good -ish price that for a forty if it's tidy ..... so much more space in 'em too :)

Yeah it was in good enough condition and dry inside and that’s the main thing.

Bet you it was cheaper than what I payed :cry: seen some 40ft containers going cheaper than 20ft ones. 20ft is a more desirable size for us doing site work easier for us to transport and can lift on and off with a digger each end if the planning is done correct.

LOL ... it was .... a lot. ...
me two 'stores' boxes cost me 500 quid each .....
had a call from a site agent in Hereford one day, many years ago, asking if it was right I was looking for some?
he was clearing a site off and he had 10 that had to go.....
said send two down ... if they're crap they'll stay on the trucks :rolleyes:..... should've bought all 10 of 'em :( ..... were like 1400 quid at the time for tidy boxes :unsure:

me tool box was 200 quid .... but had to go get that from 20 miles away....had fallen over and had a big dent in the n/side... 'bout 20ft long.
when I got it back to me yard, I just put the Rapier crane boom's head against it and worked me way along, pushing it back in with the tele :giggle: .... few marks in it still, but good enough ;)(y)....has served me well for over thirty plus years and still dry :cool:
I might have some pix of the dent somewhereo_O ... was major and about 12-18" out in places......went back sweet :)
