Can you name 10 uses for a shipping/storage container other than transportation?

What could you use a shipping container for? The obvious answer is for the transportation of goods either within the UK or internationally. But nowadays a shipping container is just as likely to be used for another purpose other than transportation. The construction of a container means that it is ideally suited for a large number of different purposes.

For example, do you have a need for any of the following?:-
  • Site accommodation, welfare units, canteens and toilets
  • Temperature controlled environments
  • Chemical storage
  • Additional warehouse space
  • Secure archiving
  • Generator housing
  • Computer control rooms
  • Affordable and quickly assembled housing
  • Recycling Centres
  • Community Centres/Classrooms/Additional Office Space?
All of the solutions to the above can be answered by using various containers.

How to get advice on the right container for you
Hire Containers and its sister company, CS Shipping Containers (which specialises in Sales) are able to advise you as to the best way to get a container ideally suited for your needs. Our experienced staff can advise on conversions or on different models of containers in all sizes, new and second hand.

Hire Containers
There are many different containers available for hire through our UK wide network.
The minimum hire period for all containers is 4 weeks. Transport to site is also available. Containers are available as storage units or can be adapted to welfare units, canteens, toilets as well as site accommodation. Containers are available from as little as £1.25 a day.

Storage Units
Storage Units are available in sizes from 8ft to 40ft. The weather proof corten steel construction makes them extremely strong and vandal resistant. There are additional security features available such as door strengthening, lock cowls and heavy duty hardened steel padlocks.
Welfare Units
The Units comply with HSE regulations which require toilet, washing, changing, personal storage and rest areas that are easily accessible and have heating, lighting and ventilation. They are available as self contained units which can come either with their own generator or can be plugged in to an existing supply on site. The containers are designed to be vandal proof and have steel personnel doors and windows with sliding steel shutters. The interior has GRP interior panels and heavy duty floor covering making the units hard wearing and easy to clean.
Site Offices
Site offices can be supplied with or without jack legs depending on requirements. The containers can be completely used as an office or can be divided into 50/50 office store. They are fully lined and insulated with heating and lighting and there are socket points for computers or mobile phone chargers. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets are available if required.
Toilets
Available as stand alone units with washbasins and heated water the portable toilet facilities are available in a number of configurations depending on what best suits the site. A full servicing package is available, so that the units are practical and hygienic.

Container Sales
The container you buy depends on what you want to use it for. A container that you plan to use for secure steel storage, for example, will not necessarily be suitable for shipping. Different goods may need refrigerated containers, hazardous materials a chemical store and there is also a range of specialist containers for liquids, bulk goods or wide loads. The links on our website will allow you to go to the page relevant to the type of container you require and give you all the information you need.


Container Conversions

Containers are easily adaptable and can provide a practical and cost effective solution to many storage and accommodation needs. Container Conversions can include the addition of windows, heating, air conditioning, insulation, personnel doors, plumbing and electrics - the container can be transformed to suit whatever use the customer wants.
