Container Hire
Containers, cabins and site buildings available for hire across United States. Rates and availability confirmed on inquiry.
If you need a container for a defined period rather than permanently — a build site, a seasonal peak, a renovation, an event — hire is usually cheaper than buying. We arrange hire across the same range we sell, delivered anywhere in United States.
What You Can Hire
- Storage containers in 10ft, 20ft and 40ft
- Site offices and jackleg cabins
- Refrigerated units
- Toilet blocks and welfare units
- Modular buildings for larger site setups
Availability varies by period and location, so hire is quoted on inquiry rather than listed at a fixed rate. Tell us what you need and for how long, and we will confirm what we can supply.
How Hire Works
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Enquire | Tell us the unit type, hire period and delivery ZIP code. |
| 2. Quote | We confirm availability, hire rate, minimum term and delivery cost in writing. |
| 3. Agreement | Hire terms, condition report and site requirements agreed before delivery. |
| 4. Delivery | Delivered to your prepared site by tilt-tray or crane truck. |
| 5. Collection | We collect at the end of the term, or extend if you need longer. |
What You Need to Provide
Hire units are delivered on the same basis as sales, so your site must meet the conditions in our Shipping & Delivery Policy: firm level ground, clear truck access, overhead clearance, and any local permits required for placement.
You are responsible for the unit while it is on hire, including securing it and keeping it accessible for collection.
Hire or Buy?
| Consider hire when | Consider buying when |
|---|---|
| You need it for a defined project or season | You need it indefinitely |
| You would rather not hold the asset | You want an asset you can resell later |
| The site is temporary | The unit will be modified or fitted out |
| Requirements may change | Requirements are settled |
Over a long enough term, buying usually works out cheaper than hiring. Tell us the period you have in mind and we will tell you honestly which way is better value.
