Our inventory includes new (one-trip) units for high-visibility sites and used containers for cost-effective storage. All sale containers meet strict structural standards and are guaranteed wind and watertight. For clients exporting goods from Stone, we ensure containers carry a valid CSC plate. This confirms the unit meets the safety standards set by the [International Maritime Organization](https://www.imo.org/en/About/Conventions/Pages/International-Convention-for-Safe-Containers-(CSC).aspx). ![Shipping Containers for sale in Stone](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/images/containerimages/birmingham_shipping_container7.jpg) ## Technical Logistics and Delivery We deliver using HIAB vehicles equipped with hydraulic cranes. Successful delivery to your premises in Stone requires precise site preparation. - **Access:** A rigid truck (for 20ft units) needs ~40ft of straight-line space. An articulated truck (for 40ft units) requires ~100ft. Routes must be free of low-hanging branches (min 13ft 6in clearance). - **Ground:** You must place the container on level, hard-standing ground (concrete or paving). Uneven ground causes the structure to twist, jamming the doors. On softer ground, use railway sleepers to distribute the weight. ## Available Container Types We supply various configurations to suit different cargo needs in Stone: - **General Storage:** [20ft Shipping Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/20ft-shipping-container) and [40ft Shipping Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/40ft-shipping-container). - **Cold Storage:** [20ft Refrigerated Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/20ft-refrigerated-container) and [40ft Refrigerated Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/40ft-refrigerated-container). - **Top Loading:** [20ft Open Top Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/20ft-open-top-container) and [40ft Open Top Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/40ft-open-top-container). - **Oversized Cargo:** [20ft Flat Rack Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/20ft-flat-rack-container) and [40ft Flat Rack Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/40ft-flat-rack-container). ## Planning Permission While shipping containers are often temporary structures, long-term placement near highways or within Conservation Areas in Stone may require permission. We recommend verifying requirements via the [Stafford Borough Council planning department](https://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/planning-public-access). #### How much does a shipping container cost in Stone? Prices fluctuate with the global steel market. New "one-trip" containers cost more than used ones because of their superior condition. Use our [quote form](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/get-container-prices) for a precise figure, including delivery to Stone. #### Should I buy or hire? Buy for long-term use (18+ months) or if you plan to modify the unit. [Hiring a storage container in Stone](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/location/central/rent/storage-container-hire-stone) is more economical for temporary storage needs. #### Can I see the container first? Yes. We can provide high-resolution photos of the specific container allocated to your order before dispatch to ensure it meets your expectations. #### Do I need a CSC plate for storage? No. A CSC plate is required for international transport (exporting). For static storage in Stone, it is not legally required, though it confirms structural integrity.
