Container Hire Options
We stock a robust fleet of containers ready for rapid dispatch to Wolverhampton. Hiring is the ideal solution for short-term projects, such as site security during construction, seasonal stock overflow, or house renovations.
- 20ft Storage Containers: The standard choice for most sites. It fits within a typical parking space length (approx 20ft x 8ft) and provides around 1,170 cubic feet of secure space.
- 40ft Storage Containers: Designed for high-volume storage. These units require a large delivery area but offer double the capacity. Ideal for logistics hubs on the Wulfrun Trading Estate.
Security and Condition
Our hire fleet is maintained to strict standards. Unlike some “shipping” grade units, our storage containers are inspected to ensure they are suitable for static use.
- Wind and Watertight: We guarantee the roof and door seals are intact, keeping your goods dry.
- Secure: Every hire unit comes with a high-security lockbox. This steel cowl covers the padlock, protecting it from bolt cutters and drills.
- Clean Interiors: We ensure the floors are clear and the interiors are tidy before dispatch.

Delivery to Wolverhampton
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
To ensure a successful delivery to your premises:
- Ground Conditions: The truck requires hard-standing ground, such as concrete or tarmac. We cannot drive on soft grass, mud, or loose soil as the vehicle may sink.
- Vehicle Access: A 20ft unit requires a rigid truck, while a 40ft unit needs an articulated lorry. Navigating narrow residential streets or tight industrial yards requires planning. If you are unsure, send us photos of the site.
- Overhead Clearance: Ensure there are no low-hanging cables or trees in the area where the crane will operate.
Planning and Placement
Hired containers are generally classed as temporary structures. For many commercial applications, they fall under Permitted Development. However, if you plan to place a unit in a residential area or a visible location for an extended period, regulations may apply.
We recommend checking with the City of Wolverhampton Council Planning for specific guidance. We advise placing the container on railway sleepers or concrete blocks to maintain airflow under the floor and prevent corrosion.
