Standard 10ft (3m) Shipping Container – Compact Corten Steel Body

Durable, space-saving storage solution with versatile applications for construction, warehousing, and on-site logistics.

The Standard 10-Foot Shipping Container is a compact, robust storage unit engineered for businesses and individuals requiring secure, weatherproof space in limited areas.

The body features a fully welded steel frame, marine-grade plywood or bamboo flooring, and double rear doors with secure locking mechanisms, providing reliable protection for tools, equipment, inventory, and materials. Standard ventilation valves promote airflow and reduce moisture buildup inside the unit.

This container is manufactured to ISO standards (ISO 668, ISO 1161, ISO 1496-1, ISO 6346) and includes a valid CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) safety plate, supporting safe transport and stacking applications . Available in a High Cube configuration upon request, providing approximately 30 cm of additional interior height for bulky goods .
