Types of Special Containers

Open Top Containers

Open-top containers feature a removable tarpaulin roof, allowing for easy loading and unloading of oversized items. These containers are ideal for transporting machinery, construction materials, and other large goods that cannot fit through standard container doors.

Flat Rack Containers

Flat rack containers have collapsible sides, perfect for shipping large and heavy loads such as vehicles, boats, and industrial equipment. They offer flexibility and strength, ensuring your cargo is safely transported.

Refrigerated Containers (Reefers)

Refrigerated containers are designed to keep perishable goods at a consistent temperature during transport and storage. These containers are essential for industries such as food and pharmaceuticals, ensuring products remain fresh and safe.

High Cube Containers

High cube containers provide an additional foot of height compared to standard containers, making them ideal for storing and transporting taller items. They are commonly used for bulky cargo and conversion projects where extra headroom is required.

Double Door Containers

Double-door containers have doors at both ends, offering easy access and enhanced flexibility for loading and unloading. These containers are particularly useful for projects that require frequent access to stored goods.

Side-opening containers feature full-length side doors, allowing easy access to goods and efficient loading and unloading. They are ideal for transporting wide or awkwardly shaped items that cannot be loaded through standard end doors.

A few of our Trustpilot reviews.

Amazing Service

Jeremy and the Team were very easy to work with. extremely quick to respond to our needs and the overall delivery was spot on. The container supplied was brand new and exceptionally clean, ready for our items to be stored safely and securely.

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.
