Galvanized Steel Construction

The unit is manufactured using galvanized steel structural components and profiled steel panels. This construction provides a durable enclosure for general commercial, industrial and personal storage applications.

Galvanized steel offers improved corrosion resistance compared with untreated steel and can help reduce maintenance requirements during long-term use. The final structural specification and surface protection are selected according to the destination, environmental conditions and project requirements.

For outdoor installation, the container must be assembled and sealed correctly and positioned on a firm, level and adequately drained base.

Secure and Convenient Access

Wide double-opening front doors provide practical access when loading furniture, equipment, boxed goods and other bulky items. The illustrated configuration also incorporates a personnel access door for convenient everyday entry without opening the complete front elevation.

Alternative locking arrangements and security options can be selected according to the operational requirements of the facility. The final door layout and locking specification are confirmed during the quotation and technical approval stages.

Flat-Pack Delivery and On-Site Assembly

The main components are packed in a compact flat-pack configuration for transportation. With an approximate packed height of 302 mm, multiple units can be prepared for efficient project delivery, subject to the selected specification, accessories and loading plan.

The prefabricated components are assembled at the destination using the supplied installation method. This reduces the amount of manufacturing work required on site and makes the system suitable for international deliveries and projects involving multiple storage units.

The quantity transported in each shipment depends on the final unit configuration, accessories, packing arrangement, destination and applicable transport restrictions.

Practical OSB Flooring

The container is supplied with OSB flooring that provides a practical internal surface for furniture, boxes, tools, inventory and general stored goods.

Required floor loading and suitability for heavy machinery, concentrated loads or specialized industrial use must be confirmed before ordering. Alternative floor specifications may be evaluated when a project requires additional performance.

Forklift-Compatible Handling

Integrated forklift pockets simplify unloading and positioning of the empty container. They also allow the unit to be relocated when changes to the site layout are required.

The container should normally be emptied before lifting. Handling must be carried out by trained personnel using suitable equipment with adequate capacity and in accordance with the approved lifting procedure.

Suitable for Commercial Self-Storage Facilities

The 2 × 2 m unit is suitable for operators developing new self-storage facilities or adding compact rental capacity to an existing site. Its smaller footprint supports efficient land use, and multiple units can be installed in coordinated rows with practical customer and vehicle access.

Typical storage applications include:

  • Household contents and furniture
  • Boxes and personal belongings
  • Business documents and archives
  • Retail and e-commerce inventory
  • Tools and small equipment
  • Industrial spare parts
  • Construction materials and equipment
  • Seasonal commercial stock

Customization Options

The 2 × 2 m flat-pack self-storage container can be configured according to its intended application and the operational requirements of the project.

Available options may include:

  • Alternative locking and security arrangements
  • Internal shelving systems
  • Loading ramps
  • Ventilation openings
  • Thermal insulation when required
  • Alternative door configurations
  • Windows for suitable applications
  • Electrical installations and internal lighting
  • Unit numbering and external signage
  • Custom exterior colours

Some modifications may affect the final dimensions, weight, packing arrangement and cost. All options are therefore confirmed as part of the project quotation and technical specification.

Available Exterior Colours

The container can be supplied in a range of powder-coated RAL colours, allowing operators to coordinate storage rows, identify different unit sizes or match the visual identity of the facility.

  • RAL 9005 – Jet Black
  • RAL 7021 – Black Grey
  • RAL 7016 – Anthracite Grey
  • RAL 5011 – Steel Blue
  • RAL 3020 – Traffic Red

  • RAL 9002 – Grey White
  • RAL 1028 – Melon Yellow

Final colour availability must be confirmed before production. Colours displayed digitally may differ from the finished coating, so final selection should be based on an official RAL colour chart.
