Rate for 30ft containers

[Farmer_Joe]

I have someone asking if I can have a pair of 30ft containers there his containers and just storage. Know him well just weighing up if it’s worth it, how much would one charge for having them in the land need no electric etc as he’s hardly ever in them literally mostly just storage,

so essentialy it’s just ground rent for the space they take up plus a bit for access

£50/mth each

£20/ week if their own container (20ft) or £35 if ours

Not sure it’s worth it for me at that

I’m indifferent, nice to have a little extra income and I know exactly the use which is very little just general storage, what you reckon?

There not std shipping containers I believe there x wagon boddies, I’ve got a space below a shed where they can’t be seen and are out of way but theres obviously hassle to sort that space so is it worth it?

Unless this is being done on a proper legal tenancy letting agreement then I'd swerve it, more grief than its worth, need a proper legal agreement for when he's no longer your mate, he'll undoubtedly have friends who are dodgy & arrive with him at some point who then will arrive on their own when no ones about & depart with stuff they don't own.
If you are dead set on it google industrial storage rates, remember he needs the space you don't.

Ah I thought they were 20’ containers If 30’ lorry bodies then £150 month but I wouldn’t entertain them they will probably be abandoned at some point with you to get rid off, at least a container would have some value.

I quite like the lorry containers - insulated and much cheaper than shippers to purchase, longer too.

I would want and can get £40 a week per unit. Very hard to get space. 4k a year!

Stories around of folk re:hiring to others, who filled them with hazardous waste etc... and then did one, leaving hirer & land owner high & dry.
Also of others (or family of) taking ownership after some years.
The point being be careful and it needs a contract whatever you choose.

30ft (1B series designations) tend to be more available as "storage" and "welfare" containers rather than "shipping" as there's not much call for them. The ISO standard specifies 10, 20, 30, 40 & 45ft as standard sizes for series 1 containers with with the USA pushing for 48 & 53 to be included.
