What Our Container Unloading Service Includes

Spacebox combines secure self-storage with on‑site warehouse container unloading, so everything happens at one location.

Our team can help with:

Unloading shipping containers for e‑commerce, retail, trade, and household customers.
Container offload of palletised stock, mixed cartons, and bulky items.
Moving goods directly into your chosen storage unit, ready for you to organise on your own schedule.

By using Spacebox instead of coordinating multiple container unloading companies, you reduce extra journeys, labour admin, and the risk of damage from unnecessary double‑handling.

Who Our Container Unloading Services Are For

Our unloading container service is designed for:

Importers and wholesalers who need reliable warehouse container unloading close to Birmingham’s main road network.
Online sellers receive pallet shipping containers and want the stock moved straight into secure units.
Trades and contractors bringing in bulk materials that require professional container offloading into storage.
Households using container deliveries for long‑distance moves and needing help unloading containers into a clean, dry storage unit.

If you regularly unload the container into storage or have one‑off projects with tight timelines, we provide a flexible, on‑site solution.

Forklift or Handball: The Right Method for Your Load

Different loads call for different unloading methods. Our team selects the safest and most efficient option for each container.

Forklift unloading (palletised loads)

Ideal for unloading pallets from container doors into racking or floor‑stacked storage.
We use a dedicated container unloading forklift operated by trained staff.
Before unloading the container with forklift support, we assess the container and route to plan safe, efficient movements.

Handball unloading (loose or mixed loads)

Best for unloading containers by hand when goods are loose, fragile, irregularly shaped, or not suitable for pallets.
Our team carefully hand‑stacks items to reduce the risk of damage and make later access easier.

We regularly handle both straightforward pallet shipping containers and mixed commercial or personal loads that need a careful, manual approach.

Our Container Unloading Process

We keep the container unloading process simple and transparent:

Book your unit and unloading slot
- Reserve business or personal storage at Spacebox and add our unloading container service to your booking.
- Share container details (size, load type, estimated arrival) so we can plan labour and equipment.
We receive and unload the container
- On arrival, our trained team manages the unloading of containers from the vehicle.
- Items are checked off as they come out of the container, so you can spot any obvious transit issues early.
Goods go straight into storage
- We place your stock or belongings directly into your unit in a logical layout agreed with you in advance.
- You can then organise, pick, or access your goods as needed, without having to offload again elsewhere.

By combining devanning services and self-storage on the same site, we minimise double‑handling and make shipping container unloading simpler and safer.

Unloading Container Servicees and Pricing

Spacebox provides clear, upfront unloading container service with pricing that reflects the work involved:

Container devanning charges are based on container size, whether the load is palletised or loose, and the level of manpower or equipment required.
Quotes are agreed in advance, so you know your costs before the container arrives.
You can book a one‑off, seasonal, or regular slot if you receive frequent deliveries and want a repeating container unloading process in place.

If you’re comparing container unloading companies, we’re happy to explain how our pricing works and what is included in your quote.
