More room in every direction than the 6ft, on a footprint barely any larger.
The 7ft buys you height and width where the 6ft runs out. Internal dimensions are 7ft 0in by 5ft 9in, with 5ft 3in of headroom. A genuine difference when you are running shelving up the side walls or storing anything taller than a toolbox.
It is still a compact unit at 2,235mm by 1,845mm externally, which keeps it viable for residential driveways, tight depot corners, and sites where a 10ft would block a traffic route. Delivered and positioned by crane in a single lift.
Supplied one-trip: a single cargo voyage from the manufacturer, then straight out of circulation. Near-new steel and a clean, dry interior without paying for a new build.
We modify in-house, so the container arrives ready to use. No follow-up trades required.
Every modification is puncture-free where possible, preserving the integrity of the container shell. We finish in marine-grade paint to any RAL colour you specify.
Heavy-duty galvanised racking, fitted to any wall configuration.
Internal LED lighting, sockets, isolator switch: certified install.
Any RAL shade. Standard HCS green, or your corporate colours.
Personnel doors, roller shutters, opening windows with bars.
Passive vents or extractor fans for chemical / battery storage.
Extra lockboxes, anti-tamper bolts, alarm-ready wiring.
Most jobs are completed in a single visit, within 48 hours of order confirmation.
Every Hayes Cabin Services delivery runs on a truck-mounted crane, meaning the container is lifted off the truck and positioned exactly where you want it, even on awkward access sites. No third-party crane required, no extra cost, no delays.
We cover the entire island of Ireland from our Castlefreke yard, with our trained banksmen managing the lift on-site. RAMS documentation is provided in advance for every job, included as standard.

Yes. Every Hayes Cabin Services unit is delivered nationwide from our Castlefreke yard in West Cork. The truck-mounted cranes in our fleet lift the unit off the truck and position it exactly where you need it on-site, so no separate crane is required. RAMS documentation is provided in advance for every delivery as standard.
Most deliveries are scheduled within 48–72 hours of order confirmation, subject to stock and route. For specialist modifications or bespoke builds the lead time is longer. We’ll confirm a firm date in writing before invoice.
Most units in the range are available for sale or hire. Hire works on weekly or monthly rates with delivery and collection included; sale is a one-off purchase. Long-term projects under roughly 18 months usually work out cheaper on hire. We’re happy to price both options side-by-side.
Yes: Risk Assessment and Method Statement documents are issued in advance of every delivery, covering the lift, the site approach, and our banksman’s role. We can route paperwork through your procurement system if required (PDF, portal upload, or signed hard copy on arrival).
Yes. Hayes Cabin Services Ltd is VAT-registered and works to standard account terms for established clients. We invoice against your PO number and supply unit-level reference codes for asset registers. Tier-one clients including Pfizer, HSE, MSD, AbbVie, ESB and Cork County Council are billed on this basis.
Container Sets are our compact range (6ft, 7ft, 8ft, 9ft, 10ft): purpose-built smaller units, ideal for tight sites, gardens, or supplementary storage. Standard containers are the familiar 20ft and 40ft shipping-container format. Specialised containers cover side-opening, tunnel (doors at both ends), and multistore configurations for specific access or layout requirements.
Our containers are described as “one trip”, manufactured at source and shipped on a single voyage to Europe carrying a load, then withdrawn from the pool. They’ve never been in the second-hand market. That gives you a near-new condition (paint intact, no dents, doors true) at a significantly lower price than a brand-new build.
Yes. All modifications happen in-house at our Castlefreke yard before the container leaves. Personnel doors, roller shutters, opening windows with bars, internal LED lighting and sockets, heavy-duty galvanised shelving, ventilation, and marine-grade paint in any RAL shade are all available. We finish to your spec so the unit arrives ready to use.
Yes. Every container leaves the yard with sealed doors, intact drainage channels, and marine-grade paint. We guarantee it watertight on delivery, if anything’s not right, we put it right.
Level hardstanding is ideal: concrete, tarmac, or compacted hardcore. For grass, gravel, or soft ground we recommend hardwood timber bearers, which we can supply. Send us a photo of the intended position and we’ll confirm what’s needed before the delivery date.
