At Shipping Containers of London, we supply high-quality shipping containers for hire across Redbridge, covering Ilford, Wanstead, Woodford, and surrounding areas. Whether you need temporary space for a construction site, retail stock overflow, or a home renovation, our team delivers the right unit to your location. We prioritise speed and clarity, ensuring you get the equipment you need without delay. Our fleet includes standard and specialised container types maintained to rigorous standards. We own our stock and manage deliveries with precision, using HIAB crane vehicles to place units exactly where you need them. You deal directly with UK-based professionals who understand the constraints of London delivery sites. ## 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. - [Rent 20ft Containers in Redbridge](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) ![A stack of colorful shipping containers in a storage area under a cloudy sky.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London9_original.jpg) ![Stacked shipping containers in various colors, with a muddy surface reflecting their vibrant hues.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London4_original.jpg) ![A blue shipping container stands in a yard surrounded by various colored containers under a clear blue sky.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London5_original.jpg) ![Stacked shipping containers in red and blue, set against a cloudy sky and greenery in the background.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London6_original.jpg) ![Three stacked shipping containers in vibrant colors, with a clear blue sky backdrop.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London7_original.jpg) ![A stack of colorful shipping containers in a yard under a blue sky, showcasing various textures and colors.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/Shipping-Containers-London8_original.jpg) ![A stack of colorful shipping containers in a storage area under a cloudy sky.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London9_original.jpg) ![Stacked shipping containers in various colors, with a muddy surface reflecting their vibrant hues.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London4_original.jpg) ![A blue shipping container stands in a yard surrounded by various colored containers under a clear blue sky.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London5_original.jpg) ![Stacked shipping containers in red and blue, set against a cloudy sky and greenery in the background.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London6_original.jpg) ![Three stacked shipping containers in vibrant colors, with a clear blue sky backdrop.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London7_original.jpg) ![A stack of colorful shipping containers in a yard under a blue sky, showcasing various textures and colors.](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/media/spgallery/184/thumb/Shipping-Containers-London8_original.jpg) ### 40ft Shipping Containers For larger-volume needs, the 40ft container offers twice the length. These units are ideal for palletised goods and bulky materials. You need significant ground space for these units, so check your site dimensions carefully. - [Rent 40ft Containers in Redbridge](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) ## 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.

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.
