 Container Projects Ltd manages the supply of equipment for the automotive and bulk liquid sectors. For businesses looking to [buy containers](https://container-projects.com/services/container-sales) for permanent fleet use or [hire containers](https://container-projects.com/services/container-hire) for one-off projects, we offer ready stock from regional UK depots. You can [get a quote](https://container-projects.com/get-a-quote) to confirm technical details and transport timelines. Our logistics network ensures every unit is prepared for its specific cargo.

We supply specialist units as [one-trip](https://container-projects.com/container-types/iso/general-purpose) stock. A one-trip unit is a new container that has made a single journey from the manufacturer to the UK. For international transport, every unit features a CSC plate. A CSC plate is a safety approval plate required for international shipping to certify structural safety.

  ## Choose the right specialist container type

Specialist units are designed for cargo that cannot be accommodated in standard boxes. Container Projects Ltd provides technical support for these unique applications.

### Car carrier containers

A [car carrier container](https://container-projects.com/container-types/specialist/car-carrier-container) features internal racking systems or high-strength lashing points to protect vehicles during transit. These are often built as high-cube units to allow stacking multiple cars within a 40ft frame.

### Flexitank containers

A [flexitank container](https://container-projects.com/container-types/specialist/flexitank-container) is a standard 20ft box fitted with a multilayer bladder for bulk non-hazardous liquid logistics. This system converts a dry container into a liquid carrier for oils, juices, or non-toxic chemicals. For hazardous liquids, we recommend a specialised [tank](https://container-projects.com/container-types/iso/tank) instead.

  ## Condition grades and loading limits

Internal cleanliness and structural rigidity are vital for specialist cargo. We supply used units that meet the IICL standard. IICL refers to a high standard of container repair and condition set by the Institute of International Container Lessors. For static storage, we provide units that are wind- and watertight. A wind- and watertight unit is a condition grade that ensures the unit is sealed against weather and light. We confirm the tare and payload of every unit. The tare is the weight of the empty container. The payload is the maximum weight of cargo the container can carry.

  ## Delivery access and site placement

Container Projects Ltd coordinates [container haulage](https://container-projects.com/services/container-haulage) using hiab crane vehicles. Siting a specialist unit requires careful planning:

- **Ground Level:** Siting must be perfectly level to ensure car racking systems or liquid bladders remain stable.
- **Turning Space:** A 40ft delivery truck needs approximately 100ft of straight approach.
- **Access:** Roads and gates must be at least 10ft wide for the delivery vehicle.
