40 Foot Containers

For decades, 40-foot containers have been a staple in farming due to their ease of mobility and adaptability. They can be customised to meet your specific needs. Additionally, if you have spare/unfarmable land why not think about setting up a self-storage business? Hire a container for as little as £50 a month* and rent out for up to £500 a month**.
