General questions

All the containers we offer are our own. If you’re buying a new container and it doesn’t exist across our entire network (which is unlikely), we’ll have it shipped in from China, which is where almost all containers are made.

Yes – provided your ramps are strong enough and you have enough headroom. The ramps we have available for hire have a load weight of 500kg and are designed for trolleys, not forklifts.

Some clients construct a concrete ramp for their forklifts, which is fine if you want to risk it – but please be aware that you will be responsible for the price of repairing any damage you cause to the container.

Yes. Many of our customers are individuals who rent as little as one container – or sometimes as many as a dozen. We have multiple containers well suited to domestic use, including 8ft storage containers, 10ft containers and our popular 20-footers.

While we are not a logistics/haulage company, we offer this service as part of our home removals package. We’ll bring the container to your home and move it to your new address when ready.

Please note that our Hiab crane trucks can only lift up to six tonnes, which includes the weight of the container.

If you’re a commercial customer and need help and advice on moving loaded trailers, please get in touch, and we’ll be happy to share some tips about getting the best out of haulage companies.

This is something you should always investigate with your local council before ordering. If you only plan on keeping the container for a short amount of time, then planning permission can sometimes be avoided. But don’t take this as a given!

Just call or email us and tell us where you are based and what you’re interested in. We’ll let you know what’s available.

Please just fill in our simple online quote form, which you’ll also find on every container page. When completing your quote, you have the option of telling us about any special requirements at the end, such as any accessories you are interested in.

In most cases, two is the maximum. However, as high as nine may be possible, but you will need to get appropriate permission. Twist locks will also be an essential accessory when ordering if you plan on stacking, as these are specifically designed to hold stacked containers together.

Please contact us if you need more details about container stacking. It’s a specialist area that needs to be approached with safety in mind.

This may be possible, though it is not a service we actively offer as our depots are busy places and accessing your container may be difficult.

If you don’t have room to store your container at home or your workplace, we always recommend trying one of our 11 self storage depots instead.

We’re here for you! We have one of the largest stocks of containers to be found in Ireland and can meet even the largest orders. We have clients who rent literally hundreds of containers from us. Just give us a call or start a free online quote.

Maintenance is included with all our cold storage rental contracts. If you rent what we call ‘dry storage’ – shipping or storage containers that aren’t chilled – we will remedy a fault if something goes wrong, such as a problem occurring with a door or lock.

If, however, this has been caused by misuse or accidental damage, the responsibility to repair the container is yours. Please check out our full terms and conditions.

No. We don’t offer container buy-backs.

Great question! We rent stairs for this – please contact us for details.

This depends on a number of factors. Most of our clients prefer to rent: our 20ft storage container for hire is our most popular model. Our rates are very competitive, and some clients find renting even makes sense when keeping a container for several years. Plus, we’ll pick it up when you’re finished.

Renting also gives you the option of changing your container if your needs change, and it can also help with budgeting.

If you plan on using a container for many years, buying can be an option – though you will have the responsibility of selling it on when you’re finished.

Please note that if you want to make permanent alterations to your container, then buying is the only option. Buying may also be attractive if you’re certain you will keep your container through decades of very hard wear and that it will be in very poor condition when you’ve finished with it.

Probably! We have container depots across Ireland, and most of them are within a relatively short drive of the population. Check out our destinations page to see the full list of depots.

All our containers are shipping-grade containers, meaning they are built to the highest possible standards. They are made from toughened corten steel, sometimes known as weathering steel.

This has a far superior resistance to corrosion than other types of steel, meaning a new (1-trip) container can last for 30 or 40 years or more if it is well maintained.

We regularly move stock between depots and can usually get the container you need quickly. Moving a specific container from the other side of the country to your local depot may, however, push up the delivery price.

For that reason, we always recommend asking what’s in stock at your local TITAN depot. Often, we’ll have a suitable alternative. Flexibility can help speed up delivery and bring down prices.

ne, unfortunately – unless they don’t interfere in any way with the structure of your container. You’re expected to return your container in the condition you received it, and holes of any kind will affect the container’s waterproof qualities.

Some clients add free-standing shelving and battery-powered stick-on lighting, both of which are fine.

We’re one of Ireland’s largest container hire companies and have been in business for more than 35 years. Everything we rent or sell is stock that we own (literally thousands of containers) – meaning we don’t take your order and then try to source what you need from a third party.
