Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a 20ft container in Salford?

Costs vary depending on condition, availability, and haulage, so we don’t publish fixed rates. Get an accurate figure with a personalised Salford quote.

Is it better to buy or hire?

Hire suits for short-term or uncertain durations. For long-term use or permanent installations, buying often delivers better value. We’ll provide pricing for both options.

How secure are your containers?

Very secure. Heavy-gauge steel construction, robust door gear and a fitted lockbox come as standard. We can also supply high-security padlocks and further security upgrades.

Do containers need maintenance?

Minimal. Marine-grade paint and Corten steel keep them tough; occasional hinge lubrication helps doors run smoothly over time.

Do I need planning permission in Salford?

Often not for temporary use, but longer-term or prominent placements may require permission. See our Salford planning guide or speak to the council.

How are containers delivered?

By a HIAB crane truck, which offloads and positions the unit on your site. You’ll need firm, level ground and clear overhead access.

Where should I place my container?

Use level, solid ground (concrete, tarmac or well-compacted gravel). We usually offload from the truck’s side; clear access helps us place it perfectly.

Can I purchase my hired container later?

Potentially buy-out options may be available on selected hire units. Ask the team for current availability.

Do you buy back containers in Salford?

Yes, subject to condition and demand. We’ll assess and make a fair offer at current market rates.

How many pallets fit in a 20ft container?

As a guide, up to 10 standard pallets (orientation dependent). For a precise fit, please refer to our size pages for 20ft and 40ft.

Can I customise my container?

Absolutely, insulation, lining, electrics, doors, windows, ramps, and paint are all available. See our modification services.

How quickly can you deliver in Salford?

Typically, within a few working days, subject to stock and access checks. We’ll confirm a firm date when you book.
