Shipping Containers in Lewisham

Buy Shipping Containers

Buying a container gives you a permanent asset. You can modify it for a workspace, use it for long-term archives, or secure your site tools. We stock both new and used units to suit your budget.

• New (One-Trip) Containers: These units are manufactured in Asia and make a single journey to the UK. They are pristine, making them ideal for high-visibility locations such as schools or retail forecourts.
• Used Containers: These have served in global trade. They show signs of wear, such as dents and surface rust, but remain wind and watertight. They are the cost-effective choice for industrial use.

Available Container Sizes

• 20ft Containers: The industry standard. Fits in a parking space and offers 160 sq ft of floor space.
• 40ft Containers: Designed for volume. These units provide double the capacity of a 20ft unit, perfect for palletised goods.
• Specialist Units: We supply flat racks for oversized loads, open tops for crane loading, and refrigerated containers for temperature-sensitive stock.

Hire Shipping Containers

If you need storage for a short time, hiring is a flexible alternative. We offer container hire with a minimum term of just eight weeks. This is perfect for renovations, events, or seasonal stock. Check our Lewisham hire page for availability.

Security and Build Quality

Security is critical. We build our containers from Corten steel. This material resists corrosion and withstands the British weather. It forms a protective layer that prevents rust from damaging the structure.

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

Delivery Across Lewisham

We deliver using HIAB trucks equipped with hydraulic cranes. The driver lifts the container off the truck and places it on the ground. This allows us to position units over fences or into tight spaces common in urban areas.

You must prepare the site. The ground needs to be hard and level. Concrete, paving, or railway sleepers are suitable. Soft grass or soil will cause the truck to sink. You also need to check for overhead hazards. Tree branches and cables can block the crane arm. Read our delivery guidelines to prepare.
