Looking to buy a new ‘single trip’ shipping container? At S Jones, we supply high-quality new shipping containers to businesses and individuals across Great Britain. With over 40 years of experience, ISO-certified standards, and reliable nationwide delivery, we make purchasing a new container simple, secure, and cost-effective.
We stock a full range of new shipping containers, including 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft standard units, high cube containers for increased internal height, and specialist units such as tunnel containers and side opening containers for easy loading access.
A new shipping container is also known as a single-trip or one-way shipper. It is manufactured overseas, loaded with cargo once to travel to the UK, and then sold as a new container. It will be in an excellent structural condition, with only very light handling marks from that initial journey.
A used shipping container, by comparison, has normally been in worldwide shipping use for 10–15 years and will typically show areas of surface rust, dents, and scuffing externally and internally.
We supply containers to Birmingham, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol and beyond – ensuring quick, cost-effective delivery wherever you are in Great Britain.

A new single-trip container can last around 25 years or more with basic maintenance. If you ever need refurbishment, we can provide this, and if the original paint fades over time, our ClearRestore product can revive and protect the finish to extend its life and appearance even further.
We deliver across Great Britain using crane-equipped HIAB lorries that lift and position the container directly onto prepared ground. Before delivery, we confirm access, space and positioning so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
A 20ft container usually suits general storage or construction use. A 10ft works well for tight sites, cafés, kiosks or small business storage. A 40ft or high-cube container is best when you need maximum capacity, such as for warehousing, tools, equipment or stock overflow. If you tell our team what you plan to store and where it will go, we’ll recommend the right size and provide a tailored quote. Alternatively, explore our Container Dimensions page.
Yes, new containers are ideal for conversions into workshops, plant rooms, office spaces or equipment housings. We can also add personnel doors, windows, insulation, lining, electrics and other custom modifications in-house.
A new or single-trip shipping container is manufactured overseas and used once to transport cargo to the UK before being sold. This means containers are never truly brand-new; they may have light marks from that journey, and because stock moves across Great Britain, the exact appearance can vary slightly upon delivery. However, they remain in excellent structural condition and are the closest you can get to new.
They are worth it when condition and lifespan matter. New containers look smarter, last longer, and provide better weather protection than used units, which is especially valuable for visible sites, commercial settings, and long-term storage or conversion projects. They also hold their value better when resold.
Yes, we offer flexible finance options to help spread the cost of your container. This is useful for businesses managing budgets, project-based sites and customers who prefer to preserve cash flow. Our team can provide finance details alongside your quote.
Unfortunately our delivery was delayed by several hours but the driver made up for lost time, he was very polite and proffessional and sited the container inch perfect.
I was treated extremely well they took care of what I needed without any fuss.
I cannot thank the staff at S Jones Containers enough. Everyone I spoke to went over and above to help. The containers were ordered and delivered in a very timely manner. We were kept informed at all times. The containers arrived at the time expected and were very easy to install. Thank you to everyone at S Jones Containers.
