CONTAINERS4YOU

A Range of Container Solutions from Containers4You


Whatever your storage needs, at Containers4You we have the solution. As specialists in container hire and lease of all static and land-based container storage applications, we supply both the industrial and the domestic market throughout the UK and Ireland.

Containers4You offers the widest range of container types and specifications available for static storage in the UK. Our Temperature Controlled units are perfect if your items are sensitive to heat, cold or humidity. For temperature and humidity control with added security and product monitoring, choose our unique Site Vault. If you simply need a safe, dry storage space, our Secure Storage units are ideally suited. All our units are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes and we also offer a range of other container types, including tanks, swapbodies and flatracks.

Containers4You is the trading name of GE SeaCo British Isles Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of GE SeaCo, one of the world's largest container leasing company, with more than 1 million units.

Since its foundation in 1989, GE SeaCo British Isles has established itself as a leader in the UK domestic container leasing market. We offer a full range of containers for dry ambient storage and temperature controlled and humidity controlled storage.

WHAT TYPE OF CONTAINER SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Think of a Secure Storage container as another room added to your premises. You can use it to keep anything you would put in a storeroom - or in your attic at home!

Our temperature controlled units act just like a cold store or chiller cabinet, ideal for everything from frozen foods to pharmaceuticals. Our SiteVault unit offers a unique secure, on-site solution for high value goods.

HOW MUCH CAN I FIT IN?

Our containers come in 20ft and 40ft units, in other words, a storeroom that's either 20ft or 40ft long. A 20ft unit contains 22 cubic metres of usable capacity, while a 40ft unit contains 54 cubic metres. That's a lot of storage!

If you're storing items on pallets, a 20ft unit can take 8 "euro" pallets (1,200cm x 800cm) or 7 "metric" pallets (1,200cm x 1,000cm). A 40ft unit will accommodate 21 "euro" pallets or 18 "metric" pallets.
