15ft Shipping Containers
15ft shipping containers are the perfect mid range size for secure site storage. Not too big, and not too small, they are a very popular choice with our clients, not only for storage use, but also as a starting point for many conversion projects, such as offices and catering units. Used shipping containers provide great value for money, and can be cut down to any required size, so we make our 15ft containers by taking a good condition 40ft container and cutting down to size.
One of the benefits of cutting down a used shipping container is that it allows the customer a choice of door types. If you can imagine, once we cut up a 40ft into two 15fts and a 10ft container we are left with only one set of original doors, and one end wall. To complete the other sections of the container we fabricate our own doors, and a new wall, where appropriate. To this end we have developed three types of storage container, each with a different style of door.
Please note cut down containers are not suitable for shipping, stacking or lifting when loaded. They can be modified upon request if these conditions are required.
The S1 container is fabricated in such a way that it is easier to use than the original shipping container door; it is lighter in construction and has one locking arm. It is designed, however, to ensure that security is not compromised. The S1 door is popular with schools, clubs and for personal storage.
Price of container with S1 doors - £1450 plus VAT

The S2 container has the original shipping container door and is commonplace on building sites. It has the advantage of rubber door seals.
