Container Hire in Waltham Forest

We offer flexible container rental for short-term projects and ongoing storage needs. Hiring is a cost-effective way to gain immediate, secure space without the expense of a permanent building. Our fleet includes clean, watertight units ready for delivery.

Rental Terms: We require a minimum hire period of 8 weeks. You pay a collection deposit at the start of the contract, which covers the transport cost to remove the container when you finish. This ensures a transparent process with no hidden fees at off-hire.

Select the Right Container Size

Waltham Forest has a mix of Victorian terraced streets and industrial zones. Choosing the correct container size is vital for successful delivery and site access.

20ft Shipping Containers

The 20ft container is our most popular rental unit. It fits within a standard parking space length (20ft x 8ft) and provides approximately 1,170 cubic feet of storage. It is ideal for storing furniture, tools, or archives.

40ft Shipping Containers

The 40ft container offers double the volume. It is standard for large-scale storage and palletised goods. Delivery requires significant space, as the truck needs a straight run of approximately 100ft to unload. This size is best suited for industrial estates like Argall Avenue.

Security and Build Quality

We build our containers to keep out thieves and bad weather. They are designed to withstand the rigours of international shipping, making them perfect for secure static storage.

• Corten Steel Structure: We use weathering steel (Corten) for the walls and frame. This material resists rust, ensuring the container remains strong for decades.
• Lock Boxes: We fit a steel lock box to the cargo doors of our hire fleet. This shroud covers your padlock, protecting it from bolt cutters and drills.
• Watertight Seals: We inspect the rubber door gaskets and roof to ensure the unit is wind and watertight. This protects your goods from rain and damp.

Hiab Delivery to Waltham Forest

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 truck can park parallel to the drop zone.

Access Requirements: The truck is large (approx. 9ft wide). We cannot drive on soft ground, such as grass or soil, because the vehicle weighs over 15 tonnes and will sink. You must provide hard standing, such as concrete, tarmac, or compacted hardcore.

Parking Restrictions: Waltham Forest has many Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs). If we need to unload from the road, you must arrange a parking suspension or permit with the council in advance.

Planning Permission in Waltham Forest

Shipping containers are portable, temporary structures. In many cases, you do not need planning permission if the container is on private land. However, rules are stricter if the container is visible from the street, located in a conservation area, or will be in place for a long time. Check with Waltham Forest Council Planning for local guidance.

Buy a Shipping Container

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