DUAL BENEFITS OF CONTAINER SHELTER DESIGN

The really clever thing about shipping container shelters is their dual benefits of utility and shelter. The shipping containers that form the base of the shelter not only provide a secure foundation for the shelter, they also have all the benefits that shipping containers bring, and can be used for secure storage, or as a functional item like a site office or first aid room.

HOW A CONTAINER SHELTER WORKS

The container shelter design is as simple as it is practical. Two shipping containers are placed parallel to each other (forming the base), leaving the space in the middle for the goods that need to be sheltered. A domed shelter is then secured to the shipping containers to create a high-arched cover.

Getting a higher roof for larger equipment is as easy as building a base of two containers stacked on top of each other which create a 5 metre high wall and – of course – more functional shipping container space. Use one for a site office, another for accommodation, another as a lunch room, and another as a first aid room for example, and you have a completely functional worksite and shelter, all in one.

Bigger shelters (rather than higher) can be built using the four shipping containers placed end to end instead of being stacked. If the space needs to be completely enclosed, end walls can also be put in place.

Though originally designed to be portable, the utility and cost-effectiveness of shipping container shelters have proved an economical solution to many businesses requiring large-scale shelter, and permanent shipping container shelters are now common on mines and worksites around the country.

PROTECT YOUR STOCK OR MACHINERY

A container shelter is perfect for creating shade for refrigerated shipping containers, trucks, tractors, harvesters, farm machinery, mining machinery, stock, stores, fertilisers, chemicals and more. If you need to protect your expensive equipment, but don’t want the expense of (or don’t need) a permanent structure, a shipping container shelter really is the ideal solution.

Container Shelters for Farms, Mines and Worksites

Our container shelters turn two shipping containers into a large covered workspace in hours. They are engineered for Queensland wind conditions and suit machinery storage, workshops, hay, vehicles and site facilities. Pair container shelters with new or used ISO shipping containers from our yard, or use your own. Call (07) 3185 2170 for a container shelters quote.

Container Shelter Sizes and Options

We supply container shelters in a range of widths to suit different jobs. Smaller shelters of around 6 m wide cover a single vehicle, a workbench or a stack of pallets. Mid-size shelters of 8 to 12 m wide are the most popular choice on farms and building sites, creating room for machinery, hay and materials. Large shelters of up to 20 m wide suit mining camps, councils and industrial yards that need a big covered area without the cost of a permanent building.

Each shelter can be ordered with a rear wall or end cover to keep out wind, rain and dust, and most sizes are available in white or colour options. Because the frame sits on top of two containers, you also gain secure, lockable storage on both sides of the covered area – ideal for tools, spare parts and fuel.

Not sure which size you need? Tell us what you plan to store and how much space you have on site, and our team will recommend the right shelter and container combination for the job.
