Frequently Asked Questions
What is a non-CSC-plated container?
A non-CSC-plated container is not certified for international transport. It's ideal for domestic, static storage use on-site and typically more cost-effective than CSC-certified units.
Can I place this container directly on the ground?
Yes, though for best results, place it on flat, solid ground such as concrete or compacted hardcore. This prevents warping and improves airflow underneath.
Do I need planning permission?
In most cases, no containers used temporarily for storage don’t require planning. If you are unsure, please check your local council’s guidance or visit our pages, such as Oldham Planning Permission or Rochdale Planning Permission.
Is it secure enough for valuable equipment?
Absolutely. Each container includes a steel lock box and can be fitted with high-security padlocks. Additional anti-theft features are also available on request.
How soon can you deliver?
We aim to deliver within 48 to 72 hours, depending on stock and location. Contact us now to confirm availability in your area.

Great service and good value
Very helpful staff who answered any questions I had and provided a quote promptly for the hire of a storage container. The whole process from my initial enquiry, to ordering a container and it being delivered to site was straightforward and efficiently handled. The storage container was in a very good, clean condition and good value to hire.
Excellent company - great service
We were messed around by another supplier and so after weeks of waiting to no avail we got a refund and went to these guys. Their communication was excellent and within days we had our container delivered. Container in excellent condition, the delivery driver was very helpful and arrived on time, and the total price was the cheapest we could fine. Highly recommended.
From initial contact through to…
From initial contact through to delivery the whole experience was excellent. In particular promised phone calls to arrange delivery and access issues happened on time and everything went smoothly.
