t need vast amounts of room, such as ticket booths, transportable kiosks, and so on.

All our new 8ft shipping containers for sale are made to the highest quality. As well as being wind and watertight, they come with a plywood floor, multiple vents, and several lashing points.

Why Should I Get an 8ft Container?

One of the most noticeable benefits of 8ft shipping containers is that they are very easy to transport, meaning you can relocate them from one place to another without much hassle. 

For example, if you own a hospitality business that’s constantly on the move, 8ft shipping containers give you the chance be flexible and serve customers from all over the country.

They are also of the right size if you need to find a dedicated space to store machinery, equipment or other items required on-site for short- or long-term projects. 

If you are planning to use an 8ft container for the domestic side of things, it can act as a garden shed or a smaller version of a traditional garage. If necessary, it can be used to securely store a motorbike, too.

8ft containers are also sturdy, secure, versatile, and customisable. This way, you will have no problem making them look the part – no matter what you need them for.

  • Double doors at one end
  • Constructed from high-quality Corten steel

Available in 20ft and 40ft configurations, our open top containers offer flexible storage for bulky and tall items that are difficult to store elsewhere.

New Open Top Containers

We have a wide variety of new open top containers available for purchase.

We can also provide the option of a tarpaulin to fasten across the top of the container so that you can rest assured that your cargo is protected from the elements. This flexibility makes our open top containers the ideal choice for heavy equipment as they allow for overhead cranes or forklifts to load the goods into the container, creating a more convenient and efficient way of securing your goods within the container.

Used Open Top Containers

At Boxman, we can also offer used open top containers as a more budget-friendly option, which offer the same convenient loading options and available in both 20ft and 40ft sizes, this cost-effective solution provides excellent value for money.
Despite their used condition, these containers are carefully inspected to ensure that they maintain their structural integrity and remain structurally sound, weather-resistant and fit for purpose.
