CUSTOM MODIFICATIONS

Shipping container modifications.

A better container starts with a clear understanding of the job. Explore the changes that make your space more practical, comfortable, and useful.

FROM STEEL SHELL TO USEFUL SPACE

Change the details.
Change the possibilities.

A simple access door can transform everyday storage. A coordinated interior package can create an entirely different kind of space. Tell us how you intend to use your container, and we’ll help define the right modification scope.

PRACTICAL OPTIONS. PROJECT-SPECIFIC DETAILS.

Make room for what you need.

01 / CUSTOMIZE

Doors & access

Personnel doors, roll-up doors, additional cargo access, and practical opening locations.

Start with what needs to move through each opening. Door size, swing direction, lock hardware, weather sealing, and structural reinforcement all belong in the scope.

02 / CUSTOMIZE

Windows & ventilation

Natural light, air movement, and practical window placement.

Plan sightlines, privacy, security, and heat exposure. Passive vents and powered ventilation serve different needs and should match the intended use.

03 / CUSTOMIZE

Insulation & interiors

Insulation systems, wall finishes, ceilings, and interior partitions.

Discuss climate, condensation control, finished dimensions, and interior use. Insulation and lining reduce usable internal space and should be included in layout planning.

04 / CUSTOMIZE

Electrical & lighting

Power distribution, outlets, interior lighting, and exterior lighting.

Define the equipment loads and available site power before selecting an electrical package. Connection work and code responsibilities are confirmed in the proposal.

05 / CUSTOMIZE

Heating & cooling

Climate-control options sized around the space and its use.

Occupancy, insulation, solar exposure, and the local climate influence equipment selection. Allow for outdoor units, condensate, and maintenance access.

06 / CUSTOMIZE

Plumbing & utility planning

Restroom concepts, sinks, water supply, and drain coordination.

Confirm site water, sewer or wastewater arrangements, utility locations, and freeze protection. Local requirements and site connections need project-specific review.

07 / CUSTOMIZE

Partitions & organization

Separate work zones, storage bays, shelving, and equipment areas.

Lay out circulation, storage loads, egress, and service clearances before fixing partitions. Share equipment dimensions and access needs with your request.

08 / CUSTOMIZE

Exterior finishes

Paint options, exterior appearance, and branding coordination.

Choose a finish suited to the site, exposure, and desired appearance. Surface preparation and any additional cladding should be defined in the written scope.

Options are subject to project review. Structural alterations, occupied uses, and building systems may require engineering, permits, or licensed trades. Scope and responsibilities are confirmed before work begins.

FINISHED OR INDUSTRIAL

Make room for a bathroom.

Half baths with a toilet and sink, or full bathrooms with a shower. Choose finishes that fit the way your container will be used.

ROLL-UP ACCESS

Make room
for an easier way in.

Explore 20′ and 40′ containers with roll-up access and interior-mounted door drums. Plan broad access for tools and equipment, or multiple openings with separate storage bays.
