Choosing a container size
At Container Storage we offer 5ft, 8ft, 10ft and 20ft storage containers for hire or purchase. Our storage containers are a cost effective self-storage option when space is limited and storage is a must. Hiring a container is ideal for both domestic or business storage and our storage containers are used for a wide variety of storage purposes.
Containers used for business storage provide easy access storage for excess stock to retailers and traders. We also have made trade and services customers who use them to store tools and equipment.
As personal storage, we have customer using containers as cheap temporary storage of their belongings and furniture during home moves and refurbishments. It is also used for longer term storage of prized possessions like cars, motorbikes, small boats and jet skies that customers simply don’t have space for at home.
