Technical Logistics and Delivery

We deliver using HIAB vehicles equipped with hydraulic cranes. Successful delivery to your premises in Aldridge requires precise site preparation.

Access: A rigid truck (delivering 20ft units) needs approximately 40ft of straight-line space. An articulated truck (delivering 40ft units) requires around 100ft. Routes must be free of low-hanging branches (minimum 13ft 6in clearance).
Ground: You must place the container on level, hard-standing ground such as concrete or paving. Uneven ground causes the structure to twist (rack), which jams the doors. If positioning on softer ground, use railway sleepers under the corner posts to distribute the weight.

Available Container Types

We supply various configurations to suit different cargo and storage needs in Aldridge:

General Storage: 20ft Shipping Containers and 40ft Shipping Containers.
Cold Storage: 20ft Refrigerated Containers and 40ft Refrigerated Containers.
Top Loading: 20ft Open Top Containers and 40ft Open Top Containers.
Oversized Cargo: 20ft Flat Rack Containers and 40ft Flat Rack Containers.

Planning Permission in Walsall

Shipping containers are generally classified as temporary structures. However, if you intend to keep a container on your site in Aldridge for a prolonged period, or if it is close to a highway, you may require planning permission. Regulations are stricter in Conservation Areas.

We recommend verifying your specific situation with the local authority before purchase. You can access guidance and submit applications through the Walsall Council planning department.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a shipping container cost in Aldridge?

Container prices fluctuate based on global steel prices and supply chain availability. New "one-trip" containers command a premium over used units due to their pristine condition. We provide transparent, up-to-date pricing upon request. Please use our quote form for a precise figure, including delivery to Aldridge.

Should I buy or hire?

Buy for long-term use (typically over 18 months) or if you plan to modify the unit. Hiring a storage container in Aldridge is more economical for temporary storage needs.

Can I inspect the container before purchase?

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 Aldridge, it is not legally required, though it confirms structural integrity.
