HIAB Containers Edinburgh
At HIAB-Container Scotland, we’ve spent years helping customers across the country move, lift and place containers exactly where they need them. Whether you’re working on a rural build or a busy construction site, you need kit that’s strong, reliable and simple to set up. That’s where we come in.
We’re proud to be known as Scotland’s No.1 company for moving containers. It’s not just what we do—it’s what we’re set up for. Our HIAB trucks are equipped with rear-mounted cranes that can handle containers up to 30ft long. That means we can get your unit off the lorry and into place without needing extra hands, extra machinery or extra fuss.
A lot of people come to us for shed-building projects. Maybe you’re building something from scratch and need a container dropped right where the groundwork starts. Maybe you’re adding secure storage beside a timber frame or converting a container into a workshop or site office. However you’re using it, we’ll make sure it’s placed exactly where you need it, with no surprises and no corners cut.
We don’t just deliver containers—we deliver a proper service. One that works around you, not the other way round. We take care of the lifting, the positioning, and everything in between. You just tell us where it’s going, and we’ll sort the rest.
Why Choose HIAB-Container Scotland for HIAB Hire Edinburgh?
There’s more to HIAB hire than just containers. We’re set up to move all sorts of awkward, heavy and oversized items—especially the kind of gear you can’t shift with a forklift or standard transport.
When you hire a HIAB from us, you’re not just getting a crane on a lorry. You’re getting a fully trained driver who knows how to handle complex lifts and tight spots. Someone who’ll take care of the job properly—whether it’s placing a steel beam through scaffolding or relocating a storage unit inside a barn.
We’ve helped clients across all kinds of industries: agriculture, construction, landscaping, telecoms, events—you name it. We work across Edinburgh and beyond, often with customers who are on a tight schedule or need something sorted last minute. Our lorries are fitted with rear-mounted cranes for precise lifting, which means we can unload and position loads even in tricky spaces.
We’re flexible too. Whether you need a one-off lift, a half-day hire, or something longer term, we’ll find a solution that works. No drama. No delays. Just the kit and the people to get it done.
Refurbished Containers HIAB Hire Edinburgh
If you’re after solid storage without the price tag of a brand-new container, we’ve got you covered. We stock a range of refurbished containers that are ideal for sheds, tool stores, workshops, or temporary site units—and we’ll deliver them directly to you using our HIAB lorries.
Here’s what you get with a refurbished container from us:
- Wind and watertight units, fully inspected before delivery
- Sizes from 10ft to 30ft, depending on your needs
- Ideal for storing tools, machinery, stock or supplies
- Delivered with HIAB crane for precise placement
- Option to repaint, re-floor or add locks before delivery
- A great choice for farms, tradespeople, landscapers and small businesses
- Cheaper than new containers, but still built to last
If you need one dropped on a tricky site, that’s no problem. Our drivers are used to working on uneven ground, tight yards and rural access routes. Just send us a few photos or give us a call, and we’ll talk you through what’s possible.
