MK Offer a vast range of storage and shipping containers ..

MK Containers specialise in offering the very best prices for storage and shipping containers /.. Our new Storage containers are imported from the Czech republic.. we purchase in bulk and due to the clever design we can import four 10ft containers, and each 10ft container will have a 6ft container and an 8ft container inside !!

If you need a range of sizes why not ask for a quote for a 6ft / 8ft and 10ft   .. we delivery one 10ft .. with the two others inside .. delivery costs are not only reduced to us but also to you , .. you are only paying for a smaller lorry .. keeping all costs as low as possible.

OUR MK STORAGE CONTAINERS are ideal for many aplicatons .. the self storage market take these to enable smaler units to be hired .. the 8ft is very popular for the Domestic customer to hire, when just storing items to make more temparary room, or to de clutter whilst trying to find a buyer for thier home.

Many businessess purchase Storage containers to obtain extra storage space .. we no longer offer the 20ft LC range as the 'once used' 20ft shipping container is around half the LC cost ,, a few 20ft containers can greatly increase a firms storage space, sometimes eliminating the need to move to largrer buildings!

Once used shipping containers are by far the best value containers when comparing with standard used or brand new  ..

Standard used shipping containers are normally around 10  years old +  .. most shipping firms only release these containers once most of the container life has nearly ended .. shippers must ensure the containers are wind and water tight, once this can not be ensured they are released .. we do offer used shipping containers, we will ensure you are aware of the state / possible state and condition of our used containers .. if you are only storing items that dont need to be totally water tight . say you are storing scaffolding or farm items then we will be pleased to offer our used boxes . .. if your items are furniture, books etc .. and you need to ensure the doors fit well, and must be wind and water tight then our 'once used' are a must .. they are new when they leave China .. loaded with the hings we buy . these containers are of high spec and in the last 12 months include a factory fitted lockbox .. normally we weld these on after we take delivery @ around £60.00 so this is another good saving. all have two locking bars on each door, wooden floor and vents .. we find these once used have no condensation problems .. but we can not assure this ..

Standard containers

The 40 ft  & 20ft containers are the most popular containers worldwide. Longer container types have become more common, especially in North America. Shorter containers (e.g. 10 ft (3.0 m) containers) are rare.

The following table shows the weights and dimensions of the three most common types of containers worldwide. The weights and dimensions quoted below are averages, different manufacture series of the same type of container may vary slightly in actual size and weight.

20-ft, "heavy tested" containers are available for heavy goods (e.g. heavy machinery). These containers allow a maximum weight of 67,200 lb (30,480)
