Delivery & Unloading Options of Containers
We deliver our containers UK-wide using either crane-equipped HIAB lorries or flatbed lorries. If you share your site details with us, we can assess the access conditions and recommend the safest and most suitable unloading solution.
If you have a forklift or similar equipment available on site, a flatbed delivery may be the most cost-effective option. However, if you don’t have machinery or would prefer a hassle-free, fully managed service, we can deliver and offload the container for you using a HIAB crane.
With 13 depots across the UK, our delivery times are among the best in the industry.
No Access? No Problem – Flat Pack Containers for Hard-to-Reach Sites
If your site has restricted vehicle access or tight turns where larger lorries may struggle, we have got you covered! If traditional monoblock welded storage containers are not suitable due to access limitations, we can offer our flat-pack containers as an ideal alternative.
Flat-pack containers are delivered in separate sections, allowing you to carry the panels manually and assemble them on site. This provides a flexible, practical, and secure storage solution for tight, hard-to-reach, and space-restricted locations.
You can find more details about our flat-pack storage containers below.
