Rent Storage Containers in Redbridge

Efficient Container Hire Services

Hiring a container offers flexibility without the capital cost of purchasing. We make the process simple. You select the size and type, we check your access, and then we deliver. Our team works with businesses and private individuals in Redbridge to solve storage problems quickly.

We require a minimum hire period of eight weeks for all rentals. This policy allows us to maintain competitive weekly rates and high service levels. To start your hire, you must pay a deposit that covers the eventual haulage collection cost. We take this payment up front so you face no hidden exit fees when you return the unit. You simply off-hire the container, and we arrange collection.

If you need storage for less than eight weeks, we can still help, but the minimum charge applies. This suits projects with uncertain timelines where you might need the unit longer than expected. You can extend your hire on a rolling basis for as long as you need.

Standard and Specialised Container Types

We stock a wide range of shipping containers to meet diverse storage requirements. Most customers in Redbridge choose our standard dry vans, but we also supply specialised equipment for specific cargoes.

20ft Shipping Containers

The 20ft container is the industry standard for static storage. It fits into a typical car parking space length and provides approximately 1,170 cubic feet of volume. These units work well for site tools, machinery, and general household goods.

Construction and Security Specifications

Security is the primary reason our customers choose shipping containers over sheds or off-site self-storage. Our units provide a robust barrier against theft and the elements.

Corten Steel Structure

We build our containers from Corten steel, a weathering steel alloy that develops a stable rust-like appearance when exposed to the elements, helping prevent deeper corrosion. This material resists impact and cutting, making the shell extremely tough. The walls and roof are fully welded, ensuring the unit remains wind and watertight.

Marine Plywood Flooring

The floor consists of 27mm marine plywood. This dense, treated wood can support heavy loads, including forklifts driving inside the container. It resists rot and provides a flat, stable surface for stacking boxes or racking.

Lock Boxes and Security

We fit a steel lock box to the cargo doors of our hire units. A lock box is a steel shroud that covers your padlock, preventing thieves from accessing the shackle with bolt croppers or angle grinders. You get high-level security with a simple padlock. For sites with high-value goods, we can discuss advanced locking mechanisms or alarm systems.

Delivery to Redbridge

We deliver using HIAB trucks, which have an onboard crane to lift the container onto your ground. This method eliminates the need to hire a separate crane. However, successful delivery depends on clear access and solid ground.

Access Requirements

The truck needs space to park and extend its stabiliser legs. For a 20ft container, the driver requires approximately 60 feet of straight-line clearance. For a 40ft unit, this increases to about 110 feet. The entrance to your site must be at least 12 feet wide to allow the vehicle to turn and enter safely. Check for overhead cables and low branches, as the crane arm extends high into the air during the lift.

Ground Conditions

You must provide a hard, level surface. Concrete, asphalt, or dry, compacted gravel work best. We cannot deliver onto grass, mud, or sand, as the heavy truck will sink and may get stuck. If your site is not level, the container doors may rack (twist) and jam. We recommend using railway sleepers or paving slabs under the corners to level the unit if the ground is uneven.

Buying vs Hiring in Redbridge

While hiring suits temporary needs, you might prefer to buy if you need the container for more than two years or want to modify it. We offer a full range of containers for sale in Redbridge. Purchased units can be painted to your corporate colours or converted into offices, canteens, or workshops.
