Overview
For more than 55 years, Storage on Site (SOS) has been a trusted name in the shipping container and site accommodation industry. A family-run business through and through, SOS has carved out a strong reputation as a reliable, experienced, and customer-first provider serving both short-term hire and long-term sales needs.
But what really sets them apart?
Their hands-on approach, end-to-end service, and a relentless commitment to quality—with no hidden costs and no middlemen. And now, they’re stepping it up even further with major investments into their delivery fleet.
Challenge
As demand grew across Southern England, SOS needed to reinforce its ability to deliver quickly, reliably, and directly to their customers with no middle delivery company, especially for clients with unique site access challenges or remote locations.
Rather than rely on third parties, SOS doubled down on its hands-on promise: own the process from start to finish, including the delivery.
Solution
In line with their mission to offer a truly end-to-end service, SOS recently completed the acquisition of four bespoke-built delivery vehicles—two of which arrived just this month. There are no off-the-shelf trucks. They’re custom-designed to overcome real-world delivery challenges, with features tailored to the unique needs of the container transport industry.
“Leaders in the industry, privately-owned family business Storage on Site take delivery of another two vehicles to complete a batch order of four,” said Alex McDade, Sales Director.
“These are bespoke vehicles uniquely based on 8×4 DAF XD and Volvo FH Tridem chassis, offering better manoeuvrability and off-road capabilities than a traditional 8×2 setup. Built with F710RA.2.26 cranes and our patented front legs system, they can overcome virtually any obstacle thrown their way.”
Results of the upgrade
- Improved delivery times with in-house scheduling and routing
- Greater site accessibility thanks to superior off-road performance
- Reduced risk and liability—no subcontractor uncertainty
- Peace of mind for customers, knowing they’re in safe, experienced hands
With this fleet expansion, SOS continues to deliver on its promise: exceptional service with no surprises.
