/ 8ft Shipping Containers
The 8ft shipping container is becoming increasingly popular as a storage or transport solution. An 8ft shipping container is the perfect space saving option; it is compact but has enough space to store a variety of equipment or goods. These practical containers are often used to safely store furniture, outdoor equipment, gardening tools, documents and much more. They might be small, but they pack in much more storage room than you might think.

Can we arrange our own transport?
Yes, you can if you are buying your container. If you are hiring, we prefer to arrange transport so we know where the container is placed. If the transport is arranged by the customer for hire, we would usually charge a bond. Please remember we do deal with a lot of transport companies and in most cases would be able to offer the best possible transport rate. Chains are also required to transport an 8ft shipping container!
