Shipping Containers in Hammersmith

Container Sales in Hammersmith

Buying a shipping container provides your business with a permanent asset. We stock a wide range of new and used containers, ready for delivery to Hammersmith. We ensure every unit meets strict quality standards, providing weather-proof protection for your goods.

New (One-Trip) Containers

Our new containers are manufactured in China and shipped to the UK with a single cargo load. This process, known as "one-trip," reduces transport costs while ensuring the unit arrives in near-pristine condition. These units feature factory-fitted lockboxes and high-quality marine-grade paint. They are the preferred choice for visible locations, such as retail forecourts or schools.

Used (Wind and Watertight) Containers

Used containers have been through international shipping lines. While they exhibit cosmetic wear, such as surface rust, dents, and shipping livery, they remain structurally sound. We inspect them to ensure they are wind and watertight. These units offer a cost-effective solution for industrial sites or long-term archives where function outweighs aesthetics.

Container Dimensions and Options

We supply standard ISO sizes. Check the dimensions to ensure the unit fits your designated space.

20ft Containers

The 20ft unit is the industry standard for static storage. It offers approximately 1,170 cubic feet of space, fitting neatly into a standard parking bay (excluding delivery access requirements).

Container Hire Services

For temporary storage needs, hiring is often more practical than purchasing. We offer flexible rental terms for customers in Hammersmith, suitable for home renovations, seasonal retail stock, or construction site tool storage.

Hire Terms

Our hire agreements operate with a minimum term of 8 weeks. This flexibility lets you keep the container as long as needed without a long-term contract. We calculate delivery and collection costs upfront, ensuring total transparency.

All hire units are inspected to ensure they are clean, dry, and secure. We typically supply these in a neutral colour with a lockbox included as standard. View our container hire options in Hammersmith.

Security and Build Specifications

Shipping containers are designed to protect cargo in harsh marine environments. This construction makes them the most secure form of portable storage.

Corten Steel Construction

We build our containers using Corten steel (weathering steel). This material exhibits high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. If the paint is damaged, the steel forms a protective oxide layer that prevents rust from penetrating, ensuring a long lifespan.

Secure Lockboxes

A lockbox is a steel shroud welded to the cargo doors. It covers the padlock and lug, preventing access to the shackle. This stops thieves from using bolt cutters or angle grinders to bypass the lock. For maximum security, we recommend using a C-shaped high-security padlock with the lockbox.

Flooring

Standard ISO containers feature 27mm marine plywood flooring. This robust floor is treated to resist moisture and pests, capable of supporting heavy loads, including forklifts (depending on payload rating).

HIAB Delivery to Hammersmith

We deliver containers using HIAB trucks equipped with an onboard crane. The driver lifts the container from the vehicle bed and places it on the ground alongside the truck.

Access Requirements in W6 and W14

Hammersmith presents specific challenges with busy high streets, red routes, and resident parking zones. Successful delivery requires preparation:

• Parking Suspensions: If your site relies on on-street unloading, you may need to arrange a parking bay suspension with the council.
• Width and Height: The truck needs approximately 10ft (3m) of width and clear overhead space. Trees, cables, and balconies must not obstruct the crane arm.
• Hard Standing: Containers must sit on a hard, level surface, such as concrete or paving. We cannot place containers on grass or soft soil, as they will sink and rack (twist), causing door jams.
