Renting shipping containers offers a cost-effective and adaptable solution for businesses and individuals alike. Whether you need extra space on-site or are preparing for a long-distance move, our containers for rent are ready for immediate dispatch across the UK. Choose from cargo containers in various sizes, including 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft models, which are ideal for secure storage and efficient transport.

FLEXIBLE RENTAL TERMS FOR CONVENIENCE

We understand that every project has unique requirements. That’s why TITAN offers flexible rental terms on all our shipping containers for rent. Whether you need a container for a month or a year, we can tailor a rental package that suits your specific timeline and budget.

Our short-term and long-term rental options are designed to meet the needs of industries such as construction, retail, logistics, and even private use. We have worked with clients who require containers for temporary on-site storage, seasonal stock overflow, or extended projects. Renting allows you to adapt to changing demands without a significant upfront investment.

Shipping Container Rental Options

RANGE OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS FOR RENT

If you’re looking for a shipping container for hire, our services include a wide variety of models designed for durability and efficiency.

STANDARD CARGO CONTAINERS

If you need additional access, our side opening shipping containers are perfect for wide or oversized loads. We also have cold storage options, allowing you to safely store perishable goods.

WHY OUR 20FT SHIPPING CONTAINER IS PERFECT FOR (ALMOST) EVERYONE

When you rent a 20ft shipping container from us, you’ll find it’s roomy enough for most needs – whether you’re a private customer or a business client. The 20-footer is our most popular model and is widely used for European shipping and transporting goods domestically. We have huge numbers of 20ft containers in stock across the UK for fast delivery.

The internal dimensions of our 20 feet shipping container are:

  • Length – 5.90m
  • Width – 2.29m
  • Height – 2.38m

GREAT FOR COMMERCIAL CLIENTS

For commercial clients, our 20ft shipping containers for hire are the ideal solution across multiple industries, including retail, agriculture, pharmaceutical, renewable energies, technology, and leisure.

They are popular with logistics companies, supply chain businesses, facilities management companies and any kind of business that needs to move things safely and securely.

Many clients choose us because of our incredibly high stock levels and UK-wide distribution. We can offer great deals on delivery rates because we’re usually just a short drive away.

Our standard shipping container is available in other variations, too, offering you multiple choices when transporting your goods. We also have insulated containers for added protection, as well as open sided containers and double door containers (also known as tunnel containers), which are great for easy access when loading different types of goods.

AND FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS, TOO!

A 20ft shipping container gives you a floor area of almost 14m2 – not far off the same as the average UK living room. That means when you rent a 20ft container, it’s great for transporting a large number of belongings such as furniture, clothing, collections, garden items and more.

And don’t forget, the floor area doesn’t paint the full picture, as you have plenty of height, too – 2.38m of it. While we don’t recommend that you cram your shipping container so full of belongings that you can’t move, when you rent a 20-footer container you can easily move the contents of a whole house in many cases. We also have much smaller models available, such as our 6ft shipping container.

20 FOOT OR 40 FOOT ONLY FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

One important note when it comes to international shipping: cargo ships generally accept just two sizes of shipping container – 20ft and 40ft. This helps ensure efficient and safe stacking. Our 20 foot and 40 foot shipping containers for hire are the precise standard ISO containers you need when planning on using cargo ships to transport your goods.

If you’re looking for the biggest possible container for international shipping, check out the high cube versions of our 40ft containers. They offer an extra 10% height to give you maximum space.

GLOBAL SHIPPING MADE EASY

Logistics can be a complicated business, and while TITAN doesn’t actually move your goods for you, we do take care of one very big part of the equation. We’re the people to call when you need a strong, durable container to put your goods in so they’re protected when in transit.

If you’re looking for a large container to give you extra space outside your home or workplace, check out our storage container hire page.

But if you’re in the business of moving goods from A-B, renting a shipping container from TITAN Containers is as easy as 1-2-3.

First, check out our many options. As well as standard shipping containers in multiple sizes, we also have many fantastic specialist shipping containers, including flat racks and high cubes.

Next, fill in our easy quick quote form and tell us what you need. All you have to do now is confirm your order when your quote comes back.

A MUST-HAVE FOR EVERY SECTOR

Our shipping containers can be seen up and down the country and further afield serving a multitude of needs, moving goods for:

  • Retailers
  • Construction companies
  • Wholesalers
  • Industrial clients, including those in manufacturing, agriculture and automotive
  • And many more types of business

When shipping internationally, TITAN Containers’ 20ft and 40ft models are the exact specification you need to be accepted on a cargo ship. Plus, they’re crafted from corrosion-resistant materials that are well-suited to life at sea.

Take a look the next time you’re at a large UK port and see a fully loaded cargo ship. Some of the shipping containers on the back will almost certainly be ours.

ONE-WAY DELIVERIES

TITAN is a truly global company – which is great news if you’re renting a shipping container to transport goods one way and have no need to bring the container back.

Much like when renting a car from Paris and dropping it off in Nice when flying home at the end of a holiday, you can book one-way rentals from us to multiple destinations all over the world – as far away as Australia.

Your rental fee will be priced from the time you take collection of your shipping container to the time it is returned to one of our depots overseas.
