45ft Steel Shipping Containers Red

This 45ft steel shipping container is a standard high-cube unit made for secure dry storage and transport. Built from COR-TEN steel, it withstands varied weather and provides a durable choice for commercial, industrial, and agricultural use. It carries a uniform red finish and works for both ground-level use and standard logistics handling.

Key Features

• Durable Construction: 14-gauge COR-TEN steel with high resistance to corrosion and rust.
• Secure Entry: lock boxes on both rear doors fit standard disc locks or cylinder locks.
• Weather-Resistant: rubber door seals form a weatherproof barrier against moisture and dust.
• Ventilation: passive vents allow airflow and reduce condensation buildup during storage.
• Flooring: 28mm marine-grade plywood, treated to resist moisture and carry heavy loads.
• Standardized Design: conforms to ISO cargo container specifications for easy transport and handling.
• Color: standard red weather-resistant paint.

The 45ft steel container is a versatile asset for businesses needing extra secure space, and is commonly used for on-site storage of materials, equipment, and inventory. Its high-cube designation means greater internal height than standard containers, allowing taller shelving or stacked pallets.

A robust steel frame and corrugated walls give the unit strength and rigidity, letting it be stacked or lifted whether empty or loaded. The double rear doors swing fully open for wide access by forklifts, pallet jacks, and loading equipment.

Fabrication uses COR-TEN steel, which forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to the elements; this reduces the need for immediate repainting and extends the unit's service life with proper maintenance. The plywood floor sits recessed within the steel frame and gives a smooth, durable surface for rolling loads. The red exterior finish serves as a base layer of protection and can be repainted to match branding or environmental needs. Intended for stationary storage or intermodal transport, each unit is inspected for structural integrity, door function, and seal condition before dispatch.
