Security and Build Quality

We build our containers to keep thieves and the weather out. They are designed to withstand harsh marine environments, making them ideal for land-based storage.

• Corten Steel: The main structure is made of weathering steel (Corten). This alloy forms a protective rust-resistant layer, ensuring the container lasts for decades.
• Lock Boxes: We fit a steel lock box to the cargo doors of our hire fleet. This shroud protects your padlock from bolt cutters and drills.
• Watertight Seals: Heavy-duty rubber gaskets seal the doors. This prevents water ingress and protects your goods from rain and wind.

Hiab Delivery to Newham

We deliver using Hiab trucks equipped with an onboard crane. The driver lifts the container from the vehicle and places it on your prepared ground. We can lift over fences or low walls if the reach allows.

Site Access: Ensure the truck can reach the drop zone. Newham has many Red Routes and parking restrictions. We cannot offload onto public roads or pavements without a prior council suspension and permit. We can only offload onto private land (driveways, yards, depots).

Ground Conditions: The truck weighs over 15 tonnes. The ground must be hard standing (concrete, tarmac, or compacted hardcore). We cannot drive on grass or soft soil.

Planning Permission in Newham

Shipping containers are portable, temporary structures. In many cases, you do not need planning permission. However, rules apply if the container is visible from the highway, located in a conservation area, or remains for a long period. You should check with Newham Council Planning for local regulations.

Buy a Shipping Container

If you need permanent storage, purchasing a container is often more cost-effective. We sell new (one-trip) and used containers in Newham. Ownership allows you to modify the unit, paint it, or convert it. View our Sales in Newham options.
