30ft x 8ft Used Bulk Shipping Container

Nine metres of ex-shipping-line steel, at a price per square metre that is hard to argue with. These are used bulk containers — built with four top-opening lids in the roof and a tipping hatch at the front for handling dry bulk cargo — and in Australia they are bought mostly as a way to get 30 feet of secure storage onto a site that cannot take a 40ft delivery.

The top lids turn out to be genuinely useful in that role: long or awkward items can be craned in from above rather than threaded through the end doors.

Specifications

Stock varies unit to unit

Door configuration, vent count and cosmetic condition all vary with what has come off the lines. Tell us what the container is for when you enquire and we will match a unit to it rather than allocating whatever is at the front of the yard.

Where the lids and hatch matter

• Top loading of long timber, pipe or steel by crane
• Bulk material handling where the container is filled from above
• Tipping discharge instead of shovelling out through the doors
• Ventilation and light while working inside

The alternative at this length

A one-trip 40ft cut down to 30ft gives you new steel and a clean respray at a considerably higher price. Compare both in the 30ft container range, and see the rest of the used stock in the used container category.
