Frequently Asked Questions
What are the standard sizes of shipping containers?
Shipping containers come in a variety of sizes to suit different needs:
- 6ft containers: The smallest option, ideal for tight spaces or small storage needs.
- 8ft containers: A compact choice for secure storage or small-scale projects.
- 10ft containers: Portable and versatile, perfect for construction sites or event storage.
- 20ft containers: The most popular size, offering ample space for storage or conversions.
- 40ft containers: Best for large-scale storage, transportation, or custom projects.
Additionally, 20ft and 40ft containers are available in high cube options, which provide an extra foot of height (9’6” instead of 8’6”), making them ideal for projects that require additional headroom.
What is the difference between single-trip new containers and used containers?
- Single-trip new containers:
- Manufactured in the Far East and used to ship goods to the UK just once.
- They are essentially brand new, with minimal wear and tear.
- Offer a clean, modern appearance, making them ideal for businesses, container conversions, or high-quality storage.
- Used containers:
- Previously owned and used for multiple shipments or storage.
- More affordable than new containers, making them a cost-effective solution for budget-conscious projects.
- May show signs of wear but are still structurally sound and weatherproof.
- Single-trip new containers:
What are the benefits of high cube containers?
High cube containers, available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, provide an extra foot of height, making them ideal for:
- Storing taller equipment or goods.
- Adding extra comfort for container conversions like offices or retail units.
- Maximising storage without increasing the container’s footprint.
How secure are shipping containers for storage?
Shipping containers, including high cube options, are made from durable corten steel, providing weatherproof and tamper-resistant storage. You can enhance security with features like lockboxes & heavy-duty padlocks
How do I prepare my site for a shipping container?
To place a container on your site, ensure:
• The ground is level and firm (concrete or compacted soil is ideal).
• There is enough space for delivery and installation.
• Access routes can accommodate the size of the container and delivery vehicle.Do shipping containers require planning permission?
In most cases, temporary use of shipping containers doesn’t require planning permission. However, if the container is modified for permanent use or significantly changes the appearance of a site, you may need to consult your local council.
Can shipping containers be used for more than storage?
Yes, shipping containers are versatile and can be converted into offices, retail units, cafes, event spaces, and even pop-up shops. Customisation options like insulation, lighting, and plumbing make them suitable for various purposes.

Had a brilliant experience with Vinco Sales! From start to finish Joe has been an excellent help, walking me through the options for our needs.
