At Triple Eight Containers, we understand the importance of personalised attention and a customer-focused approach. From our office in Gloucestershire, we deliver containers throughout the UK, making sure that wherever you are located, we are ready to meet your shipping container requirements with care and efficiency.
Triple Eight Containers was established in 1999 and remains proudly family-owned. We have built a reputation on reliability, expertise, and long-term relationships. We have been supporting customers across England, Scotland and Wales with storage solution they can trust.
We offer a range of purchasing options to suit every budget and requirement, including outright purchase, long-term hire, and lease purchase agreements. Our flexible terms make it easier to access high-quality containers in a way that works for your cash flow and long-term plans.
We specialise in one-way-trip shipping containers — units used once to bring cargo into the UK, then cleaned and released into our depot network. That means new structural condition, factory paint, full CSC certification, and a 40+ year working lifespan, without the wear of hire-fleet circulation.
We offer rent, lease purchase and outright sale. Lease purchase typically runs over five years with a single final payment to take ownership, and we'll vary the term and buyout to fit your cashflow. Rental is available on three-year minimum commitments. Outright sales ship from the depot in our nationwide network closest to you to keep transport costs down.
Today we have over 1,800 containers on hire to storage facilities and businesses across the UK, supplied from twelve depots covering every major region. We're an SSA-approved supplier and members of the Federation of Small Businesses.
With a UK-wide fleet of over 2,000 shipping containers, we are equipped to meet demand quickly and efficiently. Our extensive network of depots ensures reliable availability, fast delivery, and consistent service wherever you are located in the UK.
As a family-owned business, we believe in giving back to the communities around us. We're proud to support local businesses, helping to strengthen the area where we live and work. Building strong relationships has always been at the heart of what we do, both with our customers and within our local community.
