An 8ft shipping container has a floor area of 51 sq. ft and a cubic capacity of 348 cu. ft, making it ideal for storing tools, household goods, equipment, or business stock.
Despite being the smallest standard shipping container available, it is built to the same robust specifications as larger sizes, ensuring excellent security and weather resistance.
An 8ft container is commonly used for domestic storage, trade tools, and secure site storage where space is limited.
Businesses often use them for equipment or stock, while individuals choose them for furniture, seasonal items, or garden tools. They can also be adapted with modifications such as electrics, insulation, or shelving to create workshops, kiosks, or specialist enclosures.
We deliver 8ft containers across Great Britain using specialist crane-equipped lorries meaning we would need access to a space to fit this. This ensures your container can be safely offloaded and positioned exactly where you need it. Our team will discuss access requirements in advance to make sure delivery goes smoothly, and we’ll advise on the most suitable placement for long-term use.
