Light to handle and quick to open, the 10ft used shipping container with S1 doors is built around a single idea: a store you will not mind opening several times a day. One locking bar replaces the four-arm mechanism of an original cargo door, while the door plates themselves are pressed from 3mm steel rather than the 1.6mm used on standard container doors, so easy operation never comes at the expense of security. A lock box and a repaint in rubberised marine paint, in a standard RAL colour, are both included in the price.
Key Features
- S1 steel panel doors with a single locking bar, the easiest door type in the range to open one-handed
- 3mm steel door plates, almost twice the thickness of the 1.6mm plate on standard container doors, for added resistance to attack
- Reduced door weight, which matters where pupils, volunteers or staff use the container daily
- Lock box supplied, enclosing the padlock in a steel housing that defeats bolt croppers and levers
- Repainted in rubberised marine paint in a standard RAL colour, adding a tough extra coat over the Corten shell
- Around 15.9 cubic metres of dry, secure space in a footprint under 3 metres long
- Used ex-shipping line unit, checked as structurally sound and wind and watertight before dispatch

Ideal For
This is the container we most often supply to schools, scout and guide groups, cricket and rugby clubs, allotment societies and village halls, where lots of different people need to get in and out without wrestling a heavy cargo door. It works equally well at home for garden machinery, bikes, tools and overflow from a cluttered garage, and the short 10ft length usually slips down a driveway or along a side return that a 20ft container could never reach.
Delivery Across the UK
We arrange nationwide delivery on HIAB-crane vehicles, which allows the container to be lifted over obstacles and lowered onto your prepared base in one movement. If your entrance is narrow or the ground is soft, speak to us first and we will look at a smaller rigid lorry or a tilt-bed drop instead. Setting the unit on level hardstanding, or on slabs at each corner, keeps the frame square and the door working sweetly for years.
