Ways To Modify a Shipping Container for Your Needs

Custom Door Installation

Depending on how you plan to use your shipping container, there are several different door modifications and installations West Gulf Container can make for you.

• Roll-Up Door: Swinging doors can be a hassle if you frequently go in and out of your container or use it for storage space. By installing a roll-up door, you’ll have quick and easy access inside and out.
• Interior Man Door: Shipping containers from West Gulf Container come standard with a push-bar on the door’s interior, making it easy to exit the space. However, if you’d prefer a door handle instead, we can modify it.
• Cargo Doors: If you need to access your container on both ends, an extra set of cargo doors can make that happen.

Various Size Options

At West Gulf Container, it’s our goal to go above and beyond to meet our customers’ needs. That’s why we’re pleased to offer our shipping containers for sale in different sizes. Our two standard choices are 20-foot and 40-foot containers. The 20-foot option can fit comfortably within a single parking space, and our 40-foot option can accommodate multiple uses at once, such as a shipping container office and employee break area. However, if you’re looking for something more specific, we can also cut and weld your unit down to a particular size as needed.

Interior and Exterior Paint

Do you want your shipping container to have a unique appearance? If aesthetics are important to you or your business, West Gulf Container is here to help. One of our most popular modifications is applying a fresh coat of interior and exterior paint. This option is available for units of all sizes, and it’s a great way to make your container stand out or match your company’s branding. Simply let us know what you need to be painted on or inside your shipping container, and our team will handle the rest.

Partition Wall Installation

If you’re opting for a 40-foot shipping container, it may be ideal to install a partition wall to separate and organize the space as you need it. For example, if you need shipping container storage space, you might use the walls to create specific areas for all your goods or supplies. Similarly, if you’re using your container as a portable office, you could use the walls to separate rooms for the office, additional workstations, an employee break area, and more. No matter how you’re intending to use your shipping container, a partition wall provides you with even more possibilities.

Improved Ventilation

Whether you plan to work inside your shipping container or use it to store perishable goods, it wouldn’t hurt to add improved ventilation to the interior. West Gulf Container offers 12×12” and turbine vent options, both of which can increase airflow, reduce moisture buildup, and maintain stable temperatures. Our 12×12” vents are best for improving overall ventilation, while turbine vents efficiently circulate air around the container and prevent damage from harsh climate conditions.

Container Modifications for Every Use

At West Gulf Container, we want to provide you with a suitable shipping container for any use. That’s why we offer so many custom modifications to ensure you’re getting exactly what you need. In addition to everything we’ve discussed here so far, our team can also help with electrical installations, additional insulation, windows with security bars, and much more.
