Our containers in action
See some of the ways our amazing customers are using their containers.
A restaurant had been operating successfully for several years.
However, due to increasing demand and limited space within the restaurant premises, the owners decided to expand their operations by introducing an outdoor catering unit.
Custom Built Atex Coshh store for storing gas bottles. This unit was custom built with corrugated steel panels 20ft long x 10ft wide. It had a fully ventilated floor from galvanised steel mesh, as well as 4 aluminium louver vents in the walls. We also fitted galvanised box section racks with chains on to hold various gas bottles in place. One 4ft wide steel personnel door with emergency push bar exit system.
This 40ft x 12ft custom built flat panel cabin was a container conversion project completed for Eddie Stobart’s, Universal Containers were delighted when this customer approached us again to help them out with a project they needed for their drivers. They wanted us to create a shower block for a truck stop in Rugby. The container conversion consists of 8 individual shower rooms, each including a shower, hand basin and bench for changing.
The local rugby club had been using a small, outdated ticket booth that no longer met their needs. The club’s management sought a more efficient andvisually appealing solution that could accommodate their growing fan base.
Corrugated steel cabin 32ft x 10ft with adjustable jacklegs anti vandal steel personnel door and anti-vandal aluminium sliding windows in steel shutters. Painted externally in non-corrosive container paint in a vibrant red.
Within today’s economic climate, many of us face struggles surrounding our finances. However, the majority of England’s population are able to successfully get by, either with no external assistance or with the help of food banks and similar. Homelessness across the globe is a real social crisis that needs solving. Since 2010, estimates show that there has been an increase of 165% of people having to live on the streets.
Universal Containers embarked on an exciting project to enhance a garden centre’s retail experience by supplying and customising two shipping container cabins.
The goal was to seamlessly link these cabins on-site and transform them into a vibrant and functional gift shop.
These 2 large 32x10ft cabins were built for a British transport company. They requested a large space to act as a welfare facility for drivers and staff in the peak district. Due to the customer’s specific requirements, one unit was not large enough so we suggested 2 units, however floor space was an issue on-site for them.
Standard shipping container transformed into a bespoke storage unit. With multiple purposes across many industries. For example, self-storage companies or engineering companies for members of staff to lock tools away when not in use. The unit was split evenly into 8 small rooms approximately 5ftx4ft each by steel partition walls for security.
A simple 20ft container converted for a customer who needed a unit for 2 uses, sometimes required as just a basic store. Then sometimes they wanted to use it for an office space. So we fitted 2 windows with steel security shutters and fitted an anti-vandal steel personnel door for easier access, especially when being used as an office, but we also left the cargo doors in place for when the unit becomes a store so large items could still be put inside the container. It was fully plywood lined and insulated in 50mm Rockwool. And we installed electrics including lighting, heating and plug sockets. Finally, the unit was painted externally RAL 6007.
In the pursuit of enhancing their museum and workshop facility, the Locomotive Society sought a creative solution to provide a welcoming space for their members, while adhering to the historical aesthetic of their railway centric environment.
This particular office unit was completed for a North-West-based container hire company. Although this unit is our standard 32 x 10 office, the customer requested the container to retain its ‘corrugated look’ instead of using the flat-panel style we usually go with.
10ft container conversion for an off-grid company custom built to house a very large generator. The customer wanted a unit with multiple apertures and louver vents to allow for ventilation, they wanted all openings to have cover hoods to help stop water coming in.
Storage container for Sliver cross baby in Skipton, our client wanted a cladded container to be used to store stock in there Skipton depot. As the unit was cladded externally in high graded larch cladding, we used a used 20ft container to help keep the cost down (as the container condition wouldn’t be seen) to allow them to have the budget for the high-grade timber. Internally the container was plywood lined, insulated in rockwool, and fitted with electrics. We even cladded the container doors leaving the locking bar handles accessible as well as the security lockbox.
