Christmas orders taking over? 📦

For small businesses, the festive rush can mean boxes in the hallway, stock in the spare room and packing tape on the kitchen table.

A suitably converted shipping container could give you a dedicated space to organise stock, pack orders and keep everything ready for dispatch.

Think shelving, a packing bench and somewhere for all those boxes to go.

Expecting a busy few months? Speak to ST Containers about finding a container and adapting it around your business.

What is a “one trip” shipping container?

You might have seen the term when looking at containers, but what does it actually mean?

A one trip container has made its first journey from the factory to the UK, usually carrying cargo along the way. These are the containers commonly sold as “new”.

They haven’t spent years travelling around the world, although small scuffs and handling marks can still happen during that first journey.

Choosing between new and used comes down to your budget, what you’ll be storing and the condition you need.

Our team can talk you through the options and help you find a suitable container.

Another great review for the ST Containers team 🙌

“Excellent service from start to finish!

ST Containers provided a fantastic service supplying and delivering our purchased containers. Ben and Alex were professional, friendly and extremely helpful throughout, with excellent communication.

The transport was flexible, and the drivers on both days were exceptional, making positioning the containers straightforward.

First-class service from the whole team. Highly recommended!”

A big thank you to our customer for the kind words, and a great effort from everyone involved in getting the containers supplied, delivered and positioned smoothly.

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿?

In many cases, yes.

Dents, faded paint, surface rust and other cosmetic damage are common on older containers and don’t necessarily mean they have reached the end of their useful life.

What matters more is whether the container is still structurally sound, secure and wind and watertight.

Even containers with more significant damage may still have value for repairs, parts or scrap.

At ST Containers, we can assess the condition of your container and advise on the most practical option, whether that’s selling, repairing or removing it.

When is a shipping container no longer worth selling?

Rust, faded paint and a few dents do not always mean a container has reached the end of its useful life. In many cases, an older container can still provide years of secure, practical storage.

Our latest blog looks at the signs that a container may be beyond resale, when repairs are still worthwhile, and the point where recycling or disposal may become the more practical option.

Ordering a container is usually straightforward, but a little preparation can make delivery day much easier.

A few things worth considering beforehand:
• Delivery access – enough room for the lorry
• Ground – flat, solid and level
• Door space – room to open fully
• Drainage – avoid standing water
• Planning – check if permission is needed
• Positioning – consider access and security
• Ventilation – depending on what you’re storing

Getting these details sorted early can save time and avoid problems when your container arrives.

Not sure what you need? Speak to the ST Containers team and we’ll be happy to help.

Thinking about getting a shipping container? Don’t overlook what goes underneath it.

A firm, level and well drained surface is important when positioning your container. Concrete, paving slabs or supports can help keep it stable and prevent water collecting underneath.

Getting the base right before delivery can help keep your container level and in good condition for longer.

If you’re unsure about preparing your site, our team can help with advice.

🍂 Time to pack away summer?

As autumn arrives, many businesses find themselves with summer equipment, outdoor furniture, event kit or seasonal stock that is no longer needed every day.

A storage container provides a secure, weather resistant space on site, with plenty of room for larger items and wide opening doors for easy access.

For businesses that need extra capacity without committing to a permanent storage building, a container can be a practical and flexible solution through autumn and beyond.

Need your container later, but not right now?

If a container is taking up valuable space between events, projects or periods of use, we can take care of it.

We can collect your container, store it securely and arrange delivery back to you when it’s needed again.

A straightforward way to free up space without giving up a container you’ll need in the future.
