Why buy from a nearby depot

Everything we sell comes from our own yard at A66 Depot, Stockton Road, Sadberge, Darlington, DL2 1TD.

Urban access is the real question

Newcastle deliveries are rarely about the container and almost always about getting to the spot. Parked cars, back lanes behind terraces, bollards, height barriers on business park entrances and overhead cables cause far more failed deliveries than anything else. We work that out with you before a lorry is booked.

Across the Tyne as well

We serve Gateshead, the Team Valley, North Tyneside and the built-up areas either side of the river. Trade counters, workshops, self-storage operators, contractors and households all use containers for the same reason: secure dry space that arrives ready to use.

Honest about what will fit

If a 40ft container will not physically make it into your yard, we would rather tell you before you order than after. Sometimes two 20ft units placed separately solve a problem that one long container cannot.

How delivery works

From enquiry to offload

Access check first

Send the delivery postcode plus photos of the entrance, the approach road and the final spot. Note any height barriers, bollards or restricted delivery windows.

Vehicle requirements

A HIAB crane lorry needs room to draw up alongside the spot and swing the crane clear of cables and buildings. On tight city sites we will tell you exactly what space is needed.

Crane offload

The driver lifts the container off and sets it down in place, which often means it can go over a wall or fence where the lorry cannot reach the spot directly.

Common questions

Newcastle containers, answered

No. Our only depot is at A66 Depot, Stockton Road, Sadberge, Darlington, DL2 1TD. We deliver into Newcastle from there, and you are welcome to inspect containers at the yard before buying.

Sometimes, and sometimes not. Back lanes are usually the tightest deliveries we do. Send photos of the lane and the gateway and we will give you a straight answer before you commit.

Often yes. The HIAB crane can reach over an obstacle if the lorry can get close enough and there is nothing overhead in the way. We check the reach against your photos first.

20ft is the most popular size because it holds a serious amount of stock and still fits on most yards. If space is tight, an 8ft unit works as a secure tool or plant store. Sizes are subject to current stock.

It depends on stock and haulage availability rather than the distance. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it.
