Straightforward Storage & Value That Adds Up
From construction sites and engineering yards to retail back‑of‑house and home renovations, a 20ft container solves storage quickly without the cost and faff of building something permanent. Does stock rotate often? Hire. Long‑term project? Buy. Either way, you get a robust, secure unit delivered and precisely placed in Brighouse by a Hiab crane.
- Versatile: Short‑ or long‑term use for tools, materials, pallets, machinery and seasonal stock.
- Durable: Corten steel construction; fully wind‑ and watertight for year‑round protection.
- Cost‑effective: Lower total cost than sheds or off‑site storage, with resale potential on purchase.
- Secure: Supplied with an integral lock box; upgrade with high‑security padlocks and alarms.
- Eco‑friendly option: Choosing a quality used unit extends the lifecycle and reduces embodied carbon.
Want alternatives for awkward or temperature‑sensitive loads? See 40ft open‑top, 40ft refrigerated, and 40ft flat‑rack options.
Buy or Hire – New or Used
Pick the condition that matches your budget and presentation needs:
- One‑Trip (New): Minimal wear, best presentation and longest service life.
- Cargo‑Worthy: Certified for transport; great balance of cost and condition.
- Wind & Watertight: Excellent value for static storage on site.
Popular upgrades: repainting (brand colours), ply‑lining & insulation, vents, electrics & LED lighting, shelving & racking, ramps and anti‑condensation treatments.
