Who uses containers in Melton Mowbray?
Melton is famous for food production, and many local producers and farm shops use refrigerated containers for extra chilled or frozen storage. Standard 20ft and 40ft containers are also a practical, secure way for farms to store feed, fertiliser, tools and machinery.
In the town and villages, homeowners and small businesses use 10ft and 20ft containers for garden storage and stock, and hunt and equestrian yards use them for tack rooms and feed stores.
Container delivery to Melton Mowbray
We deliver throughout Melton Mowbray and nearby areas including Asfordby, Waltham on the Wolds, Oakham, Syston, Grantham and Leicester, with easy access via the A606 and A607.
Containers are delivered by HIAB crane lorry or tilt-and-slide lorry, depending on your site. To make delivery go smoothly:
- Make sure a lorry can reach the drop-off point and has room to manoeuvre.
- Check for overhead cables or trees if a crane lorry is needed.
- Prepare firm, level ground. Sleepers, concrete pads or hardcore make a good base and keep the floor off damp ground.
- Leave enough space in front of the doors to open them fully.
Send us your postcode and a few details about access and we will confirm the best delivery method and a delivered price.
Planning permission in Melton Mowbray
Whether you need planning permission depends on where the container goes, what you use it for and how long it stays. If you are unsure, check with Melton Borough Council before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
Can you deliver to farms around Melton Mowbray?
Yes. We deliver to rural sites as long as a lorry can safely reach the drop-off point on firm ground. Send us your postcode and a note about access and we will advise.
Do I need planning permission for a container on farmland?
Some agricultural uses do not need permission, but it depends on the site and how long the container stays. Check with Melton Borough Council if you are unsure.
What size shipping container do I need?
A 10ft container suits garden and domestic storage, a 20ft container is the most popular all-rounder for homes and businesses, and a 40ft container gives the most space for large stock, machinery or commercial projects. If you are unsure, tell us what you want to store and we will recommend a size.
Should I buy a new or used container?
New (one-trip) containers have made a single sea voyage and look almost new. Used containers cost less and are still wind and watertight, making them ideal for storage. Read our guide to new vs used shipping containers for more detail.
