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. - [Rent 20ft Containers in Waltham Forest](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 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. - [Rent 40ft Containers in Waltham Forest](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 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. Review our [Delivery Guidelines](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/delivery-guidelines) to check if your site is ready. ### 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](https://www.walthamforest.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control) 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.

We typically deliver within 3 to 5 working days from cleared payment. We have depots serving East London, so we can sometimes arrange faster delivery depending on truck availability. Call us to check the schedule. #### Are the containers damp-proof? Our containers are wind and watertight. However, condensation can form if you store damp goods or if the temperature fluctuates. We recommend using moisture traps (Absorpoles) or lining the container if you store sensitive items like fabrics or paper. #### Can you deliver to a residential street? Yes, provided there is enough space for the Hiab truck. The truck needs to be about 30-60ft long and 9ft wide. We cannot block the road without a permit. You must ensure there are no overhead cables or tree branches obstructing the crane arm. #### Do I need to be there for delivery? Yes. Someone must be present to sign for the delivery and direct the driver to the exact spot. If the driver cannot access the site, you may be charged for a failed delivery. #### What condition are the hire containers in? Our hire fleet consists of "Wind and Watertight" containers. They are structurally sound and secure. They may have cosmetic dents or surface rust consistent with their use, but they will keep your goods dry and safe.
