Grade A 20ft Used Shipping Containers for Sale Across the UK

Looking for a clean, highly secure, and cost-effective storage solution? Our Grade A 20ft Shipping Containers offer near-new performance at a fraction of the cost of new “one-trip” units. Carefully hand-selected and rigorously inspected by container specialists, each Grade A unit ensures maximum protection against harsh British weather, theft, and vermin.

Whether you need static site storage for construction equipment, inventory overspill for a retail enterprise, or a secure workshop for private use, a 20ft Grade A container provides 33.2 cubic metres of instantly usable, dry space.

What Makes a Container “Grade A”?

Not all used shipping containers are created equal. Containers that have spent years in deep-sea transit often exhibit heavy denting, interior rust, or structural compromise. A Grade A Container represents the top 10% tier of second-hand units:

  • Clean Internal Floors: Intact 28mm marine-grade plywood flooring free from toxic chemical spills or severe gouging.

  • Minimal External Blemishes: Light surface scuffs only; no major structural indentations, frame warping, or structural corrosion.

  • Smooth Door Mechanism: Fully functional double doors with intact rubber gaskets that seal tightly against moisture and dust ingress.

  • Wind & Watertight Guarantee: Zero water ingress or daylight visible from inside the unit when closed.

Key Features & Built-in Security

1. Heavy-Duty Corten Steel Construction

Built from corrugated Corten steel (weathering steel), these containers naturally form a protective layer against rust penetration, ensuring decades of structural integrity even in damp coastal or exposed rural environments.

2. Factory-Fitted Factory Lockbox

Every Grade A unit features an integrated steel lockbox welded directly to the primary doors. This shield encases your padlock, preventing access by bolt cutters, angle grinders, or crowbars.

3. Standardised Handling & Stacking

Equipped with heavy-duty corner castings and standard forklift pockets, our 20ft containers can be easily moved using standard site equipment, telehandlers, or container lifters.

Common Applications

  • Construction & Building Sites: Secure storage for power tools, building materials, and site documentation.

  • Commercial & Retail Inventory: Secure overspill space for seasonal stock, archives, and furniture.

  • Agricultural & Equestrian Use: Dry storage for feed, tack, fertilizers, and small farm machinery.

  • Residential & Land Development: Temporary secure storage during self-build projects, home renovations, or land clearing.
