20ft Containers Delivered to Self Storage Facility in South West

Boxtor supported the launch of a brand-new self storage facility in the South West of the UK by supplying and delivering 20 x 20ft high-spec shipping containers finished in RAL 6007 dark green.

Delivered directly from Boxtor’s Southampton depot, all units were transported, positioned and offloaded on-site in a single morning – ensuring the client could progress quickly with site development ahead of opening.

In addition to container supply, Boxtor also provided a refurbished site office container, supporting early-stage operations during the build phase.

The Brief

A growing self-storage operator required a reliable container partner to support the development of a new site.

Key requirements included:

Supply of high-spec storage containers for customer use
Consistent branding across all units
Efficient delivery and positioning on site
Flexible purchasing model to support business growth
Additional on-site office solution during the construction phase

As a multi-site operator planning continued expansion, the client opted for a long-term lease purchase model, allowing them to scale while managing upfront investment.

The Solution

Container Supply

Boxtor supplied 20 x new 20ft shipping containers, all finished in RAL 6007 dark green to match the client’s brand and site aesthetic.

Each unit was specified to the highest standard for self-storage use, including:

3-bar easy-open locking systems
- Enhanced security
- Simple access for customers
18 ventilation points per container
- Improved airflow
- Reduced condensation risk
- Protection for stored goods

These high-spec features ensure the containers provide secure, well-ventilated storage suitable for long-term customer use.

Delivery & Installation

All units were delivered direct from Boxtor’s Southampton depot using a HIAB-equipped lorry for efficient on-site positioning.

In a carefully coordinated delivery:

All 20 containers were delivered in one morning
Units were positioned and offloaded across the site
Full installation was completed by 1pm the same day

This streamlined delivery allowed the client to maintain momentum on site development and move forward quickly with build-phase preparations.

Supporting a Growing Self Storage Business

As an expanding operator with multiple locations, the client required a flexible purchasing structure.

Boxtor provided the containers on a long-term lease purchase agreement, enabling the business to:

Manage cash flow effectively
Scale operations across multiple sites
Invest in infrastructure while maintaining flexibility
Build long-term container assets as the business grows

This approach ensures the storage operator can continue expanding with the support of a reliable container partner.

Additional Site Office Supply

To support site setup during the construction phase, Boxtor also supplied a refurbished used container site office.

This provided:

A practical on-site workspace for staff and contractors
Secure storage for documents and equipment
Operational support while the facility was being built

The photos supplied show the site during its development stage, prior to opening to customers.

The Outcome

Boxtor delivered a complete container solution for a new self-storage facility, supporting both the build phase and long-term operational plans.

The project delivered:

20 high-spec storage containers supplied and installed
Fast, coordinated delivery and positioning
Consistent branding with RAL 6007 finish
Flexible lease purchase model for growth
Additional refurbished site office for early operations

This project highlights Boxtor’s ability to support growing self-storage operators with scalable supply, fast logistics and tailored commercial arrangements.
