Turn a pitch into a trading business with this 20ft shipping container cafe, converted in our own workshop from a one-trip container. Three serving hatches give you a wide counter frontage and the option to serve from the side or the end, while full wall and ceiling insulation, a lined interior and a non-slip vinyl floor create a food-safe space that is comfortable to work in through the seasons. Lockable, movable and instantly recognisable, it is a ready-made venue for coffee, street food and event catering.
Key Features
- Two side serving hatches measuring 2,350mm wide x 900mm high, opening upwards to form a canopy over the counter.
- One end serving hatch at 1,800mm wide x 900mm high, so you can trade from two aspects or serve queues from either side.
- Steel personnel door with 10-point locking to the rear, giving secure staff access away from the serving side.
- Double opening cargo door on the end, retained as a shutter and a ready-made advertising panel for your branding.
- Fully insulated with 50mm Dritherm Earthwool to the walls and 100mm Earthwool to the ceiling.
- Wipe-clean lined interior — 8mm melamine-faced chipboard walls and 3.6mm polyester-faced plywood ceiling.
- 2mm non-slip vinyl floor covering suited to a wet, busy serving environment.
- Finished in RAL 7016 grey with RAL 2004 orange hatches, and resprayable to any standard RAL colour on request.
