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](https://shippingcontainersofmanchester.co.uk/areas-served/oldham/planning-permission) or [Rochdale Planning Permission](https://shippingcontainersofmanchester.co.uk/areas-served/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.
