Hiring is the ideal solution for temporary needs, such as site security during construction, seasonal stock overflow, or home renovations. - **[20ft Storage Containers](https://shippingcontainersofbirmingham.co.uk/20ft-shipping-container):** The most popular hire unit in Walsall. It fits in a standard parking space length (approx 20ft x 8ft) and provides around 1,170 cubic feet of secure space. - **[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 like **Walsall Enterprise Park**. ## 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, preventing water ingress. - **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 Walsall **Shipping Containers of Birmingham** delivers using HIAB vehicles (trucks with onboard cranes). We lift the container from the vehicle and place it on the ground. ### Site Access Requirements Successful delivery requires preparation: - **Ground Conditions:** The truck needs hard-standing ground, such as concrete or tarmac. 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. Deliveries to narrow streets in **Caldmore** or residential driveways 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 [Walsall Council Planning](https://go.walsall.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control) for specific guidance. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### How much does it cost to hire a container in Walsall?
