FAQs about using shipping containers in Acomb
How much is a 20ft Container in Acomb?
The purchase price depends on factors such as age and size, whether accessories are included, and the delivery charge to Acomb. It's impossible to publish a price list because costs vary depending on market changes and delivery costs in Northumberland.

How secure are 20ft shipping containers?
Shipping containers are very secure and are the most secure storage option on the market. We supply and fit a high-security LockBox free of charge on all shipping containers for added security. Lockboxes add extra protection for container padlocks to stop them from being tampered with.
Any maintenance involved with a shipping container?
Shipping containers are fabricated from corten steel and protected with highly durable maritime paint, requiring little maintenance. Greasing the container door hinges will occasionally help ease door openings.

Are fireproof shipping containers available?
They are not 100% fireproof but are made of steel and marine plywood, so they are very fire-resistant. However, as we all know, anything will burn if subjected to enough extreme heat.
How long does a container typically last?
Many types of containers are available, and each one is built to withstand the rigours of worldwide shipping for a long time. They are very tough and secure as a result. Used containers generally have been in international operation for more than ten years. It is not unreasonable to expect a storage container to function for over ten additional years if your application and location are appropriate and if reasonable care and maintenance are provided. A new container will have travelled from its country of origin and should last over 30 years as a storage container with appropriate care and maintenance.
Do you have locations worldwide to offer your containers for sale?
We are situated in the UK and have container depots across Northumberland. We do not have depots outside of the UK, but we can arrange shipping to foreign countries for you (We can only offer this service with Container Sales, not Hire).
