Small footprint, big capability. A versatile and secure storage container for the modern business or busy home.

The 12ft (3.6m) Mini Container offers the ideal balance of storage capacity and space efficiency. As a fully transportable, compact warehouse, it provides an excellent solution for locations where a standard 20ft or 40ft container would be impractical, such as residential gardens, small commercial lots, and compact urban job sites .

Constructed from robust Corten weathering steel, this unit provides outstanding strength and exceptional corrosion resistance. Its approximately 17.6m³ of internal space provides more capacity than smaller 7ft-10ft units, while its 12ft length is significantly easier to place than a full-size shipping container .
