Storage Containers for hire in Cleethorpes

Container Hire Options

We stock a robust fleet of containers ready for rapid dispatch. Hiring is the ideal solution for temporary needs, such as seasonal stock storage for seafront businesses, site security during renovations, or overflow management.

  • 20ft Storage Containers: The most popular hire unit in Cleethorpes. It fits in a standard parking space length (approx 20ft x 8ft) and provides around 1,170 cubic feet of secure space. Ideal for residential driveways or smaller commercial plots.
  • 40ft Storage Containers: Designed for high-volume storage. These units offer double the capacity but require significant space for the delivery vehicle to manoeuvre. Ideal for larger industrial sites near Humberston.

Security and Condition

Our hire fleet is maintained to strict standards. Unlike some sale units which may be "shipping grade," our storage hire units are inspected to ensure they are suitable for static use.

  • Wind and Watertight: Roof and door seals are intact to prevent water ingress, which is essential for coastal locations exposed to sea spray and wind.
  • Secure: Every hire unit comes with a high-security lockbox (cowl). This steel housing protects the padlock from bolt croppers and drills.
  • Structure: We ensure floors are sound and doors operate smoothly.

Delivery to Cleethorpes

Shipping Containers of Birmingham delivers using HIAB vehicles (trucks with an onboard crane). We lift the container from the vehicle and place it on your ground.

Site Access Requirements

Successful delivery requires preparation, particularly in busy tourist areas or narrow residential streets:

  • Ground Conditions: The truck needs hard-standing ground, such as concrete or tarmac. We cannot drive on soft grass, loose soil, or sand as the vehicle may sink.
  • Vehicle Size: A 20ft unit requires a rigid truck; a 40ft unit needs an articulated lorry. Deliveries to areas with restricted access, such as near Sea View Street, require careful assessment.
  • Clearance: Ensure there are no overhead power lines or low-hanging trees where the crane will operate.

Planning Permission

Hired containers are generally considered temporary structures. For many commercial applications on industrial estates, they fall under Permitted Development. However, if you plan to place a unit in a visible location or a conservation area, regulations may apply. We recommend checking with North East Lincolnshire Council Planning for specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Hire rates depend on the container size and the contract length. Long-term hires typically secure a lower weekly rate. Delivery costs are calculated from our Midlands depot to your specific DN35 postcode. Use our quote form for a precise price.

Is it cheaper to buy or hire?

If you need the container for less than 12 months, hiring a storage container is usually the most economical choice. It avoids upfront capital costs. For long-term requirements, buying a shipping container in Cleethorpes is often a better value. We can help you calculate the break-even point.

Can I inspect the container before delivery?

Our hire fleet maintains high quality. We ensure all units are clean, dry, and secure. If you have specific concerns, we can email photos of the assigned unit type before it departs from our depot.
