The Best Container for a Construction Site
Match the size to what you're storing, and the condition to how the container will be used.
Pick by use
| Use | Suggested container | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Tools and small materials | 20ft, used | Easy to place, lowest price |
| Larger equipment or more volume | 40ft Standard | About 67 m³ of space |
| Tall or stacked material | 40ft High Cube | Extra headroom, about 76 m³ |
| Site office or customer-facing space | New, modified | Cleaner condition, with doors, windows and insulation on request |
| Short project | Rental | Delivered to your site and collected when you're done |
Buy or rent
If the container is needed for one project, rental means we collect it when you finish. For long-term or repeat use, buying usually makes more sense. See rental vs buying.
Placing it on site
- Choose level, firm ground with a clear route for the delivery truck.
- Keep the doors accessible, and leave room to open them fully.
- Send us your location and we'll advise on delivery. See the delivery guide.
When the project ends
Rented units are collected. If you bought, we buy back containers in fair condition and pay cash on the spot.
For most small-to-mid site tool and material storage, yes. If you need to store larger equipment or more volume, a 40ft may suit better.
We do doors, windows, insulation and custom conversions on request, quoted per unit. See our modified containers page.
