Container removal Manchester

A Manchester company, collecting across Greater Manchester

We are based in Manchester, so shipping container removal in the city and the boroughs around it is close to home for us. We lift containers and cabins with our own HIAB lorries and take them away, whether there is one unit or several.

Containers end up on all kinds of Manchester sites: back gardens and driveways, business yards and car parks, construction sites that are finishing, and school and college grounds. The process is the same wherever yours is. Send us photos and the postcode, and we will plan the collection in advance from what you send.

Every size

Every container size, from 8ft to 45ft

We collect shipping containers and storage containers in every size from 8ft up to 45ft: 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, 16ft, 20ft, 24ft, 30ft, 32ft, 40ft, 40ft high cube and 45ft. Portable cabins are collected in every size from 8ft up to 40ft.

If you are not sure what size you have, a photo and a rough measurement are enough for us to work it out. Longer containers need more room for the lorry to stand alongside, so photos of the access help us plan the lift.

What it costs

Container removal in Manchester: you pay, it is free, or we buy it

Every container and cabin is different. Once we have seen photos and know where it is, we will tell you which of these applies.

You pay for disposal

For units in poor condition, where the cost of lifting, transporting and disposing of them is more than they are worth. We quote a price before anything is booked.

Free removal

Where a container or cabin still has enough value to cover the cost of collecting it, we can take it away free of charge.

We buy it

Where the unit is in good enough condition, we may make you an offer and pay you for it, as well as collecting it.

Which one applies depends on condition, with size and location also playing a part. Send us photos and we will tell you.
