Hiring is the ideal solution for temporary requirements, such as secure tool storage during construction, seasonal stock management, or home renovations. - **[20ft Storage Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/20ft-shipping-container):** The most popular hire unit in Lincoln. It fits within a standard parking space length (approx 20ft x 8ft) and provides roughly 1,170 cubic feet of secure space. Perfect for driveways or smaller commercial plots. - **[40ft Storage Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/40ft-shipping-container):** 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 **Sadler Road**. ## Security and Condition Our hire fleet is maintained to strict standards. We understand that security is paramount for our Lincoln customers. - **Weatherproof:** Roof and door seals are intact, preventing water ingress and keeping your goods dry. - **Secure:** Every hire unit comes with a high-security lockbox (cowl). This steel housing protects the padlock from bolt croppers, drills, and tampering. - **Structure:** We ensure floors are sound and doors operate smoothly for easy access. ## Delivery to Lincoln **Shipping Containers of Birmingham** delivers using HIAB vehicles (trucks with an onboard crane). We lift the container from the vehicle and place it on the ground. ### Site Access Requirements Lincoln’s mix of historic streets (especially Uphill) and modern industrial zones requires careful planning: - **Ground Conditions:** The truck needs hard-standing ground, such as concrete, tarmac, or compacted hardcore. We cannot drive on soft grass, mud, or loose soil as the vehicle may sink. - **Vehicle Size:** A 20ft unit requires a rigid truck; a 40ft unit needs an articulated lorry. Access to tight spots in the **Bailgate** area or narrow terraced streets must be assessed beforehand. - **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 residential location or a conservation area (particularly near the **Cathedral Quarter**), regulations may apply. We recommend checking with the [City of Lincoln Council Planning](https://www.lincoln.gov.uk/planning) department for specific guidance. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### How much does it cost to hire a container in Lincoln?
