I have a need for a 20ft lined shipping container. Anyone bought one? Anyone know of a good company to deal with.?

i bought one actually complete as an operating fridge. I collected it from the centre of Nottingham which I guess wouldn’t be far from you. Don’t recall the name and it was some 25 years ago but it was a huge yard of containers

Not sure where you're based but down here in the southwest we have Heaver Bros and have just taken some office containers on hire from Alan Coward. Think they has some "one trip" containers available at reasonable rates. The haulage is the killer part though.

Always be aware they are ex shipping containers for a reason, that industry runs things down to the ground or there is a high price attached. There are gems out there but tread carefully.

20ft containers are expensive - any decent used one is close to new price - I thought the new/one trip containers were better value.
Hansard will deliver on a hiab truck - about £300 around central Lincs
