WHY CHOOSE 6FT

The right size for tight spaces

Compact Footprint

Most compact option in our range — fits driveways, gardens, and tight commercial sites larger units cannot reach.

Lower Cost

Significantly more affordable than 8ft, 10ft, 20ft or 40ft alternatives. Pay only for the storage you actually need.

Same Security

Identical lockbox-ready doors and corten steel construction as our larger containers — no compromise on protection.

Easy to Position

HIAB delivery places it precisely — even into back gardens, side passageways, or tight courtyards.

Perfect For

Tools, equipment, documents, archives, garden machinery, sports gear, hobby projects, small business inventory.

Easy Relocation

Lighter than larger units, so easier to relocate if your needs change — perfect for hire arrangements.

BEFORE DELIVERY

5-point delivery checklist

HIAB delivery makes 6ft placement straightforward — but a quick pre-delivery check saves time on the day. Run through this list before our lorry arrives.

  1. 1
    Ensure the placement area is firm and level — gravel, concrete, paving slabs, or compacted hardcore all work well.
  2. 2
    Check vehicle access — our HIAB lorry needs ~3.5m clearance and a route in to within 6m of the placement spot.
  3. 3
    Clear overhead obstructions — tree branches, power lines, or low cables that the HIAB arm needs to swing past.
  4. 4
    Plan how you'll access the doors once positioned — they need ~1.5m of clearance to swing fully open.
  5. 5
    Consider security — paving slabs, anchor points, or additional padlocks for high-value contents.
