The United Colours of Shipping Containers
January 22nd, 2009 | 
Author: Shipping Containers come in many shapes and sizes and we were discussing in the office the various different preferences there are for containers on a national level. This inspired Susan to get out her sketch pad and to draw some cartoons to give us a high note to end our week on.
BRECON BEA-CON-TAINER
For example, our enquiries in Wales are often for 10ft containers or insulated containers. Susan often goes to Wales for inspiration for her painting and is particularly fond of the Brecon Beacons.
LEPRI-CORN-TAINERS
Refrigerated Containers are always in demand in Ireland, often for the fishing industry. You will have gathered from this particular cartoon that we are very keen on a particular Irish beverage.
BOX NESS MONSTER
Both Susan and I have Scottish parents. We get asked for a lot of 20ft containers and 40ft containers in the Glasgow area in particular - a fact which always causes debate in the office over football teams as both Susan and I support opposing Glasgow Teams. Blue is obviously the superior colour no matter what Susan says to the contrary.
Whatever the demand is for shipping containers in whatever part of the UK, CS Shipping Containers are happy to supply them - be they in blue, green,……..or even brown, red etc.!!!

Shipping Containers - New Website CS Shipping Containers
Regular readers will know that we have been working hard on our new website. It is designed to be easy to navigate around and give easily accessible information on shipping containers.
Today we have launched the almost completed site. It does not have all the photographs that we had planned as yet, but does have some unique features such as a section on FAQ specifically relating to refrigerated containers - some of which we featured in last weeks blog.
There are specific sections on containers for secure storage, shipping which explain all the things you need to know when purchasing a shipping container to use in these ways. There is also sections specifically designed for different applications such as companies, individuals, education etc. Container Conversions also have a special section which we will continually update with new ideas and projects.
Let us know what you think of the new site and bear with us as we update our shipping container images. Any ideas you have on how we can improve things we would love to hear.

All refrigerated containers vary slightly in their actual dimensions but the above table gives a good general guide to base your calculations on.
Popular models of refrigerated shipping containers include carrier, thermoking, daikin and mitsibushi. Parts for these are readily available in the UK.
