Container Disposal

When it comes to storing your company belongings, a storage container can be a convenient and cost-effective solution for additional storage. Whether you need extra space for seasonal items, tools, or longterm document storage for compliance, a storage container can provide secure and accessible storage on your business. Buying a storage container is not quite as straightforward as purchasing any other household item. Here we will guide you through the important factors to consider when buying or longterm hire of a storage container.

Size

The size of the storage container you need will depend on what you plan to store in it. Standard sizes range from 10 to 40 feet in length, with the most common sizes being 20 and 40 feet. Consider the height of the container, too, as some are extra-tall container and can provide extra storage space. Before you buy, measure the space where you plan to keep the container to ensure it will fit.

Material

Storage containers are typically made of either steel or aluminum. Steel containers are more durable and resistant to weather and vandalism, at Container Disposal we prefer the supply of steel ISO shipping containers for their durability and increased security.

Condition

There are three main categories of storage containers: new, used, and refurbished. New containers are more expensive but offer the best condition and durability, one time use containers come from overseas and are the ideal storage solution with lockboxes fitted for additional security. Used containers are cheaper but may have some wear and tear, such as dents and rust. At Container Disposal we work directly with the Docks for access to the very best used containers. Refurbished containers are used containers that have been repaired and repainted to look and function like new.

Delivery and Placement

Consider how the container will be delivered to your property and where it will be placed. Container Disposal provides a comprehensive HIAB delivery service using our crane trucks, and flatbed trucks. We work with you to make sure the delivery method will work for your property and ensure that the delivery team has enough clearance to maneuver the container into place. If you plan to use the container for storage, we recommend it be placed in a convenient location for easy access.

Price

The cost of a storage container can vary depending on its size, material, condition, and delivery. New one time use containers are typically more expensive, however due to global demand, there are some excellent rates available across our national network. The price of delivery can also add to the total cost where we provide a competitive price to provide the best deal for your needs and budget. Should a longterm hire solution better suit then we can provide this also which provides all the benefits of the container storage without the initial capital expense.
