Security and Construction

Our containers are built to withstand the rigours of international shipping. They provide a fortress for your goods against theft and the British weather.

• Corten Steel: The walls and roof are made from weathering steel (Corten). This alloy resists rust and maintains structural strength for decades.
• Lock Boxes: We fit a steel lock box to the cargo doors on all hire units. This shroud protects your padlock from bolt cutters and angle grinders.
• Marine Plywood Floor: The 27mm thick floor is treated to resist rot and pests, capable of supporting forklifts and heavy machinery.

Hiab Delivery to Havering

We deliver using Hiab trucks equipped with hydraulic cranes. The driver lifts the container from the vehicle and places it on the ground. We can lift over fences and low walls, provided the truck can park parallel to the drop zone.

Site Requirements: The ground must be hardstanding (concrete, tarmac, or compacted hardcore). We cannot offload onto grass or soil as the 15-tonne truck will sink. You must ensure there are no overhead cables interfering with the crane arm.

Public Roads: We cannot offload containers onto public roads or pavements without prior council approval and permits.

Review our Delivery Guidelines to confirm your site is suitable.

Planning Permission in Havering

Shipping containers are generally considered temporary structures and often do not require planning permission. However, regulations apply if the container is in place for a long period, is visible from the road, or is in a conservation area. We recommend checking with the Havering Council Planning department for specific advice.
