We use a **FORS Silver-accredited HIAB fleet** with hydraulic crane-mounted vehicles that position containers accurately. This removes the need for separate on-site plant hire. Our drivers are experts in handling the challenges of **London Clay**, a soil type in the region prone to shifting. To prevent frame racking and door jams, we provide site-preparation advice. Using a four-point foundation on level, firm ground protects your unit’s structural integrity. For technical data on foundations, view our [container foundation guide](https://shippingcontainersofsouthampton.co.uk/blog/shipping-container-foundations). ## Planning and Regulatory Compliance While shipping containers are generally classed as temporary structures, your placement must comply with local constraints. In Berkshire, the 28-day rule serves as the standard benchmark for temporary placement. For units remaining on-site longer, or for permanent business expansions, we recommend consulting the [Bracknell Forest Council planning portal](https://www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control) for definitive guidance. You can also review our general guide on [shipping container planning permission](https://shippingcontainersofsouthampton.co.uk/blog/shipping-container-planning-permission). ## Contact Our Technical Team Elevate your storage and logistics standards today.
