For small businesses looking for cost-effective, flexible and secure storage or workspace solutions, shipping container rentals offer practical alternatives to traditional premises.
Whether you need additional storage, a temporary office or a pop-up retail space, renting a shipping container provides numerous benefits.
Here’s why shipping container hire could be the perfect choice for your business.
1. Cost-Effective and Scalable
Renting a shipping container is a fraction of the cost of leasing or purchasing a permanent structure.
With hire rates starting from just £12.50 + VAT per week, small businesses can keep overheads low while gaining access to secure, weatherproof space. Plus, you only pay for what you need, making it easy to scale up or down depending on your business demands.
2. Secure and Weatherproof Storage
Businesses dealing with valuable stock, tools or equipment need reliable storage. Shipping containers are built to withstand extreme weather conditions, keeping contents safe and dry.
At THS Containers we also have a range of accessories to keep your container secure, including lock boxes as well as small and large padlocks. This ensures peace of mind for business owners and staff.
3. Quick and Hassle-Free Setup
Unlike traditional buildings, shipping container rentals requires minimal setup. Once delivered to your site, your container is ready to use immediately. This makes it an excellent choice for businesses that need instant storage or workspace without the delays associated with construction or leasing agreements.
4. Flexible and Portable
Whether you’re running a seasonal business, expanding to a new location or need temporary office space, shipping containers offer unmatched flexibility.
Our office container rental options include 10ft, 16ft, and 21ft anti-vandal offices, providing secure and practical workspaces tailored to your needs.
With an office container rental, you can have a fully functional workspace delivered where you need it. When you’re done, we’ll collect it – no long-term commitments required.
5. Ideal for Pop-Up Shops and Mobile Businesses
For businesses in retail, events or hospitality, shipping containers can serve as stylish and portable pop-up shops, kiosks or mobile offices. This trend is already visible in many towns and cities across the UK.
Their durability and mobility make them an innovative choice for businesses looking to set up in high-footfall areas without committing to permanent premises.
6. Nationwide Delivery and Collection
At THS Containers, although we are based in the East Midlands, we provide fast and efficient delivery right across the UK. This includes major cities including London, Birmingham and Manchester, ensuring you get the container you need, when you need it.
Once your rental period is over, we handle the collection, making the entire process seamless and stress-free.
