Cut Down Shipping Containers

A cut above the rest

Our cut down storage containers are cut down from the real deal: 20ft and 40ft shipping containers. Original shipping containers are made from robust Corten steel, to give many years of outstanding performance, where they will remain wind and watertight and highly secure.

Extra thick wall panels

Once the container has been cut down, we use 16mm gauge corrugated steel to form a new end wall. We match the corrugations to the rest of the container, so there is no compromise on strength and quality on the new wall.

Strong and secure doors

Some clients opt to retain the original container doors, but we also offer a choice of door types in place of this. For example, many clients prefer our easy-open doors designed to give smoother access, especially when the container is used for storage. If new doors are required in the build we construct them from 3mm thick steel, with locking arm and lockbox, to maintain the high level of security offered by a shipping container. We also offer the option to add watertight door seals for added protection against water ingress.

Watertight welding

We fully seam weld as standard on all cut down units to ensure there are no leaks. Common practice is to spot weld and seal cut down containers, but this method requires regular, on-going maintenance to prevent leaks appearing. This is why we opt for using a full seam weld to give our clients a superior product.
