Linked Flat-Pack Storage Containers
Compatible flat-pack modules can be connected using purpose-designed linking systems when a standard unit does not provide the required floor area or internal layout. Side-linked configurations create wider open-plan interiors, while end-linked configurations provide additional length without substantially increasing the nominal width.

Products for Complete Self-Storage Facilities
Our containers can be supplied as part of a coordinated self-storage facility containing different rentable unit sizes. Combining compact, medium and large containers allows operators to serve multiple customer profiles while making more effective use of the available site.
Facilities can be developed in phases. An operator may begin with an initial number of units and install additional containers as occupancy and verified market demand increase. Site planning should consider vehicle circulation, access lanes, drainage, security, lighting, boundaries and future expansion before the first phase is installed.

- Phased capacity expansion
- Security and organisation accessories
- Standard and linked storage configurations
- International flat-pack delivery
