About us

About us

Triple Eight was formed in 1999 and has more than 1,600 containers on hire to storage facilities throughout the UK, making us leading experts in storage container supply.

We buy our new containers from our appointed Chinese factories and ship them loaded with cargo into the UK.

Our containers are therefore used for this one way trip only.  After emptying the cargo we clean our containers and suppy them from our range of depots around the country.

We offer containers for rental, lease or sale.
