Costs vary depending on condition, availability, and haulage, so we don’t publish fixed rates. Get an accurate figure with a [personalised Salford quote](https://shippingcontainersofmanchester.co.uk/areas-served/salford/container-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](https://shippingcontainersofmanchester.co.uk/areas-served/salford/planning-permission) 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](https://shippingcontainersofmanchester.co.uk/areas-served/salford/20ft-containers) and [40ft](https://shippingcontainersofmanchester.co.uk/areas-served/salford/40ft-containers). ### Can I customise my container? Absolutely, insulation, lining, electrics, doors, windows, ramps, and paint are all available. See our [modification services](https://shippingcontainersofmanchester.co.uk/services). ### How quickly can you deliver in Salford?
