Container Storage Services

A container depot is a storage area for empty shipping containers. A depot can be located at a container terminal, a port or inland container depot. Depots are essential parts of the container supply chain. As well as offloading cargo, a depot allows logistics carriers to store, maintain and prepare their fleet for their next deployment.

The Eldapoint Group oversees over 30 acres of yard storage and container depot space. As a group, we have plenty of space to manoeuvre. As well as providing container storage space, we can house a large inventory of finished stock across our range and a large-scale operational capacity.

Our accessible, well-connected container depots and storage facilities are strategically located close to major ports, manufacturing and logistics hubs. We can help our clients minimise the number of miles goods are on the road, reducing travel costs and, ultimately, per tonne emission levels. We can store over 15,000 containers and provide comprehensive depot services, including storage, handling, reporting, repairs, refrigeration and transport. Each site is served by a modern fleet of container handlers, 24hr CCTV security coverage and a skilled depot team.

Container lifting and storage

Our extensive yards and facilities accommodate short-term and long-term storage needs and single and volume orders for seasonal peaks. We can support you with the storage, transport and haulage of standard 20ft, 40ft and 45ft shipping containers, as well as flat racks, open tops and refrigerated containers.

We offer both loaded and empty storage for dry and refrigerated containers. This facility can dramatically reduce quay rent costs for UK port customers when loaded containers are still on the quay. We can also arrange container collection on the last free day and hold until delivery of the box. Containers are housed in our depot under optimal storage conditions, protecting cargo from harsh weather damage. For your peace of mind, our sites operate gated operations, live CCTV systems and manned security, ensuring your container is fully secure and protected.

We can lift all types of empty containers and intermodule bodies. Our container handlers can stack containers up to 6 high. Maximum lifting capacity varies by location. However, heavier consignments can be handled and stored with prior arrangement. Our depots function as logistics hubs, offering transportation services to move containers to and from ports, rail yards or other destinations. This haulage can involve trucks, trailers and specialist container-handling equipment.
