Hire / Rent a Shipping Container

Whether you need one for a few weeks, a few years or indefinitely - ST Containers offer hire containers throughout Sussex and beyond.  

Whatever size or style of container you need our team will ensure yours is just perfect.

Renting (or Hiring) a shipping container is an extremely cost-effective and popular way of gaining extra storage for construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, businesses and homeowners.

A great alternative to purchasing outright, container hire is the perfect option for many customers who don’t require ownership.

With no minimum term, and options available for short and long term rental we are able to provide the right solution to your onsite storage problem – whether your needs are commercial, or residential, container hire is available from just £10.00 per week.

Hire your shipping container through ST Containers in the knowledge that your delivery will be hassle free and expertly carried out by our parent company Sussex Transport, a leading, and expert provider of container transport and logistics services.

We've even made getting a quote super simple and you can pinpoint on a map exactly where you want your container to be placed.

Meanwhile, if you'd rather talk or get a call back, then give us a call today on 01903 751100 or complete the quick contact form at the base of this page.

Are there things I need to know about regarding delivery and positioning?

There sure is, and the more you are aware of the easier the delivery and collection will be. We've created a great lifting and delivery guide which aims to ensure you know all you need to know for delivery (or collection) day.

What will you be storing in the container?

One container is not the same as another container – they all have different ages and could have been used for a plethora of different purposes. Think about what you are using the container for. For many, it will be simple storage of items, whether it be domestic or commercial. However, if you are using it especially for a food-based industry then you need to ensure that the container has been classified as ‘food standard’ before purchasing. If you need some inspiration on how to use a converted container, read some of our suggestions.

How old is the container?

We always say that the newer a container, the better. There is less risk of rusting or structural deficiencies, especially if the container has been used for shipping for a large portion of its life. It may be slightly more costly, but a one trip (or nearly new) 10 year old container will provide you with greater storage life and security than a 210 year old container.

How do I get the container to where it needs to be?

This is one of the key concerns we have found; the costs of moving the container can be high, especially if the company does not have their own transport arm or methods of transferring the container. 

Thankfully, at ST Containers we have a transport fleet we can call on to ensure that your container will not only get to where you want it, but using a system called what3words, we can ensure it can go exactly where you want it. Not only that, but we have the experience to move anything, anywhere – no job is too complicated for our experienced and knowledgeable team.

Who should I rent the container from?

Quite simply, go for reputation. Ensure that the company you purchase from has a solid reputation for providing good-quality containers. You want to ensure that, like anything, you are getting good value for your money and the company you purchase from are able to deliver on their promises…and deliver the container ideally too.

Research reputable companies…or just come to us – we have the pedigree and experience to be able to not only match, but exceed your expectations!
