Boxtor recently completed the successful supply and delivery of three brand-new 40ft High Cube shipping containers to a growing self-storage facility in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.
As demand continued to increase at their site, our client required additional storage units that would offer maximum capacity, long-term durability, and a professional appearance to complement their existing site.
To meet these requirements, Boxtor supplied 3 x New (One-Trip) 40ft High Cube containers in RAL 6007 Dark Green, one of the most popular colour choices within the self-storage industry.
These containers provide approximately 360 sq ft of storage space per unit, making them ideal for both domestic and business storage customers.
The Requirement
The self-storage operator was looking to:
- Increase rentable storage capacity quickly
- Maintain a uniform, professional appearance across the site
- Invest in high-quality units with minimal maintenance requirements
- Maximise storage volume for customers
Following discussions with the Boxtor team, the client selected our premium specification 40ft High Cube containers, benefiting from the additional internal height compared with standard 40ft units. The extra height provides increased storage capacity and improved accessibility for customers storing bulky items.
Container Specification
The three containers supplied featured Boxtor’s market-leading specification, including:
- New (One-Trip) condition
- 40ft High Cube format (9ft 6in external height)
- RAL 6007 Dark Green finish
- Easy-open 3-bar locking door system
- Multiple air vents for enhanced airflow
- Factory-fitted slimline lockbox
- Heavy-duty plywood flooring
- Corten steel construction for long-term durability
These specifications are particularly well suited to self-storage environments, where security, ventilation, and ease of customer access are key considerations.
Delivery & Installation
Boxtor coordinated the delivery directly to the site using specialist HIAB crane transport, allowing the containers to be positioned precisely onto prepared foundations.
Careful planning ensured the delivery was completed efficiently and safely, minimising disruption to the site’s existing customers and operations.
Our experienced team worked closely with the site operator to ensure all three units were installed exactly where required, ready to be brought into service immediately.
The Result
The project provided the facility with:
- An additional 1,080 sq ft of secure storage capacity
- Premium-quality containers requiring minimal ongoing maintenance
- Consistent site aesthetics through the use of matching dark green units
- Increased revenue streams -generating storage space
- A scalable solution for future site expansion
The new containers were quickly integrated into the facility’s available inventory, helping the operator meet growing customer demand while maintaining the high standards expected from a modern self-storage business.
