Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy and hire different container sizes in my area?

Yes, we cover all standard sizes (10ft, 20ft, and 40ft) as well as specialist types, including open-top, flat rack, and refrigerated units. Start by exploring buying options or hiring options, then visit your local page above to check availability. For fast, no-obligation pricing guidance, request a container quote.

What access do I need for delivery?

Most drops are completed by HIAB crane lorries. As a rule of thumb, allow clear access for the truck, firm-level ground and space to lift the container safely. Please read our delivery guidelines and learn about container transport before booking.

Do you supply specialist containers for conversions and projects?

Absolutely. Alongside standard units, we supply open-top, flat rack and refrigerated options in both 20ft and 40ft formats. If you’re planning a build or fit-out, explore our guidance on converted containers and our container learning hub.

How quickly can I get a container?

Lead times vary depending on stock, location, and delivery route. Submit a quick quote request with your delivery postcode for accurate availability and scheduling. For urgent jobs, call us on 0330 0130 636.

What’s the best value, buy or hire?

If you need a container for a short period, hiring is typically the most cost-effective option. For ongoing storage or long-term projects, buying often proves more cost-effective over time. Compare models here: 20ft | 40ft | 20ft hire | 40ft hire.
