Our 8ft shipping containers are the smallest containers that we currently offer. With a lower standard height, they are brought to the UK inside a new 10ft container, making them the perfect storage candidate if you need a clean and unmarked container. They are available in either green or blue and come with two lock bars with waist height door handles.
They come with a lockbox as standard, have 4 vents for optimal air ventilation and feature a high-quality marine plywood floor.
One trip or new 8ft containers come CSC Plated for 5 years from the date of manufacture, ready to be used as cargo containers.
For an additional cost, they can be treated with an internal Grafo-therm anti-condensation coating.
*Number of vents may vary on second-hand units. Second-hand units are supplied without a lockbox as standard, you can add one at an additional cost. Second-hand units are supplied in their original colour.
• External: 8’ (L) x 7’4.9’’ (W) x 7’4.9’’ (H)

All our units are normally delivered by HIAB lorry. On sites with restricted access, we may need to use an alternate delivery method such as a forklift or a telescopic handler.
Our Sales Team will get in touch once you have placed the order to discuss and arrange the delivery with you. In the rare cases when we cannot get all the information about site access over the phone or using satellite and street views, we can offer a site visit to assess whether or not delivery is possible.
The maximum capacity of a lorry is the equivalent to one 40ft container. The delivery cost is calculated depending on the container size and the distance from your local depot to the provided delivery postcode when placing your order.
Please note that delivery times vary depending on stock availability, time of the year and your location.

8ft Dry Van Containers
The 8ft shipping container is the smallest standard size that we offer. It is 1ft smaller (7.6ft) in height compared to other standard containers (8.6ft), making them useful when space is limited and perfect for domestic use.
The age of a used container can vary considerably but usually they are sold by shipping lines after about 10 years of service.
Although some shipping containers are made of aluminium and steel, the majority are now made entirely of a rust-prohibitive steel called “Corten’’. A basic steel frame, fitted with weight-bearing castings fitted into the eight container corners, is filled in with corrugated steel panels which are between 1.5mm to 3.00mm thick. At one end is a pair of almost full width and height doors. These are normally fitted with four locking bars which interlock with the frame top and bottom. Most containers have a 27mm thick wooden ply floor which is supported on load bearing cross-bearers approximately 30cms apart, making the container capable of withstanding loads of 20 to 35 tons – depending on size.
A new container built by a reputable manufacturer will, under normal conditions, last 10 years without maintenance and continue for another 10- 20 years if serviced and maintained as advised.
The anticipated length of usage as a storage container depends on its condition at point of sale, the careful use and regular maintenance. Painting and servicing can prolong the life of a container.
