Fitting galvanised roller shutters to a 20ft used shipping container turns a plain steel box into a practical working unit. Because the shutter lifts upwards rather than swinging outwards, you lose no space in front of the container and can drive a forklift or pallet truck straight in. The price includes the galvanised roller shutter as standard, and the container beneath is a quality checked ex-shipping line unit, structurally sound and watertight.
Key Features
- Fully welded galvanised steel roller shutter door, available in manual or electric operation
- Opens vertically, so nothing swings into the yard and access is possible in tight bays and alleyways
- Shutters can also be cut into the long side of the container, and wider openings are available on request
- Corten steel body that is waterproof, extremely strong and very difficult to break into
- Every used container is inspected and, where needed, refurbished before release, so it leaves us structurally sound and watertight
- Typically ex-shipping line stock with honest cosmetic wear such as dents, scrapes, surface rust and patch repairs
- Optional respray in any standard RAL colour, which tidies the appearance and adds a further protective coat against UK weather

Ideal For
Business conversions of every kind. Roller shutter containers work particularly well as small trade counters and market stalls, garage workshops and MOT tool stores, self storage bays, tyre and parts stores, and pop-up units at festivals and race meetings. They are also the obvious answer wherever a forklift needs unobstructed entry, or where a swinging cargo door simply would not clear the kerb or neighbouring vehicle.
Delivery Across the UK
Deliveries run to every part of the UK on HIAB lorries, which lift the container into place in a single controlled movement. Level, firm hard standing is essential, both for the lorry and to stop the container racking out of square, which would stop the shutter running smoothly. Let us know your postcode and access details and we will confirm a delivered price.
