20ft Storage Container in London

Types of Storage Containers

Standard Storage Containers

Our standard storage containers are available in both 20ft and 40ft sizes, providing robust, flexible storage options. These units, made from durable Corten steel, offer exceptional security and weather resistance, making them ideal for storing goods, equipment, and furniture in any environment. Whether you're a business owner or a homeowner needing extra space, these containers deliver unbeatable reliability.

High Cube Storage Containers

If you're dealing with taller items or require additional vertical space, our high cube containers provide an extra foot of height compared to standard containers. Ideal for bulky or tall equipment, these containers are frequently used by construction firms, manufacturers, and event planners. The increased capacity allows for more efficient use of space, reducing the need for multiple units.

Refrigerated Storage Containers

Our refrigerated containers (reefers) have advanced cooling systems, making them perfect for storing perishable goods such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. These units ensure optimal temperature control, safeguarding sensitive items under any conditions. We also offer energy-efficient models to minimise power usage while maintaining strict temperature controls.

Open Top Storage Containers

Need to store oversized or awkwardly shaped items? Our open-top containers are the solution. These containers feature a removable roof, allowing for easy top-down loading. Commonly used for construction materials, heavy machinery, and scrap metals, open-top containers are a practical choice for industries dealing with large or non-standard items that can't fit through standard doors.

Flat Rack Storage Containers

Flat rack containers are built for transporting heavy, oversized loads, including vehicles, large industrial equipment, and building materials. With collapsible sides, they offer maximum flexibility and ease of access for loading and unloading. Flat racks are often used in the shipping industry, where transporting unusual or heavy goods demands specialised solutions.

Customised Storage Containers

We understand that no two projects are alike. That's why we offer fully customised storage containers to meet your needs. We can modify any standard container to create a bespoke solution if you want to add insulation, windows, ventilation systems, or partition walls. Explore more about our modification capabilities on our converted container page.

Benefits of Using Storage Containers

Unmatched Durability and Security

Our containers are constructed from high-quality materials like Corten steel, which is known for its durability and resistance to rust. Each unit features reinforced hinges, heavy-duty locking systems, and integrated lock boxes, ensuring maximum security for your stored items. For those with higher security needs, we offer a range of security upgrades, including alarm systems and CCTV integration to further protect your goods from theft or damage.

Flexible and Adaptable

One of the biggest advantages of using storage containers is their versatility. Whether you need to turn a container into a mobile office, a workshop, or a climate-controlled storage unit, our containers can be modified to suit your exact requirements. We can add insulation, windows, doors, or even partition walls, making it easy to create multiple compartments for different uses. These modifications allow businesses to save money on costly building extensions while homeowners can create extra living space in their gardens or backyards.

Affordable Storage Solutions

Storage containers offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional storage units. To highlight the savings, here's a comparison between the cost of renting a shipping container versus a traditional storage facility:

Storage Option Monthly Cost (Average) Flexibility
20ft Shipping Container £70 - £100 Flexible location, easy transport
Traditional Storage Unit £120 - £200 Fixed location

As you can see, opting for a storage container provides significant savings, particularly for long-term storage needs. Additionally, if your storage needs change, our containers can be easily moved to a new location, providing unparalleled flexibility.

Eco-Friendly Storage

Repurposing shipping containers is an environmentally friendly option that reduces the demand for new construction materials. At Shipping Containers of London, we take sustainability seriously. Our containers are sourced responsibly, and we offer eco-friendly modifications like solar-powered lighting, green roofing options, and sustainable insulation materials. By choosing a container from us, you're saving on costs and reducing your environmental impact.

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.
