Container Details
ISO Standard freight containers are suitable for many things other than their original use to move goods around the world. Our containers are designed and manufactured to withstand rigorous transportation by road, rail and sea, and can be lifted with gross weights of up to 35 tonnes. Construction is typically of high tensile steel framework with ribbed steel cladding to sides and roof, usually of Corten steel. Internal floors are of 27mm thick treated timber, fixed to steel cross members at 30cm centres. Double doors are fitted at one end secured by full height locking bars with handles that can accept a padlock. Additional security can be provided by a steel “Lock-Box” on the doors, standard on some new units, optional extra on others.
