Various grades are available, we can discuss the options available with you and provide you with the most suitable container based on the contents you intend to store and budget.


What process is involved with hiring a shipping container?

It’s a simple process involved, firstly we must determine the following

  • Container size required
  • Hire term
  • Delivery location (unless you’ve got your own transport)

From here we would send rental agreement, terms and conditions and invoice for you to complete and send back, once this is done we would either arrange delivery or if you’ve got your own transport release details to collect container.
