Shipping Containers in Newcastle
To buy new and used shipping and storage containers, Edinburgh businesses turn to KH Containers. Every used container we supply is selected to be wind-tight, watertight, and ready to keep your equipment, stock, or belongings safe and secure. Whether you're storing on a construction site, shipping goods through the Port of Leith, or setting up a custom site office, we'll find the right fit.
Over the past 10 years, we've built a broad network of depots, hauliers, and suppliers to serve our growing list of satisfied customers across the Lothians. We’re a family-run business, so you’ll deal with the same person from enquiry to delivery. Our shipping containers can be bought new or used, and come in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft lengths.
Well-Travelled But Tough
Types of Shipping Containers We Offer
High Cube Containers
Need a bit more headroom? High cube containers give you an extra 300mm of internal height compared to standard units, which makes all the difference when you're storing stacked pallets, bulky machinery, or anything else that's awkward to squeeze in. They're a popular choice for Edinburgh's engineering and construction firms, which need the extra space without a bigger footprint on site.
New high cube containers come with the durable flooring, secure locking system, and extra ventilation you'd expect from a premium container, making them ideal for long-term storage or conversion projects.
Side-Opening Containers
Standard containers only open at one end, which isn't always practical if you need to load or unload something from the middle. Side-opening containers solve that problem, with doors running the full length of one side for easy access to everything inside.
They're a smart option for anyone using their container as a mobile shop, workshop, or display unit, though they come at a premium compared to standard units. We're always upfront about cost, so you can weigh up whether the extra convenience is worth it for your needs.
Tunnel Containers
Tunnel containers open at both ends, giving you a clear run straight through the unit. That's ideal for loading long or heavy items, or for sites where access from one direction alone isn't practical. Like all our containers, tunnels are wind and watertight, keeping whatever's inside safe and dry.
Open-Top Containers
Some loads simply won't fit through a standard doorway. Open-top containers have a removable, flexible tarpaulin roof instead of a fixed one, so you can lower tall machinery, awkward equipment, or loose materials straight in by crane or forklift. Available in 20ft or 40ft sizes, they're a regular request from Edinburgh's industrial and agricultural customers.
Site Office Containers
Site office containers are converted units that give you a secure, ready-made space on site, perfect for construction offices, welfare facilities, canteens, or drying rooms. They're built with anti-vandal features, so you can leave equipment and paperwork on site without worrying about break-ins overnight.
What Sets Us Apart
Why Choose KH Containers for Shipping Containers in Edinburgh
Buying a container isn't something most people do every day, and it's easy to feel unsure about who to trust. That's where we come in. We take a consultancy approach rather than a sales approach; we ask the right questions about what you actually need, then find the container to match, rather than pushing whatever's easiest to shift.
Whether you're after a new or used container, need a secure storage container, or want to explore a conversion for something a bit different, we'll talk you through the options honestly, including what we can and can't guarantee on cosmetic condition. We also supply containers for workshops, cafés, storage sites, and other bespoke conversion projects.
