Roller shutters instead of swinging leaves: the 40ft storage container with roll up side doors gives you wide side access without needing any clearance for doors to open outwards. The shutters lift vertically inside the opening, which makes the container practical in tight compounds, alongside a boundary wall or in a row of units where a hinged door would be blocked. Heavy-duty Corten steel, reinforced apertures and wind and water tight sealing keep it every bit as weatherproof and secure as a sealed box.
Key Features
- Roll-up steel shutter doors in the side wall, opening vertically with zero swing clearance required
- Reinforced framing around each aperture, preserving the container’s structural integrity and stacking ability
- Original double cargo doors retained at one end for bulk and pallet loading
- Heavy-duty Corten weathering steel body, corrugated for rigidity and impact resistance
- Wind and water tight sealing to the shutters and factory gaskets on the cargo doors
- Marine-grade plywood flooring over steel cross-members, rated for pallet trucks and forklifts
- Hazmat-free screening completed before dispatch; shutters accept padlocks or a shrouded lock box

Ideal For
This configuration suits any operation where things go in and out all day. Self-storage and removals firms use the shutters as individual bays; construction compounds pick materials from the side without opening the main doors in bad weather; hire fleets keep tools and small plant within arm’s reach of the yard. It also converts neatly into workshops, garages, kit stores for clubs and stadiums, and street-food or retail units where the raised shutter becomes an instant open frontage.
Delivery Across the UK
We deliver 40ft units to sites throughout the UK. A long, firm and reasonably level approach is needed for tilt-bed delivery; if the yard is too enclosed for a trailer to reverse and tip, a HIAB crane lift will usually solve it. Send through the site layout, including which side the shutters need to face, and our team will arrange the appropriate vehicle.
