The shipping containers we supply were originally developed for marine use and most come ISO certified. They are manufactured to a very high specification out of high tensile steel and have corrugated steel walls and doors.
Internal floors are treated timber, 27mm thick, mounted on steel cross members. Double doors are fitted to one end, retained by four full height locking bars all fitted with lockable handles.
Shipping containers are very robust and require little or no maintenance but it is a good idea to ensure the doors are kept in good working order. Therefore we recommend that you grease the door hinges and locking rods at regular intervals.
