We stock the standard ISO sizes used in global shipping. #### 20ft Shipping Containers The 20ft container fits in a standard car parking space (20ft long x 8ft wide). It is the most common choice for residential driveways and smaller commercial sites. It holds about 1,170 cubic feet of goods. - [Rent 20ft Containers in Havering](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/hire-containers/20ft-containers) - [Rent 20ft Flat Racks](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/hire-containers/20ft-flat-rack) - [Rent 20ft Open Tops](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/hire-containers/20ft-open-top) - [Rent 20ft Refrigerated Containers](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/hire-containers/20ft-refrigerated) #### 40ft Shipping Containers The 40ft container offers double the capacity (approx. 2,350 cubic feet). It is ideal for large construction sites or warehousing needs in areas like Rainham or Hornchurch. Note that delivery requires significant straight-line clearance (approx. 100ft). - [Rent 40ft Containers in Havering](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/hire-containers/40ft-containers) - [Rent 40ft Flat Racks](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/hire-containers/40ft-flat-rack) - [Rent 40ft Open Tops](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/hire-containers/40ft-open-top) - [Rent 40ft Refrigerated Containers](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/hire-containers/40ft-refrigerated) ### 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](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/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](https://www.havering.gov.uk/planning-building-control) department for specific advice. ### Buy a Shipping Container If you require permanent storage, buying a container is a cost-effective investment. We sell new (one-trip) and used containers in Havering. You can modify purchased units for offices, canteens, or workshops.

We usually deliver within 3 to 5 working days. As we have depots serving East London, we can sometimes offer faster turnaround times. Call us to check current availability. #### Do I need to prepare the ground? Yes. The container must sit on a level, hard surface. We recommend using paving slabs or railway sleepers under the four corners. If the ground is not level, the doors may rack (twist) and become difficult to open. #### Are the containers waterproof? Yes. We guarantee all our containers are wind and watertight. We inspect the roofs and door seals before dispatch. To prevent condensation damage to sensitive goods, consider using moisture traps. #### Can I choose a specific container? For new (one-trip) containers, units are virtually identical. For used containers, we can often provide photos of the specific unit allocated to you so you can check its condition before delivery. #### Can you deliver to residential addresses? Yes, provided there is sufficient access for the Hiab truck. The truck needs a width of roughly 9ft and substantial length. We cannot drive onto soft driveways or lawns.
