Storage unit hire from 777 Hire keeps tools, plant and stock locked down in secure anti-vandal steel store cabins, sized from 10ft up to 32ft, with a 2M flat-pack store for tight spots. A 10ft suits hand tools, while larger units take a full site’s materials. Most are fitted with a multi-point locking steel door and shutters, and COSHH-compliant bunded stores are available too, though spec varies by model, so contact us and we’ll confirm what a given unit carries. 777 Hire supplies these to businesses across the UK, delivered and sited.

Storage Unit Hire
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes of storage unit can I hire?
Steel store cabins come in 10ft, 12ft, 16ft, 21ft, 24ft and 32ft, plus a 2M flat-pack store for tight spots. A 10ft holds tools and small kit, the mid-size units are the all-rounders for a site’s materials, and a 32ft swallows bulk stock. Tell us roughly what you’re storing and we’ll size it up.
How much fits in a 21ft storage unit?
A 21ft store gives you plenty of internal length, enough for a typical site’s hand tools, power kit, fixings and building materials, or the contents of a small workshop. As a guide, it’s comparable to a single garage and a half. If you’re unsure between a 10ft and a larger unit, our team will help you choose.
How secure are the storage units?
They’re heavy-duty anti-vandal steel store cabins, most fitted with a multi-point locking steel door and sliding shutters over any windows, the kind of security site insurers and main contractors expect for tools and plant left overnight. The exact locking spec is model dependent, so contact us and we’ll confirm what a given unit carries.
Do you supply COSHH or flammable storage units?
Yes. For paints, fuels, oils, gas and chemicals we can supply COSHH-compliant stores, typically with bunded floors that contain spills and leaks to keep you the right side of the regulations. Bund capacity and spec vary by unit, so let us know what substances you’re storing and the quantities, and we’ll confirm and spec the correct unit.
Can I hire a storage unit as a tool vault?
Definitely. A 10ft or 12ft store cabin makes an ideal lockable tool vault, and internal shelving or racking can often be added to keep hand tools and power tools tidy and secure, though it varies by unit. It’s a common setup for gangs working off a single compound. Tell us the kit you’re storing and we’ll confirm what a given unit carries and fit it out.
How is a storage container delivered and sited?
It depends on your location and current availability. We coordinate delivery and collection through our supplier network, and can often help with urgent or time-critical jobs, subject to availability. Send us your site postcode and we’ll confirm a realistic delivery time.
What ground do I need to site a storage unit on?
Firm, level hardstanding is ideal, as compacted hardcore, concrete or tarmac all work well and keep the doors using squarely. On softer ground we can set the unit on timber bearers or railway sleepers to spread the load. Send us a photo or description of the spot and we’ll advise.
Are the storage units weatherproof and ventilated?
Yes. They’re weatherproof steel units that keep contents dry, and most have vents to reduce condensation build-up inside, though ventilation varies by model. For moisture-sensitive stock, extra ventilation or insulation can often be added. Tell us what you’re storing and we’ll confirm what a given unit carries so it stays in good order.
How long does storage unit hire run for?
Storage unit hire runs from a week or two covering a short job up to the full length of a long-term site, with rates dropping on weekly and long-term hire. There’s no fixed commitment. Just give us an approximate duration and we’ll quote to match.
