Select the Right Container Size

We stock standard ISO sizes to suit different spaces and storage volumes in High Wycombe and across the wider county.

20ft Shipping Containers

The standard 20ft container rental is our most popular option for High Wycombe storage. A 20ft container for rent comfortably fits within the footprint of a single standard car parking space (20ft long by 8ft wide). This size provides approximately 1,170 cubic feet of internal space, which is perfect for site tools, building materials, retail stock, or household furniture. If you want a standard 20ft container for hire or are searching for storage containers to rent near me, this highly adaptable unit is the ideal choice. Check the precise physical limits on our dedicated 20ft container dimensions page.

We supply a full range of specialised 20ft configurations for specific cargo types, including insulated and temperature-controlled options:

• Rent 20ft Containers in High Wycombe
• Rent 20ft Flat Racks
• Rent 20ft Open Tops
• Rent 20ft Refrigerated Containers

40ft Shipping Containers

When a standard 20 container rental does not offer enough room, our 40ft units provide exactly double the storage volume. This size is the logistical standard for large-scale business storage in High Wycombe, giving industrial companies vast capacity for palletised inventory, long steel tracking, and oversized machinery. Before you rent 20ft container space or opt for a larger 40ft unit, check your site ground footprint. A 40ft delivery requires a straight approach run of roughly 100ft for our truck to safely drop the unit. Check the full structural capacity on our 40ft container dimensions page.

Our 40ft fleet covers various specialist commercial styles for immediate hire:

• Rent 40ft Containers in High Wycombe
• Rent 40ft Flat Racks
• Rent 40ft Open Tops
• Rent 40ft Refrigerated Containers

Build Quality and Security Specifications

Every steel storage container hire unit from Shipping Containers of London features rugged maritime build quality. We define the main technical details below so you can choose the best storage container rentals for your property.

• Corten Steel Frame: The outer walls, roof, and doors consist of high-grade Cor-Ten steel. This weathering steel alloy forms a protective layer of surface rust when exposed to rain, which seals the metal beneath and prevents deep structural decay.
• Wind and Watertight Seals: A wind-and-watertight unit features thick rubber door gaskets along the frame edges. When locked, these create an airtight seal that keeps heavy rain, wind, and dust outside, keeping your interior property completely dry.
• Heavy Duty Flooring: Inside each box is a 28 mm-thick marine plywood floor. Supported by sturdy steel crossmembers, this durable flooring carries heavy items and allows pallet trucks to move inside easily.
• Factory-Fitted Lock Boxes: We weld a thick steel lock box over the main door handles of our rental fleet. This metal shroud protects your padlock from bolt cutters, crowbars, and angle grinders.

When checking container storage for rent, note the weight capacities. Tare weight is the weight of the empty steel container before loading. The payload means the maximum weight of goods you can safely store inside. Our standard 20ft and 40ft units offer excellent payload limits for heavy industrial trade use.

HIAB Delivery and Container Storage Area Preparation

We deliver your unit using specialised HIAB vehicles equipped with a powerful hydraulic crane. The driver parks close to your target spot, deploys extending stabiliser outriggers, and swings the heavy steel box directly onto the ground. This professional process avoids the need to arrange a separate crane on site.

To ensure a successful drop, you must check your site approach and access route against the official technical requirements found in the log file named Binder1.pdf. A typical delivery truck measures 9 feet wide and can reach up to 60 feet in length. The entrance gate must provide ample width, and the lane must avoid sharp turns, low arches, or weak bridges.

Ground conditions are highly important. A HIAB truck carries most of its weight at the front, where the crane and engine sit behind the cab. Because of this heavy front axle, we can only drive on firm, level, hard-standing surfaces such as concrete, thick tarmac, or heavily compacted hardcore. Our drivers will not drive across soft grass, loose soil, or playing fields, because the heavy wheels will sink and get stuck. If a vehicle bogs down on soft turf, you will be liable for vehicle recovery fees and any lawn damage.

Your container storage area must be flat and perfectly level before our arrival. If you place a heavy container on an uneven slope, the steel frame can twist slightly over time. This twisting can cause the double cargo doors to jam or become hard to open. We strongly advise placing flat concrete paving slabs or solid timber railway sleepers beneath the four corner castings of the unit. This step elevates the container, keeps the doors perfectly square, and allows air to flow beneath the floor to prevent premature rust.

Container Sales in High Wycombe

If you need permanent space for an industrial yard, agricultural site, or trade compound, buying a container is often more cost-effective than continuous short-term rentals. Owning a container gives you full permission to modify the interior, install heavy racking, fit personnel side-doors, or paint the exterior to match your company branding. You can explore our available sales stock on our dedicated regional page for Sales in High Wycombe.

We split our sales inventory into two clear industrial grades to meet your budget:

1. New (One-Trip) Containers: A one-trip unit is manufactured in a specialist overseas facility and transported to the UK carrying a single cargo load. These arrive in clean condition, with almost no marks or scratches and a fresh single-colour factory finish. They look smart and fit perfectly in prominent spaces like schools, retail parks, or public business grounds.
2. Used Containers: These units have spent years working on international maritime shipping routes. They feature cosmetic surface rust, typical scratches, and minor dents, but they remain completely wind and water-tight. They provide the most affordable option when you need to buy a durable, low-cost unit for an industrial site or secure yard.

If you intend to use your purchased container to transport cargo abroad, it must meet strict export standards. It needs a valid CSC plate, an official safety approval plate affixed to the door, which proves the structure has passed structural checks and is certified safe for global shipping lines.
