Our 6ft shipping containers offer easy mobility and are a great option when it comes to needing a small, secure storage space. If you’re working with limited space and budgets, this range could be your answer.

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.

Just like all of our models, they are wind and watertight, and come fitted with multiple air vents, plywood flooring and multiple lashing points. Our new shipping containers also feature a lock box as standard.

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.

Flexible access with tunnel containers

Up your storage game with our range of tunnel containers. Unlike traditional containers, tunnel containers provide access at both ends, making stored goods easier to access regardless of where they’re positioned inside.

Retrieve item more quickly, helping to keep your operations moving efficiently. Whether you need regular access to the container or require long-term storage, tunnel containers make for practical storage solutions for both commercial and domestic use.

Additionally, as there’s access either side, it makes a natural deterrent for pests and rodents as there’s less opportunity for nests to gather.

New tunnel containers

Boxman supplies new tunnel containers for businesses that are looking for a durable storage or operational solution. They are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, and the dual-door design provides convenient access from both ends.

Used tunnel containers

Boxman also offers 20ft and 40ft used tunnel containers as an alternative to new containers. These provide a cost-effective alternative while retaining the practical advantages of access at both ends.
