Competitively Priced Shipping Containers for Sale & Hire

Storage containers for sale & hire for electrical storage

Electricians and electrical contractors often need to safely store valuable tools and other equipment like cable, fittings, equipment and project materials. A shipping container provides a secure, weatherproof and cost-effective solution that can quickly be delivered directly to site.
TEU is a trusted supplier of new and used 10ft, 20ft and 40ft shipping containers for electricians, electrical contractors and facilities teams across Liverpool, Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire and the wider North West. We offer fast delivery, hire or purchase options, and secure, weather-proof storage for tools, cable drums, testing equipment, site materials and project stock.
Looking for temporary storage for an electrical project? Or a long-term solution for your yard or business premises? A shipping container gives you strong storage space, when and where you need it.
Unlike wooden sheds or lightweight storage units, shipping containers are built for strength and durability. Their robust steel construction helps protect electrical materials from threats such as rain, damp, site damage and unauthorised access.
They are ideal for construction sites, commercial projects, domestic refurbishments and multi-site electrical work. They reduce wasted journeys to wholesalers, depots or lockups. This is particularly useful for electrical contractors managing large commercial fit-outs, housing developments, industrial installations or maintenance contracts where materials need to be available on-site throughout the job.
And with flexible hire or purchase options available, TEU can support both short- and long-term storage needs.
Long- or short-term electrical storage
Container hire is perfect for short-term electrical work from refurbishments, rewires and lighting upgrades to EV charger and solar installations, or temporary site power projects.
You can hire a container for the duration of the job rather than committing to permanent storage space. Once the project is complete, the container can be collected or returned.
But buying a shipping container can be a cost-effective option for electrical firms with ongoing storage needs. An owned container can be used at a depot, yard, workshop or business premises to store tools, stock, cable, fittings and equipment. It can help you reduce reliance on distant lockups or overstuffed vans.

Secure equipment storage for electrical contractors
Electricians often carry expensive tools, testers, power tools, ladders and installation equipment. Leaving these items in vans can increase the risk of theft, damage or disorganisation.
Containers are ideal for storing cable drums, conduit, trunking, containment, switchgear, sockets, lighting products and general installation materials. They're also well suited to new-build developments, office refurbishments, retail fit-outs, schools, hospitals, warehouses and industrial sites. They can be delivered at the start of a project and removed once the work is complete, giving contractors practical storage without the need for permanent premises.
Hire vs. buy: which is best for electricians?
Hiring is ideal for temporary projects, short-term site work, refurbishments and seasonal demand. It gives contractors secure storage for as long as they need it, without committing to a permanent unit.
Buying is often better for electrical contractors who need permanent storage at a yard, depot or business premises. If you regularly need extra space for tools, cable, stock and equipment, purchasing a container can be a cost-effective long-term solution.
The right choice depends on project length, frequency of use, available space and long-term business needs.
Site delivery and placement
We can deliver directly to construction sites, commercial premises, yards and domestic project locations. TEU can advise on access requirements, ground conditions and suitable placement before delivery. HIAB delivery may be available for tighter or more restricted locations where precise positioning is needed.
Container sizes for electricians
TEU supplies 10ft, 20ft and 40ft shipping containers, giving electricians and electrical contractors a choice of storage capacity depending on their site, project and available space.
-
10ft Containers
-
10ft containers are a great choice for smaller electrical firms, domestic electricians, compact yards or tight sites. Their compact footprint makes them useful where space is limited but secure storage is still needed.
-
20ft Containers
-
20ft containers are the most popular size for general contractor storage. They provide enough space for cable drums, containment, tools, lighting products, stock, ladders and equipment for medium-sized projects. The right balance between capacity, accessibility and site footprint.
-
40ft Containers
-
40ft containers provide high-capacity storage for larger electrical contractors, commercial projects, housing developments and multi-team operations where large quantities of stock need to be kept on-site. A 40ft container can also support longer projects where materials are delivered in phases, and need to be stored securely until installation.
