Storage Containers in Islington

Container Hire in Islington

Hiring is the right choice for temporary needs. You avoid the cost of purchasing and can return the unit when your project ends. We require a minimum hire period of eight weeks. You must also pay a collection deposit upfront, which covers the transport cost to remove the empty container later.

Our hire fleet includes 20ft containers and 40ft units. We clean and inspect every unit before dispatch to ensure it is wind and watertight.

Specialist Hire Options

• Refrigerated Containers: Ideal for catering events or cold storage during kitchen refits.
• Open Top Containers: Designed for loading heavy machinery or materials from above using a crane.
• Flat Racks: Suitable for oversized cargo that does not fit inside a standard box.

Buy Shipping Containers

Buying a container gives you a permanent asset. You can modify it, paint it, or add shelving to suit your workflow. We sell both new and used containers.

• New (One-Trip) Containers: These are manufactured in China and make one trip to the UK. They are pristine, making them perfect for high-visibility locations or conversion projects.
• Used Containers: These have spent years in global shipping. They will have dents and surface rust, but they remain structurally sound and weather-proof. They are a cost-effective choice for secure tool or stock storage.

Security and Construction

Security is the primary function of our containers. We build them from Corten steel. This material resists corrosion and forms a protective layer when exposed to the weather. It stands up to the UK climate for decades.

To deter theft, we fit lock boxes to our containers. A lock box is a steel shroud that covers the padlock and shackle. It prevents thieves from using bolt cutters or angle grinders to force entry. Combined with heavy-duty doors and rubber seals, your contents remain safe and dry.

Delivery Access in Islington

Delivering to Islington presents challenges. Narrow streets, parked cars, and red routes require careful planning. We use HIAB trucks with onboard cranes to lift the container onto your site. The driver can position the unit over low walls or fences.

You must prepare your site. The ground must be hard and level. Concrete or paving is ideal. Soft soil or grass is not suitable, as the truck will sink into it. You must also check for overhead obstacles. Tree branches and telephone cables can block the crane arm. Read our delivery guidelines to ensure your site is ready.
