Cut Down Storage Containers and Alternative Sizes

It’s common practice now to cut standard shipping containers down to form new sizes of steel stores, such as 8ft, 9ft, 10ft, 12ft, 16ft, 24ft, 30ft and 32ft units. The cut down containers are made to order so can be cut to any size needed between 1ft and 44ft! When containers are cut down, they can be cut from the cargo door end, the front wall or have a section taken out of the middle. If we take a section out of the middle of the container, the two original ends can be welded back together to form what looks like a normal shipping container. Cutting a shipping container in this method allows us to retain the corner castings and strong corner posts as well as the original front wall and double cargo doors. It also leaves us with a centre section that can be re-ended with a new set of doors and new front wall, or doors either end if a tunnel container is needed.

When we cut either end off the container, as above it will need to be sealed up with something on the blank end. The new stores can be supplied with the original cargo doors, refitted cargo doors, flat panel or easy open double doors, a corrugated or flat panelled front wall, a single personnel door, glazed doors, roller shutter doors or any other type of door you may need! We provide a wide range of container sizes: If you perhaps need something that isn’t the normal 8ft width of a container or standard height, our custom build units may work for you. ​Our team have extensive knowledge of shipping container accessories and modifications, we have worked on shipping container projects around the country throughout our 40 years experience. We know what we are doing, so give us a call on 0330 100 5469​ or contact us on the form below.
