Relocating? Shipping container hire can make it easier

If you plan to spend a long time in another country, renting shipping containers from us means you can take your possessions with you safely and securely. Our shipping containers for rent are perfect for:

  • Business relocations – when an Irish business is moving offices to another country, there are often large volumes of furniture, files, stock and other items to transport safely. A 20ft or 40ft shipping container hire from TITAN is a popular option.
  • Expat services – if you’re thinking of starting a new life overseas, you can fit the entire contents of your home in Ireland into one or more of our shipping containers. They’re the perfect cocoon for your goods as they follow you around the world.
  • Vehicle shipping – take your precious car or motorbike collection with you when you’re touring or moving to another country.
  • Construction projects – shipping container hire is the ideal solution for temporary on-site storage of tools, equipment, and materials, keeping everything secure and organised for easy access throughout the project.
20ft Shipping Containers for Hire

20ft shipping container: our most popular shipping container for hire

When you rent a 20ft shipping container from us, you’ll find it’s roomy enough for most needs – whether you’re a private customer or a business client. The 20-footer is our most popular model and is widely used for European shipping and transporting goods domestically. We have large numbers of 20ft shipping containers for rent in stock across Ireland for fast delivery.

20ft shipping container hire is popular with logistics companies, supply chain businesses, facilities management companies and any kind of business that needs to move things safely and securely. They’re also a great choice for private clients needing to transport a large number of belongings such as furniture, clothing, collections, garden items and more.

20ft shipping containers internal dimensions:

  • Length – 5.90m
  • Width – 2.29m
  • Height – 2.38m

Great for commercial clients

For commercial clients, our 20ft shipping containers for hire are the ideal solution across multiple industries, including retail, agriculture, pharmaceutical, renewable energies, technology, and leisure.

They are popular with logistics companies, supply chain businesses, facilities management companies and any kind of business that needs to move things safely and securely.

Many clients choose us because of our incredibly high stock levels and country-wide distribution. We can offer great deals on delivery rates because we’re usually just a short drive away.

Our standard shipping container is available in other variations, too, offering you multiple choices when transporting your goods. We also have open sided containers, which are great for easy access when loading different types of goods.

And for private clients, too!

A 20ft shipping container gives you a floor area of almost 14m2 – not far off the same as the average living room. That means when you rent a 20ft container, it’s great for transporting a large number of belongings such as furniture, clothing, collections, garden items and more.

And don’t forget, the floor area doesn’t paint the full picture, as you have plenty of height, too – 2.38m of it. While we don’t recommend that you cram your shipping container so full of belongings that you can’t move, when you rent a 20-footer container you can easily move the contents of a whole house in many cases. We also have much smaller models available, such as our 6ft shipping container.

The more affordable shipping container rent option

TITAN is able to deliver more efficient and affordable shipping container hire thanks to our network of depots across Ireland and Northern Ireland. We have strategically created delivery depots in Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Cork, Portlaoise and Belfast – and all over the UK mainland, too.

This means your shipping container hire delivery costs will be as low as they can be – and also enables us to offer you a truly local service, even though we’re a global company.

We also help you save on shipping container rent costs by offering one-way deliveries. If you only need to transport goods one way, you do not need to bring the container back. Book one-way rentals from us to multiple destinations worldwide.

Need shipping containers more often? It could be more cost-effective to buy one! We also have a wide variety of shipping containers for sale.

A wide range of shipping containers for rent: every size for every need

One important note when it comes to international shipping: cargo ships generally accept just two sizes of shipping container – 20ft and 40ft.

One-Way deliveries

TITAN is a truly global company – which is great news if you’re renting a shipping container to transport goods one way and have no need to bring the container back.

Much like when renting a car from Madrid and dropping it off in Barcelona when flying home at the end of a European holiday, you can book one-way rentals from us to multiple destinations all over the world – as far away as the US.

Your rental fee will be priced from the time you take collection of your shipping container to the time it is returned to one of our depots overseas.

FAQs about shipping containers

What is a shipping container?

A shipping container is a large rectangular box made from toughened steel. Designed for international shipping, they are commonly seen stacked on cargo vessels worldwide.

With a set of lockable double doors at one end, they are widely available in 20ft and 40ft lengths, though other sizes are available. Specialist shipping containers exist, too, such as open-top containers, which have no roof, and side door containers, which have an extra set of doors that fully open along one side.
