Get a hire priceA watertight container can still leave what’s inside wet.
That’s why we designed the XL Vent Container, available to buy or hire.
Rain doesn’t have to get in for moisture to form inside. Water vapour can condense on cold steel, creating droplets even in a watertight container.
The XL Vent Container’s patented airflow features help reduce the risk of condensation and dampness.
Two supersized door vents, vents along both sides and a recessed airflow rail help air move through. The recessed rail leaves a route for air when containers are placed back-to-back or close to a wall.
Storage conditions and how the container is used still affect condensation risk.
Which size do you need to hire?
We hire 10ft, 20ft, 40ft and 45ft containers. A standard-height 20 foot storage container provides around 150 sq ft of floor space. Allow room for delivery, unloading and opening the doors.
| Container size | External length × width × height | Floor area |
|---|---|---|
| 10ft | 9ft 10½in × 8ft × 8ft 6in | Around 72 sq ft (6.7m²) |
| 20ft | 19ft 10½in × 8ft × 8ft 6in | Around 150 sq ft (13.9m²) |
| 40ft | 39ft 10½in × 8ft × 8ft 6in | Around 305 sq ft (28.3m²) |
| 45ft high cube | 45ft × 8ft × 9ft 6in | Around 343 sq ft (31.9m²) |
Dimensions are approximate and can vary. 40ft containers are also available as high cube, approximately 9ft 6in high.
