What Container Storage Is Best For
Suitable Items for Container Storage
Container storage is best suited to tools, trade equipment, building materials, business stock, bikes, seasonal garden items, and durable household belongings that don’t require an indoor climate-controlled environment. For furniture, documents, or sensitive items, indoor self storage rooms are a better fit.
Are These Shipping Containers?
Yes. We use secure steel shipping containers, the same weatherproof construction used in commercial freight, adapted for personal and business storage. At Grays we offer 20ft containers. At South Ockendon we offer 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft units.
- Drive-up access for fast loading and unloading
- 24/7 gated entry issued after booking
- Robust steel containers suitable for practical storage
- Flexible weekly pricing with no long contracts
- Cost-efficient alternative to indoor London storage
