Competitively Priced Shipping Containers for Sale & Hire
Storage containers for sale & hire for construction storage
Construction sites need safe, reliable storage for tools, materials, equipment and site supplies. A shipping container provides a secure, weatherproof and cost-effective way to keep valuable items protected and close to where the work is taking place.
TEU supplies new and used 10ft, 20ft and 40ft shipping containers for construction companies, contractors, trades and site managers across Liverpool, Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire and the wider North West. We offer fast delivery, hire or purchase options, and practical storage solutions for short-term projects, long-term developments and multi-site operations.
Need temporary storage for a building project? Or a long-term solution for a busy site, yard or depot? A shipping container gives you strong, accessible storage space without the need for permanent buildings or off-site lockups.
Unlike wooden sheds, temporary stores or lightweight units, shipping containers are built from durable steel. They help protect tools, materials and equipment from rain, wind, site damage, theft and unauthorised access.
They are ideal for housebuilding sites, commercial developments, civil engineering projects, refurbishments, fit-outs, groundworks and industrial sites. Keeping equipment and materials on-site can reduce wasted journeys to depots, suppliers or vans, helping teams stay organised and productive.
With flexible hire and purchase options available, TEU can support construction storage needs at every stage of a project.
Long- or short-term construction storage
Container hire is ideal for temporary construction projects, including refurbishments, new builds, extensions, fit-outs, groundworks, infrastructure works and site setup.
You can hire a container for the duration of the job, then have it collected once the project is complete. This gives you secure storage without committing to a permanent unit or additional premises.
Buying a shipping container can be a cost-effective option for construction businesses with ongoing storage requirements. An owned container can be kept at a yard, depot or long-term site to store tools, plant accessories, PPE, materials and project stock. It can also help reduce reliance on rented lockups, overcrowded vans or unsecured storage areas.

Secure equipment storage for building sites
Construction sites often hold valuable tools, power tools, access equipment, generators, fixings, materials, PPE and specialist kit. Leaving these items in vans, open areas or basic site stores can increase the risk of theft, damage or disorganisation.
Containers are ideal for storing building materials, timber, fixings, tools, fencing, signage, safety equipment, temporary lighting, welfare supplies and contractor equipment. They can also be used to keep staged deliveries secure until materials are needed on-site.
A secure container is particularly useful on sites with multiple contractors, changing access requirements or phased works where materials need to be kept protected and easy to access throughout the project.
Hire vs. buy: which is best for construction storage?
Hiring is ideal for temporary projects, short-term site work, refurbishments and changing project demands. It gives contractors secure storage for as long as they need it, without committing to a permanent unit.
Buying is often better for construction firms that need regular storage at a yard, depot or long-running site. If you frequently need extra space for tools, equipment, materials and project stock, purchasing a container can be a practical long-term investment.
The right choice depends on project length, available space, frequency of use and whether your storage need is temporary or ongoing.
Site delivery and placement
We can deliver containers directly to construction sites, commercial premises, yards and domestic project locations. TEU can advise on access requirements, ground conditions and suitable placement before delivery.
A solid, level base is recommended to keep the container stable and ensure the doors open and close properly. HIAB delivery may be available for tighter or more restricted locations where precise positioning is needed.
Container sizes for building sites
TEU supplies 10ft, 20ft and 40ft shipping containers, giving construction companies and site managers a choice of storage capacity depending on available space, project size and storage requirements.
-
10ft Containers
-
10ft containers are a good option for smaller sites, domestic building projects, tight access areas and compact yards. Their smaller footprint makes them useful where space is limited but secure storage is still needed for tools, fixings, PPE and smaller equipment.
-
-
20ft Containers
-
20ft containers are the most popular size for general construction storage. They provide enough space for tools, materials, site supplies, access equipment, temporary lighting and contractor equipment, making them a practical choice for medium-sized projects.
-
40ft Containers
-
40ft containers provide high-capacity storage for larger construction sites, commercial developments, housing projects and long-term works. They are useful where bulk materials, equipment, staged deliveries or multi-trade storage need to be kept securely on-site.
