Rent Storage Containers in Enfield

Container Hire Services

Hiring a container is the most cost-effective way to get extra space without committing to a permanent purchase. It suits businesses with seasonal stock fluctuations or construction sites that need secure lock-ups for tools. Our hire terms are simple and transparent.

We require a minimum rental period of eight weeks. This ensures the logistics of delivery and collection remain economical for you. You must also pay a collection deposit upfront. We use this to retrieve the container once you finish with it. If you need the unit for longer, you can extend your hire on a rolling basis. This flexibility lets you adapt to changing project timelines without stress.

Available Container Sizes in Enfield

We stock a range of sizes to match your site constraints and storage volume. Our team inspects every unit before it leaves our depot to guarantee it is wind and watertight.

• 20ft Containers: This is our most popular rental unit. It measures 20ft long by 8ft wide. It fits neatly into a standard parking bay and offers approximately 160 square feet of floor space. It is ideal for storing furniture, garden equipment, or site tools.
• 40ft Containers: These units provide double the capacity. They are best suited for large industrial sites, logistics depots, or major construction projects. You need significant delivery space, but the storage volume is unmatched.
• Specialised Units: We also supply refrigerated containers for temperature-sensitive goods, open tops for crane loading, and flat racks for oversized cargo.

Security and Construction Quality

A shipping container must do two things: keep the weather out and keep thieves out. We ensure our containers meet high standards for both.

Corten Steel Construction

We build our containers from Corten steel. This "weathering steel" is designed to resist corrosion. When exposed to rain and air, it forms a stable, rust-like surface coating that acts as a protective barrier. This prevents the metal from rotting through, even after years of exposure to the British climate. We also coat each unit in marine-grade paint for an extra layer of protection against moisture.

Anti-Theft Lock Boxes

Security is a primary concern for our Enfield customers. Most of our hire units come with a lockbox. This is a heavy steel shroud welded to the container doors. It covers your padlock, making it impossible for thieves to access the shackle with bolt cutters or angle grinders. Combined with heavy-duty hinges and rubber door seals, your goods stay safe and dry.

HIAB Delivery Process

Delivering a multi-tonne steel box requires specialist equipment. We use HIAB trucks to deliver to Enfield. These vehicles feature a hydraulic crane mounted behind the cab. This allows our driver to lift the container off the truck and place it precisely on your site. We can often lift units over low fences or position them at specific angles to suit your available space.

Site Preparation

To ensure a smooth delivery, you must prepare the ground. The truck needs a hard, level surface to park on. Concrete, tarmac, or compacted gravel are ideal. Do not ask us to drive on grass, soft soil, or mud. The truck weighs significantly more than a car and will sink, potentially getting stuck or damaging your land.

You also need to check for overhead hazards. The crane arm needs height to operate. Look for telephone cables, power lines, or overhanging tree branches that might block the lift. Review our delivery guidelines for full technical details on clearance zones.

Buy Shipping Containers in Enfield

Sometimes, renting isn't the best fit. If you need a permanent workshop, a garden room conversion, or long-term archive storage, buying a container is a smart investment. You own the asset and can modify it with windows, electrics, or insulation.

We sell both new and used containers. New "one-trip" containers are pristine and look professional on commercial sites. Used containers are more affordable and perfect for industrial use where function matters more than aesthetics. Check our Enfield sales page for current stock.
