Storage Containers for hire in Nottingham

Container Hire Options

We stock reliable units ready for rapid dispatch to Nottingham. Hiring is the ideal solution for temporary storage needs, such as site security during renovations or seasonal stock management.

20ft Storage Containers: The industry standard. Fits in a single parking bay length and offers approximately 1,170 cubic feet of secure space. Perfect for storing tools, machinery, or household furniture.
40ft Storage Containers: High-capacity units for large-scale projects. These require significant space for delivery but offer unbeatable volume for warehousing or logistics.

Condition and Security

Unlike sale containers, which vary by grade, our hire fleet is maintained to a high standard. Every container sent to Nottingham is:

Wind and Watertight: Guaranteed to keep contents dry.
Structurally Sound: Capable of withstanding heavy use.
Secure: Fitted with a lock box (cowl) to protect the padlock from bolt cutters.

Delivery to Nottingham

We use HIAB crane vehicles to deliver and offload your container. Shipping Containers of Birmingham manages the logistics, ensuring safe placement on your site.

Access Requirements

Successful delivery requires firm ground and clear access.

Clearance: Ensure there are no overhead cables or tree branches where the crane will operate.
Ground Conditions: The truck needs hard-standing (concrete or tarmac). We cannot drive on soft grass or mud as the vehicle may sink.
Space: A 20ft unit requires a rigid truck, while a 40ft unit needs an articulated lorry. Access routes through tight areas, such as The Lace Market or narrow residential streets, must be assessed beforehand.

Planning and Placement

Hired containers are temporary structures, which often simplify planning requirements. However, if the container will be visible to the public or placed in a conservation area, rules may apply. We recommend checking with the Nottingham City Council Planning department if you are unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a container in Nottingham?

Hire rates depend on container size and contract length. Long-term hires attract lower weekly rates. Delivery charges are calculated from our Midlands depot to your specific NG postcode. Use our quote form for an accurate price.

Is it better to hire or buy?

If you need storage for less than 12 months, hiring a storage container is usually more cost-effective. It avoids the upfront capital cost and depreciation. If your need is permanent, you should consider buying a shipping container instead.

What condition are the hire containers in?

Our hire fleet consists of "storage grade" or "new" units. They are clean, dry, and secure. We ensure the doors work smoothly and the seals are intact. We can provide photos of the specific unit type you will receive upon request.

How quickly can you deliver?

We hold stock in our Midlands depots. For standard units, we can often deliver to Nottingham within 3 to 5 working days once payment and paperwork are complete.
