Choosing the Right Container Grade
We classify our stock into specific grades. Understanding these conditions helps you balance cost against aesthetics and functionality. We offer two primary categories for sale.
New (One-Trip) Shipping Containers
One-trip containers are manufactured in China and shipped to the UK with a single cargo load. We classify them as "new" because they arrive in pristine condition. These units feature factory-original paint (usually blue or green), minimal handling marks, and a high-security lockbox fitted as standard. They are the correct choice if the container will sit in a visible location, such as a driveway, sports club, or business forecourt in Troon. They also hold a valid CSC plate, making them immediately ready for international transport.
Used Wind and Watertight Containers
Used containers have spent 10 to 15 years in global shipping fleets. They will show signs of wear, including dents, surface rust, and shipping line decals. However, we inspect every unit to guarantee it is wind and watertight. We ensure the doors operate correctly, the rubber seals are intact, and the wooden floor is sound. These are the most cost-effective solutions for secure, dry storage where function matters more than appearance. They are popular for agricultural storage or industrial sites.
Container Sizes and Dimensions
We stock standard ISO sizes. You must verify your available space in Troon before placing an order.
20ft Shipping Containers
The 20ft shipping container is the industry standard for static storage. It fits into a standard car parking space length (20ft x 8ft) and offers approximately 1,170 cubic feet of internal volume. It is suitable for storing tools, garden machinery, or household goods during a renovation.
- External Length: 20ft (6.06m)

Delivery to Troon
We manage the logistics of getting the unit to your ground. Shipping Containers of Grangemouth typically uses HIAB vehicles, which are flatbed trucks with an onboard crane.
Site Preparation
Your ground must be prepared before we arrive. The delivery truck weighs significantly more than a standard car. We require hard standing, such as concrete, tarmac, or dry compacted gravel. We cannot deliver on soft grass, loose soil, or wet mud, as the vehicle will sink. If your ground is uneven, we recommend using concrete blocks or rail sleepers to support the container corners. This keeps the unit level and prevents the doors from racking (twisting) and jamming.
Access Requirements
The truck requires a minimum gate width of 10ft (3m) to enter your property. Be aware of overhead obstacles. The crane arm needs vertical clearance to lift the container. Check for low-hanging power cables, tree branches, or building overhangs. For live power cables, the crane may need to remain more than 20 metres away. If you have any concerns about access in Troon, please contact our team to discuss.
Specialised Container Types
Beyond standard dry vans, we supply specialised equipment to South Ayrshire:
- Refrigerated Containers: Maintain specific temperatures for food, flowers, or chemical storage.
- Open Top Containers: Feature a removable roof tarpaulin for loading heavy machinery via crane.
Buy vs Hire
We offer flexible options for customers in Troon.
Buying: Purchase a shipping container if you require long-term storage (typically over 18 months) or if you plan to modify the unit (e.g., adding windows, electrics, or insulation). You own the asset and can resell it later.
Hiring: If your need is temporary, hiring a container in Troon is often more economical. You avoid upfront capital expenditure and maintenance costs. We handle the transport to and from your site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a shipping container cost in Troon?
Container prices fluctuate based on global steel markets and current stock availability. A used wind and watertight unit costs significantly less than a new one-trip container. For the most accurate, up-to-date price valid for 7 days, please submit a request via our online quote form.
Can I view the container before purchase?
For safety reasons, we do not permit customers to walk around our busy depots. However, transparency is key. If you are buying a used unit, we can often send photographs of the specific container we intend to load for your order. All our stock comes with a guarantee of being wind and watertight.
Do I need planning permission?
Shipping containers are often classed as temporary structures. However, regulations depend on your specific location (residential vs commercial) and how long the container will remain on site. We strongly advise checking with the South Ayrshire Council planning department to confirm the rules for your property.
How soon can you deliver?
We typically arrange delivery within 3 to 5 working days from the point of order, subject to transport availability. If you have an urgent requirement, please contact our team to discuss express options.
Can you modify the container?
Yes. We can install lockboxes for added security, repaint the exterior to match your branding, or fit racking. Discuss your modification requirements with our team when you request your quote.
