How to choose a shipping container

How to choose a shipping container. Indicative prices in GBP. Transport and unloading to confirm for your site.

Measure objects and their access route: external footprint does not establish internal space or door clearance. Compare height too, especially for converted or refrigerated models.

Specify destination, access and desired equipment. Request recent photos, actual measurements and a proposal detailing container, taxes, transport and unloading. Your project for United Kingdom: use this guide to prepare placement alongside the technical container choice. Include the building or site name when it helps identify the correct entrance. State the space available for manoeuvring and leaving after placement. To start comparing a specific reference, see Container 20 ft Standard · Used · last trip · Beige.

Prepare your address

Postcode · Format example
SW1A 1AA
Local format
Full postcode with both parts

Give the full postcode and post town, with the building number or name. The first part of the postcode alone does not locate the site entrance.

From truck to final position

Describe gate width, manoeuvring space, ground conditions and overhead cables or branches. Say whether you have lifting equipment or need a crane truck.

Prepare for delivery

Delivery feasibility, vehicle, unloading and timing are confirmed for the supplied address. Selecting a country does not confirm local availability.
