Do you need extra storage on your own building site or industrial premises? Ian Wilson Haulage supplies steel shipping containers for hire and sale, delivered direct to your premises using our own HIAB crane lorry. Whether you're a farmer needing secure equipment storage, a builder requiring on site storage, or a business looking for extra storage capacity on your premises, we'll deliver a container to your door.
Storage Container Sizes
We stock shipping containers in a range of sizes to suit your storage needs. Our steel containers are available in 10ft, 20ft, 30ft and 40ft lengths. A 20ft storage container is our most popular size, large enough for the contents of a three-bedroom house or a good amount of equipment yet compact enough to fit on most sites.
Need something smaller for garden tools or larger for construction materials? We'll help you choose the right size.
Cor-ten Steel Containers Built to Last
All our containers are constructed from Cor-ten steel, the same weather resistant steel used in shipping containers worldwide. If it’s tough enough to withstand salt water storms the British weather has met its match! They are completely weatherproof, watertight and secure. Heavy, duty locking systems protect your contents from theft and tampering.
We supply both new and used containers, all in excellent condition. Whether you're storing farm machinery, building materials, stock or household belongings, these containers provide dry, secure storage you can rely on.
Covering West Cumbria, Carlisle & SW Scotland
Based in Workington, we regularly deliver containers across West Cumbria, Carlisle, and into SW Scotland including Dumfries, Annan and surrounding areas. If you are looking for storage containers for rent near you in this Borderlands region? We're your local supplier.
We also deliver across the wider UK for customers further afield, just ask for a quote.
Container Hire With Flexible Terms
If you need storage containers for rent rather than outright purchase, we offer competitive hire rates with a minimum period of one month. This suits construction projects, seasonal storage, events, or businesses needing temporary extra space.
Renting a container for storage gives you flexibility; hire for as long as you need, and we'll collect when you no longer require the storage container.
Containers for Sale
For long, term storage needs, buying a shipping container often makes more sense than ongoing rental. Our shipping container storage units for sale range from compact 10ft units to full, size 40ft containers.
We offer a buyback option, when you no longer need the container, we may be able to repurchase it from you. Ask us for details.
