Rental Options in Falkland
Shipping Containers of Grangemouth simplifies the container hire process. We guide you from the initial enquiry through to the final collection of the unit. We help you choose the most cost-effective solution tailored to your specific project 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 sharp. They are the ideal choice for visible locations, such as driveways or near historic sites, where appearance is important. They come equipped with a factory-fitted lockbox for maximum security.
- Used (Wind and Watertight) Containers: These are the industry standard for site storage. While they exhibit cosmetic wear, such as dents and surface rust, they are guaranteed to be weatherproof. They offer excellent value for construction sites, agricultural use, or where function is prioritised over aesthetics.
Hire vs Purchase
If you need storage for a short-term project, hiring provides flexibility and keeps initial costs low. However, if your requirement extends beyond 18 months, it is often more economical to buy a shipping container in Falkland. Our team can provide a detailed cost comparison to help you decide.
Specialised Container Hire
Beyond standard dry units, we supply specialised equipment for specific needs in Fife.
Open Top Containers
We hire Open Top Containers for loads requiring crane access. These units feature a removable tarpaulin roof, allowing you to load heavy machinery or bulky items from above.
Refrigerated Containers
We lease Refrigerated Containers (reefers) to the food and agricultural sectors. These units maintain precise internal temperatures, essential for catering events, farm produce storage, or cold chain logistics.
Delivery to Falkland
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, especially in villages with historic layouts like Falkland. The truck needs a hard, level surface to operate. For a 20ft container, we require approximately 60ft of straight-line space. You must ensure the route is free of overhead obstructions, such as power cables or low branches. If your site has restricted access, please send us photos so we can assess the feasibility of delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a storage container in Falkland?
Hire rates vary based on market supply and the container grade you select. Generally, a used 20ft container is the most affordable option, while new units or refrigerated containers cost more. You must also factor in the delivery charge from our depot. For an accurate price, please use our quote form.
Do I need planning permission?
Shipping containers are often considered temporary structures. If placed for a short duration, they may not require permission. However, rules vary for long-term placement, especially in conservation areas like Falkland. We strongly recommend checking with Fife Council Planning Department to ensure compliance with local regulations.
Can I view the container before hiring?
We do not permit customers to browse our depots for safety reasons. However, we can email you photographs of the specific container allocated to your hire agreement before we dispatch it. This ensures you are satisfied with the condition before it arrives in Falkland.
How secure are the containers?
Our containers are constructed from heavy-gauge steel. For added security, we recommend using a high-security padlock in conjunction with a lockbox. A lockbox is a steel shroud that covers the padlock, protecting it from bolt croppers. New hire units come with these fitted as standard.
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.
