Buy or Hire a Container
Buying is often best for long-term storage, regular site use, container conversion projects, and businesses that want a permanent asset. Hiring is better for short projects, refurbishments, seasonal stock, and temporary site storage.
Container Delivery Across London
Most container deliveries are made by a HIAB lorry. A HIAB is a crane vehicle that lifts the container from the truck bed and places it on prepared ground. Access, turning space, overhead clearance, and ground conditions must be checked before delivery.
Containers should sit on firm, level ground such as concrete, tarmac, paving, or railway sleepers. Uneven ground can twist the container frame and make the doors hard to open.
Before booking, read our delivery guidelines and container transport guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy and hire containers in my area?
Yes. Shipping Containers of London supplies container sales and hire across London, Greater London, and nearby towns in the Home Counties. Use the area links above, or request a container quote with your delivery postcode.
What container sizes are available?
We supply 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft containers, plus high-cube, open-top, flat-rack, refrigerated, double-door, and side-opening containers. You can also read our container types guide.
What access is needed for delivery?
You need enough space for a large delivery vehicle, firm-level ground, and clear overhead access. HIAB delivery also needs room for stabiliser legs and crane operation. Check our delivery guidelines before ordering.
Is buying or hiring a better value?
Hire is usually better for short-term storage and temporary projects. Buying is often better for long-term use, site storage, export shipping, or conversion work. Compare buying options and hire options.
