Detailed description

The 45ft steel shipping container is a versatile solution for businesses that require extra secure storage space. It is widely used for storing materials, equipment and inventory on site. The ‘high cube’ designation indicates that this container offers a greater internal height than standard containers, making taller shelving or stacked pallets possible.

The container construction is based on a robust steel frame and corrugated walls. This design ensures inherent strength and rigidity, allowing the containers, both empty and laden, to be stacked or lifted. The double rear doors swing fully open, providing ample access for fork-lift trucks, pallet trucks and loading equipment.

The construction is made of COR-TEN steel, a material that forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to the elements. This property reduces the need for immediate repainting and extends the service life of the unit with proper maintenance. The plywood floor is recessed into the steel frame and provides a smooth, durable surface for rolling loads. The red exterior finish serves as a base coat for protection and can be repainted to meet specific branding or environmental requirements. This unit is intended for stationary storage or intermodal transport and is checked before shipment for structural integrity, door functionality and the condition of the seals.
