Practical storage for rural and business sites
North Yorkshire has a mix of farms, trades, estates, small businesses, schools and households that often need extra storage. A container can be placed on suitable ground and used for tools, machinery, stock, materials, furniture, equipment or seasonal items.
For farms and rural businesses, containers are especially useful because they provide secure storage near where the work happens.
Choosing the right container
A 20ft container is usually the best all-round option. It suits most storage needs and is easier to place than a 40ft unit.
A 40ft container may be better for farms, estates, large equipment or high stock volumes. A 10ft container is useful where space is limited or the storage requirement is smaller.
Used containers for practical storage
Used wind and watertight containers are popular for rural and site storage. They may show signs of previous use, but they are designed to provide secure, dry storage under normal conditions.
They are often chosen for tools, machinery parts, fencing materials, construction supplies and general equipment.
New containers for cleaner or visible use
A new one-trip container may be more suitable where appearance matters or where the container will be used for cleaner stock, customer-facing areas or long-term business storage.
New containers usually look smarter and have better paintwork, cleaner interiors and newer doors.
Delivery access in rural areas
Rural delivery needs careful planning. Narrow lanes, tight gateways, soft ground, low branches and steep entrances can all affect access.
When requesting delivery, provide your postcode, photos, measurements and any known restrictions. This helps the haulage team assess whether delivery is suitable.
