You can modify it, paint it, or add shelving to create a workshop or archive. We sell both new and used units. - **New (One-Trip) Containers:** These units have made one journey from the factory. They are pristine, rust-free, and ideal for sites where appearance matters, such as schools or retail forecourts. - **Used Containers:** These have been used on global shipping lines. They will show signs of wear, such as dents and surface rust, but they remain structurally sound. We inspect every used unit to ensure it is wind and watertight.

We build our containers from Corten steel. This material resists corrosion and withstands physical attacks. It forms a protective layer that prevents rust from damaging the container's structure, ensuring it lasts for decades. To deter theft, we fit lock boxes to most units. A lock box is a heavy 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. ## HIAB Delivery in Lambeth Delivering to Lambeth requires precision. We use HIAB trucks equipped with hydraulic cranes. The driver lifts the container off the truck and places it on your prepared ground. This allows us to position units over low walls, fences, or into tight spaces. You must prepare the site before we arrive. The ground needs to be hard and level. Concrete, tarmac, or paving slabs are best. Soft grass or soil will cause the truck to sink. You also need to check for overhead hazards, such as power lines or tree branches. Read our [delivery guidelines](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/delivery-guidelines) to ensure your site is ready. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### Do I need planning permission in Lambeth? Lambeth Council generally views shipping containers as temporary structures. However, if you plan to keep the unit for a long time, use it as a workspace, or place it in a conservation area, you likely need permission. We recommend checking with the [Lambeth planning department](https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control) before you order. #### Can you deliver to a site on a Red Route? Many main roads in Lambeth (like the A23 or A3) are Red Routes. We cannot stop on these roads without a dispensation. If your site is on a Red Route, you must arrange a parking suspension or specific delivery slot. Let us know your location when you request a quote. #### How much space do I need for a 20ft container? A 20ft container requires about 60ft of straight-line space for the truck to park and unload. The crane extends from the side, so we also need width clearance. See our [transport page](https://shippingcontainersoflondon.co.uk/learn-more-about/container-transport) for detailed diagrams. #### Are the containers damp-proof? Our containers are water-tight. However, condensation can occur if temperatures change rapidly. If you store sensitive items such as documents or textiles, we suggest using moisture traps or lining the container to prevent moisture.
