A standard container makes you load everything through one end. The 20ft shipping container with roll up side doors does away with that limitation by adding a steel roller shutter in the side wall, so you can reach stock in the middle of the unit without unpacking the front of it first. It is built from the same corrugated Corten steel as a shipping-grade box, remains fully wind and watertight, and keeps the original end cargo doors for bulk loading — giving you two completely different ways in.
Key Features
- Roll-up shutter door set into the side wall, opening vertically so nothing obstructs the working area alongside the container
- Original double cargo doors retained at one end for pallet and bulk loading
- Corten weathering steel body, professionally reinforced around the shutter aperture to preserve structural strength
- Wind and watertight throughout, with seals to the shutter and factory gaskets to the cargo doors
- Marine-grade plywood floor over steel cross-members, taking forklift and pallet-truck traffic
- Lockable shutter with provision for a padlock or shrouded lock box
- Forklift pockets and ISO corner castings for craning, stacking and relocation

Delivery Across the UK
We move 20ft units nationwide on tilt-bed lorries, which set the container down onto firm, level ground with minimal disruption to the surface. Allow enough straight approach for the lorry to reverse and tip; where that is not possible, a HIAB crane lift is usually the answer. Tell us how the site is laid out and we will recommend the safest offload method before delivery is booked.
