6 Ways Hiring a Shipping Container Solves Your Self-Storage Woes

Looking for a secure, cost-effective way to manage your storage needs? Hiring a shipping container could be the perfect answer. Here's how container hire ticks all the right boxes!

1. Flexible for Short-Term or Long-Term Storage

Shipping containers are incredibly versatile. Whether moving house, undergoing renovations, or needing extra space, you can hire a container for as little or as long as you like. And if your needs change, buying later is always an option.

2. Built to Withstand the Toughest Conditions

Constructed from reinforced steel and designed to survive the brutal conditions of sea travel, containers are perfect for facing the unpredictable British weather. Plus, heavy-duty locks and tamper-proof designs are just as effective at keeping out vandals and pests.

3. Surprisingly Spacious Interiors

Don't let their modest appearance fool you. A 20ft container can easily fit the contents of a two-bedroom house! Whether you need to store household items, garden furniture, or business equipment, containers provide unbeatable space for the price. Need something smaller or larger? We offer 8ft, 10ft, 20ft, 30ft, and even 40ft containers to match your needs.

4. Easy to Relocate

One major advantage of shipping containers is their portability. Need to move your storage? No problem. Containers are built for transport by truck, rail, ship, or even plane, making them the ideal solution for businesses and individuals on the move.

5. Customisable to Fit Your Lifestyle

Today's containers aren't just empty steel boxes. Add shelving for neat organisation, insulation for sensitive items, lighting for nighttime access, or even openside units for more effortless loading with forklifts. Ideally, your container can be tailored to suit your storage needs.

6. Smarter Than Traditional Sheds or Storage Units

Compared to flimsy DIY sheds or expensive off-site storage rooms, containers win hands down. They're strong, stylish, maintenance-free, and can add a rugged industrial charm to your property. Plus, no assembly is required; your container is ready to use when delivered!

What a refreshing experience

What a totally, refreshingly, brilliant company to deal with. They do what they say they will do at a time they say they will do it. Completely up front about everything: quality, cost, delivery etc. Nothing hidden. They accommodate the customer as far as humanly possible and their communications are spot on. I wish more companies were like this one.

20' x 8' Container Delivery

The service from this company was excellent. We were working to tight deadlines and Jeremy was incredibly prompt in his communication, from the initial quote to the follow up email, to check everything had been received. He phoned the haulier and arranged a delivery around our schedule and Andy (the driver), kept us informed, so we knew exactly when he was arriving.

A professional company, that I would recommend highly.
