This used 40ft shipping container is supplied with our premium S3 doors, a steel panel design closed by two locking arms and sealed with internal compressed seals. It is the door set we recommend when the contents dislike damp and the doors are opened frequently, and it takes far less effort to operate than a set of original cargo doors. The container itself is FG grade ex-shipping line stock – a genuinely watertight working box that carries the honest marks of its cargo career.
Key Features
- S3 steel panel doors – two locking arms and internal compressed seals for a snug, dry closure
- Lighter leaves than original cargo doors, so daily opening is quick and one-person simple
- Brings together the easy handling of the S1 and the weather protection of the S2
- Used FG grade – structurally sound, wind and watertight, with surface rust, dents and patch repairs typical of age
- Corten steel shell that continues to resist corrosion long after its first life at sea
- Repaint in a standard RAL colour available if appearance matters on your site
- Straightforward to upgrade with shelving, ply lining, vents or an electrical package

Ideal For
Storing anything that suffers in a damp British winter – archives and paperwork, fabrics and upholstery, furniture, stage and costume stores, museum and club equipment. It also suits growing businesses that need a large, affordable store they can open several times a day without the effort of heaving four-bar cargo doors.
Delivery Across the UK
We arrange nationwide delivery with HIAB offload as standard, positioning the container on your prepared base rather than leaving it kerbside. Level hard standing, a 3m (10ft) minimum entrance width and space to turn will keep the drop quick and safe. Let us know if timber bearers or railway sleepers are needed under the corner castings and we will build that into the plan.
