Choose the 40ft new shipping container with S3 doors when you want the space of a full-length box without wrestling heavy cargo doors every time you need something. The S3 is our own steel panel door set: lightweight leaves, two locking arms and compressed seals that keep moisture out while staying genuinely easy to open. As a one-trip unit it comes in fresh Corten steel with a sound, dry interior ready to fill from day one.
Key Features
- S3 steel panel doors – light to swing, secured by two locking arms and sealed with compressed door seals
- Combines the easy handling of our flat panel S1 doors with the weather sealing of original cargo doors
- New one-trip condition – a single voyage from the factory, so the paintwork and floor are effectively as-built
- Corten steel body that develops its own protective patina and resists corrosion in UK weather
- Marine-grade plywood floor suited to palletised goods, tooling and light plant
- Standard passive ventilation to help air move and limit condensation
- Can be organised internally with shelving, ply lining, partitions or an electrical package

Ideal For
The S3 configuration earns its keep wherever contents are sensitive to damp and the doors get used often: archive and paperwork storage, textiles and soft furnishings, furniture, sports and club equipment, exhibition kit, and long-term storage on schools and leisure sites. It is equally at home as the shell for an office, workshop or store conversion, where a lighter door leaf is far kinder to daily users than a four-bar cargo door.
Delivery Across the UK
Deliveries run nationwide from our network of transport partners, normally on an articulated lorry with a HIAB crane so the container can be placed accurately on your base. Please make sure the approach is level hard standing, since loaded vehicles quickly sink into grass, gravel or shale. If access is restricted, ask us about a dedicated smaller vehicle before you book.
