We ensure every unit we sell meets rigorous structural standards. ### Corten Steel Construction Manufacturers build these units from Corten steel (weathering steel). This material forms a protective surface layer that prevents rust from penetrating the metal, even in damp conditions near the Thames. ### Security Features We recommend fitting a lock box to your container. This steel shroud covers your padlock and shackle, protecting them from bolt croppers and angle grinders. It significantly increases the security of your unit. ## Delivery to Gravesend We deliver using Hiab trucks equipped with an onboard crane. The driver lifts the container off the side of the vehicle and places it on your ground. This eliminates the need for you to hire a separate crane. ### Site Access Requirements The delivery truck needs clear access to reach your drop-off point. For a standard 20ft container, the driver needs approximately 60 feet of straight-line space. For a 40ft unit, this increases to 110 feet. The truck width is 8ft, but the stabiliser legs extend further, so we ask for a gateway width of at least 12ft. ### Ground Conditions You must place the container on hard standing, such as concrete, paved areas, or compacted hard core. We cannot lift onto grass, mud, or soft soil, as the truck may sink. If your ground is uneven, we suggest you use railway sleepers or paving slabs under the corners to keep the unit level. If a container is not level, the doors may twist and jam.

We offer rental periods as short as 8 weeks. This option suits temporary construction sites or seasonal retail needs in Gravesend.

We typically deliver within 3 to 5 working days from the time of order. If you have an urgent requirement, please contact us to check availability. #### Do I need planning permission? Shipping containers are often classed as temporary structures and may not require planning permission. However, rules vary based on location and use. We recommend you check with Gravesham Borough Council to be certain. #### Can you lift the container over a fence? Yes, our Hiab cranes can lift over fences and low walls, provided the truck can park close enough (parallel) to the obstacle. The reach is limited by the container's weight. Please send us photos of your site so we can assess the lift. #### Is the container waterproof? Yes. We guarantee that all our sales containers are wind and watertight. The heavy-duty rubber door seals keep rain out, ensuring your goods stay dry. See more [FAQs](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/faqs).
