Refurbished Shipping Containers – Secure Storage at 75% of the Cost

If you’re seeking a reliable storage solution on a budget, a refurbished container from S Jones could be a great option. While these used containers have travelled more than our one-trip containers, our skilled team offers various levels of refurbishment to refresh your unit.

From a simple paint respray to more extensive work involving rust removal, this flexibility allows you to choose the option that best suits your needs and budget, while still providing a cost-effective alternative to a brand new unit.

Those looking to purchase used containers will often find that initially they come in a range of colours and may have large shipping decals on them. This can make them unsuitable for storage on certain sites, or generally unsightly.

That’s why we offer our affordable and popular re-painting service to our customers. We utilise our professional container spray-painting booth at our main depot in Aldridge to achieve excellent results that speak for themselves.  See our recent renovations and customisations below:

It is not uncommon for a repainted container to still show dents and corner post markings however our skilled repair team will have worked to make it look the best they can.

Containers are moved with container lift trucks and hiab vehicles. Due to the nature of these machines, corner castings and posts can show some scratches which are unavoidable.

Simply put, no. When we repaint used containers we work on the worst or ‘more noticeable’ areas but cannot go through every single inch of the unit as this is very labour intensive. This can actually make the repaint more expensive than a buying a new unit therefore, there may be some areas of your container that are still marked.
