With thriving commercial zones like Westway Park and the bustling activity around Braehead, demand for secure on-site storage is high. Shipping Containers of Grangemouth supplies high-quality steel storage containers for hire throughout Renfrew and Renfrewshire. We deliver robust, weather-proof units directly to your premises, offering an immediate solution for inventory management, equipment housing, or personal storage. Our depot stocks a comprehensive range of container types. We supply standard [20ft shipping containers](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/rent-containers/shipping-containers) and high-capacity [40ft units](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/rent-containers/shipping-containers). Every container we hire to Renfrew clients is inspected to ensure it is wind and watertight, guaranteeing your assets remain protected against the damp Scottish climate. ![Shipping Container for hire in Renfrew](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/images/containerimages/scotland_shipping_container10.jpg) Secure storage containers delivered to Renfrew and Renfrewshire. ## Rental Options in Renfrew Shipping Containers of Grangemouth makes the hiring process simple. We guide you from the initial enquiry to the final collection. We help you select the most cost-effective solution based on your specific requirements. ### Choosing the Right Grade We offer two primary grades of containers for hire: - **New (One-Trip) Containers:** These units have made just one journey from the factory. They are structurally pristine and aesthetically smart. They are the correct choice for public-facing sites, retail environments, or where appearance is a priority. They come with a factory-fitted lockbox for maximum security. - **Used (Wind and Watertight) Containers:** These are the industry standard for site storage. While they show cosmetic signs of use, such as dents and surface rust, they are guaranteed to be weather-proof. They offer excellent value for construction sites and industrial applications. ### Hire vs Purchase If you need storage for a short-term project, hiring is the flexible choice. However, if your requirement extends beyond 18 months, it is often more economical to [purchase a container in Renfrew](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/location/central/sales/shipping-container-sales-renfrew). Our team can provide a cost comparison to help you decide. ## Specialised Container Hire Beyond standard dry units, we supply specialised equipment for specific industries in Renfrewshire. ### Open Top Containers We hire [Open Top Containers](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/rent-containers/open-top-container) for loads that require crane access. These units feature a removable tarpaulin roof, allowing you to load heavy machinery or scrap materials from above. ### Refrigerated Containers We lease [Refrigerated Containers](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/buy-containers/refrigerated-container) (reefers) to the food and pharmaceutical sectors. These units maintain precise internal temperatures, essential for catering events and cold chain logistics. ## Delivery to Renfrew We deliver using HIAB vehicles equipped with an onboard crane. This allows us to lift the container from the truck and place it safely on the ground. ### Site Access Requirements Successful delivery requires preparation. The truck needs a hard, level surface to operate. For a 20ft container, we require approximately 60ft of straight-line space to park and extend its stabilising legs. You must ensure the route is free of overhead obstructions, such as power cables or low bridges. If your site in Renfrew has restricted access, please send us photos so we can assess the delivery. ### Ground Preparation The container must sit on a hard, level surface. Concrete, asphalt, or dry compacted gravel are ideal. We cannot place containers on soft grass or mud, as the delivery vehicle may sink. If the ground is uneven, the container doors may rack and fail to close properly. We recommend using railway sleepers or paving slabs under the four corner posts to level the unit. ## Container Specifications Review the technical details below to ensure the container fits your available space. --- ### 20ft Shipping Container (New) | **SKU:** 20GPNEW **MPN:** 22G1 **Internal Length:** 5.896m **Internal Width:** 2.350m **Internal Height:** 2.393m **Payload:** 28,000 Kgs **Security:** Factory Fitted Lockbox New [20ft shipping containers](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/20ft-shipping-container) offer the highest security and visual standard.

Hire rates vary based on the specific grade (new vs. used) and the container's size. Typically, a used 20ft container costs between £2.00 and £3.00 per day (plus VAT). You must also factor in the delivery charge from our depot. For an accurate price that includes transport, please use our [quote form](https://shippingcontainersofgrangemouth.co.uk/container-quote). #### Do I need planning permission? Shipping containers are often classified as temporary structures. If the container is on site for a short duration, planning permission is rarely required. However, for long-term placement or commercial use in Renfrew, we recommend checking with [Renfrewshire Council Planning Department](https://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/planning) to ensure compliance with local regulations. #### Can I view the container before hiring? We do not permit customers to visit our busy depots for safety reasons. However, we understand the need to verify quality. We can email you photographs of the specific container allocated to your order before we dispatch it. This ensures you are satisfied with the condition before it arrives in Renfrew. #### How secure are the containers? Our containers are built from corten steel, making them incredibly robust. For hire units, we provide a lockbox as standard (or upon request for used units). A lockbox is a steel shroud that protects your padlock from bolt croppers and angle grinders, significantly enhancing security. #### Is my site suitable for delivery? We deliver using large HIAB trucks that require hard-standing ground. We cannot lift containers over houses or high walls. The truck needs space to extend its stabilisers. If you plan to place the container on grass or soil, you must use supports (like railway sleepers) to spread the weight and prevent sinking.
