10ft Shipping Container
10ft Shipping Container
10ft shipping containers, also referred to as mini shipping containers, are the ideal storage solution when space is limited within our range of shipping containers. These smaller units are commonly used for the safe onsite storage of furniture, equipment, parts and accessories.
Key Features
Product Details
SCF’s 10ft shipping containers are built from weathering carbon steel with superior fittings. Unlike lower quality substitution storage boxes which are made of cheap wood and covered with a flimsy weatherproof resistant material, these containers will keep your valuables safe inside, while the rain, wind and vermin stay outside, where they belong.
As a perfect alternative to a garden shed or garage, these units are the ideal storage solution for a range of items including but not limited to furniture, tools, automotive parts, clothes, excess stock, files and gardening equipment. Need to move it? No problems. These containers have forklift pockets or can be craned into a different position on site.
SCF also produce a high cube variant, which has an extra foot in the ceiling height giving it increased storage capacity.

Hire a mini shipping container
If you don't need to keep or modify a container, you should consider hiring a mini shipping container instead. It is a much cheaper option than buying, and you will have access to the newest units in the fleet.
Remember that hiring shipping containers is an operating cost and can be tax deductible. With a minimum contract term of 31 days, hiring is often a better solution than buying containers.

How is this container delivered?
We aim to make your container delivery on site as smooth as possible. Please notify us when getting a container quote if there are any obstructions like power lines near where you plan to place your container or if access for a truck is likely to be tricky.
Also, please make sure that the area the truck will need to access is clear and that any loved pets and children are somewhere safe.
Delivery on site can be made using the following methods.
Tilt Tray
Tilt tray delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines as the container height increases significantly when tilted.
Hiab Crane
Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck's cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.
