A 30ft cut down shipping container starts life as a brand-new, one-trip 40ft ISO container — used for a single ocean voyage to bring it to the UK, then never used for shipping again. Our fabrication team shortens it to a precise 30ft length, re-welds a new end frame and corner posts, and fits a fresh double-door end so it’s structurally sound and fully weatherproof. The result is a container with the strength and finish of a new unit, sized to fit sites where a standard 40ft simply won’t go.
Because it’s built to order, the 30ft length isn’t a “leftover” size — it’s a genuine middle ground between a 20ft and a 40ft container, giving you noticeably more internal capacity than a 20ft while still fitting on narrower plots, tighter access roads, or restricted planning footprints.

If your site, driveway, or yard can’t accommodate a 12.2m-long 40ft unit — because of access width, turning circles, boundary lines, or local planning limits — a 30ft cut down container gives you roughly three-quarters of the storage volume in a noticeably shorter footprint. It’s a popular middle-ground choice for businesses and homeowners who’ve measured their site and found a 40ft won’t fit but a 20ft feels too small.

No. Once cut and re-fabricated, the container is for static storage or ground-based use only — it’s no longer certified for sea freight.
Yes. The rear panel and corner posts are fully welded and re-sprayed to match the original one-trip finish, so there’s no weak point at the cut line.
A 30ft cut down container sits between the two — more capacity than a 20ft, smaller footprint than a 40ft — and is custom-fabricated rather than a factory-standard size.
Yes, a lockbox is fitted as standard; you’ll just need to add your own padlock.
