Managing construction projects involves a lot of moving parts, but one of the most important responsibilities is ensuring your materials and equipment are stored securely and remain accessible when needed. 

For construction companies in the North East, finding reliable off-site storage solutions can make operations more effective, all while keeping high-value equipment safe and secure.

At Bluebox Storage, we’re proud to provide secure, flexible, and affordable commercial construction storage containers. Are you considering renting a construction storage container? Here’s everything you need to know.

What is commercial construction storage?

Commercial construction storage is typically classed as “off-site storage” and can be used to store construction equipment, tools and materials. 

Our construction equipment storage solutions provide businesses an organised, secure, and accessible space to store surplus materials or equipment — especially if it’s not immediately needed on-site. 

We offer a variety of construction storage containers for rent in the North East, ranging in sizes from 10ft to 40ft. Whether you’re storing bulky equipment like large machinery, scaffolding, or delicate materials, our storage units come with robust security features to ensure that everything remains safe.

You’ll be glad to know that our units come with reinforced doors, sturdy locks, and optional StoreProtect insurance for added protection!

Who could benefit from construction storage units? 

The construction industry is huge, so there are many tradespeople who could benefit from the space and security of a commercial storage container.

For building contractors, off-site storage provides a secure location for storing materials like timber, steel beams, and cement when not in use. By renting a dedicated storage space, contractors can easily keep their job sites clutter-free, reducing the risk of equipment damage and theft.

Similarly, electricians and plumbers who work with expensive tools and delicate equipment can use storage units to keep their tools safe between jobs. They often use a variety of tools, but aren’t needed on every job. Also, electricians and plumbers often work across multiple sites, and having a secure off-site storage space ensures that equipment is always available when needed, but safely stored when not in use.

With storage facilities across the North East in Middlesbrough, Darlington (Valley Street North and Cleveland Street), and Stockton, we can promise you easy 24/7 access to keep your projects running as smoothly as possible.

Why rent a commercial construction storage unit? 

Renting a construction storage unit comes with several benefits, especially if your business handles large-scale projects. 

One of the primary advantages is the enhanced security of our units. They’re built with security in mind, including reinforced locking systems and secure padlocks. You’ll even receive a free padlock from us when renting a unit!

In addition to security, we know that accessibility is key. Our storage facilities offer 24/7 access, so you can retrieve tools and materials whenever you need. This round-the-clock availability will keep your working day smooth, avoiding any unnecessary delays due to restricted access hours.

Another significant advantage is the flexibility of our rental terms. Whether you need storage for a few weeks or several months, we offer both long- and short-term options, making it easy to adjust the rental period based on the needs of your projects.

With this in mind, we offer a variety of unit sizes to meet your business needs, ranging from smaller 10ft containers to larger 40ft containers, giving you the flexibility to choose the best fit for your storage needs.

What can be stored in a construction storage container? 

Many construction businesses use our storage containers to store building materials like steel, bricks, and timber. This means they’re safely stored off-site until they’re needed to prevent damage, while also freeing up some extra space.

Our units are also commonly used to store tools and machinery, ranging from small hand tools to large equipment like generators and cement mixers. By using a dedicated storage unit, businesses can ensure that their expensive tools are kept safe and secure at a reasonable price.

You can also store safety gear, office equipment, and other essential items to help keep your workspaces organised and clutter-free. For a full list of prohibited items, don’t forget to check our FAQs before enquiring with us.

We know that every construction project is different, which is why we offer a variety of container sizes to suit your projects. 

Our 10ft containers are perfect for storing smaller tools and equipment, while our 20ft containers have ample space for medium-sized projects that require additional room for materials and machinery.

For larger construction sites and jobs, our 40ft containers provide more than enough space to store even the most bulky equipment.
