Container Sizes for Trade Storage
8 ft Container Units
A practical option for a smaller kit - hand tools, ladders, smaller materials or stock for a solo tradesperson.
20 ft Container Units - 160 sq ft
The size most trade customers rent. Roughly the footprint of a large single garage, with enough room for a full trade kit of tools and materials while still being able to find things quickly.
40 ft Container Units
For larger operations - contractors storing site equipment, bulk materials, or several trades' worth of kit consolidated into one secure base.
Need More Space? Choose a Larger Container
If your storage needs grow, you can move from an 8 ft container to a 20 ft or 40 ft unit. Flexible monthly terms make it easier to choose the right amount of space as your trade business changes.

Built for Trade Storage at Any Scale
Not every trade business needs the same amount of space, and that’s what determines which container you end up with. Here’s who typically uses us.
The Solo Operator Needing a Small, Secure Base
One person, one van, and a kit that's outgrown what's safe to leave in the vehicle overnight. An 8 ft unit gives you a lockable base without paying for space you don't need yet.
The Growing Trade Business Adding a Second Team
Once there's more than one team and more than one job running at a time, tools and materials need somewhere central one central base to work from - typically a step up to a 20 ft unit.
The Multi-Trade Team Sharing One Container
Several tradespeople working the same jobs or the same client base often find it simpler to share a single, larger container than to arrange separate storage.
The Business Storing High-Value or Specialist Kit
Testing equipment, power tools, or anything expensive enough that theft would be a serious financial hit benefits from container security over anything a garage or garden shed can offer.
The Trade Business Storing Materials as Well as Tools
Once you're holding stock or materials alongside tools - tiles, cable, fixtures, fittings - a single container for everything is usually more practical than splitting storage across multiple locations.
The Business That Needs More Container Space
As your trade business grows, a single 20 ft container may no longer provide enough room for tools, equipment and materials. Moving to a 40 ft container gives larger teams additional secure storage without splitting stock across multiple locations.
Why Trade Businesses Choose Wow Storage
Most storage aimed at general use means indoor units with restricted hours, lift access, and fees that appear once you’re already signed up. Ours is built differently.
Drive straight up to the doors
Every container is at ground level with drive-up access. Open the doors and load straight in.
Access that matches an early-start trade
Your registered phone number works exactly the same at 5 am as it does at 5 pm, every day of the week, including weekends and bank holidays.
One quoted price, no surprise fees
No admin charge, no release fee, no line item you didn't expect once you're already signed up. The monthly price you're quoted, plus VAT, is what you pay.
Scale up as your business grows
Rolling monthly terms mean you're not locked into a size that no longer fits - move up from an 8 ft to a 20 ft or 40 ft unit as your business grows, without a long contract in the way.
Set up to protect tools, not just store them
Lighting in every unit, ventilation to reduce condensation, and power available on request if your work needs it.
Security that's a genuine step up from a van or a lock-up
Gated phone-to-open entry, 24/7 CCTV, LED lighting after dark and your own padlock - considerably harder to target than tools left in an unattended vehicle.
