Storage Containers
Our secure storage containers provide robust solutions for temporary and permanent storage needs across the UK. Available in multiple sizes including 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft high-cube variants, these containers feature full steel construction, weatherproof insulation, and optional security enhancements. Customers benefit from nationwide delivery options using crane-mounted vehicles or flatbed transport for self-offloading.
Portable Accommodation
Portable accommodation units offer versatile workspace solutions with configurations ranging from basic office units to fully equipped canteens and drying rooms. Available in split office/storage layouts, these units come with integrated heating, lighting, and electrical systems. Customisation options include furniture packages and stacking capabilities with staircases for multi-level setups.
Welfare Units
Welfare units deliver essential facilities for remote worksites without mains utilities. Our static and mobile units incorporate generators, water storage, and waste management systems. Designed for construction and industrial sites, these self-contained units provide toilet facilities, changing areas, and break rooms with eco-friendly operation and easy deployment.
Container Delivery
Nationwide container delivery operates through our UK depot network and logistics partners. We utilise crane-mounted vehicles for direct placement or flatbed trucks for customer-managed offloading. Delivery coverage extends to all major UK cities with stock available in Glasgow, Birmingham, and Felixstowe depots for rapid dispatch.
COSHH Stores
COSHH-compliant storage containers provide safe containment solutions for hazardous substances. These specially designed units feature ventilation systems, spill containment, and fire-resistant construction.
