Specific Sea Container Modification Work
At U-Move, we stock an extensive range of shipping container modification parts and accessories. Our skilled team work meticulously, following a strict quality control process to ensure that every unit meets the highest standard.
- Shelving
Installing practical shelving units inside your shipping container has a wide-ranging list of benefits and applications. For starters, it creates additional storage space which is practical and easy to access.
Shelving can help you achieve a neat and organised storage system, which can lead to reduced inventory times, streamlined stocktakes and increased efficiency.
- Power
Modifying your shipping container for interior access to power is a very useful and popular unit modification!
The team at U-Move are experienced in providing 10, 15 or 32 AMP power access points.
You can also customise your container with single or 3-phase power outlets, offering greater flexibility for various applications.
Popular uses for power point container modifications include additional living and recreational spaces, workspaces and tool sheds.
- Air-Conditioning
U-Move Australia have extensive experience in installing air-conditioning units into storage containers.
Wall-mounted or even recessed-split conditioning systems are an energy-efficient way to keep your container warm or cool – depending on the season, and what your use may be.
We highly recommend this modification if you intend your unit to be worked or lived in.
- Insulation
Insulating your container unit is of vital importance if you intend to spend any length of time in the container, as it may be integral to your comfort level.
In conjunction with other modifications – such as the right door and window fixtures and air-conditioning – insulating your container unit is a sure-fire way to regulate the interior temperature of your shipping container. A quality insulation will also help you save big on your energy consumption and, ultimately, your power bill.
- Lighting
Installing appropriate, high-quality lighting can greatly improve the versatility of your container unit, transforming it from a dark storage space into a stylish, functional workspace.
Interior lights are a standard choice, but for added convenience and security, consider installing exterior security or flood lights. These not only provide 24-hour access to your unit, but also boost safety and visibility around the clock.
- Painting
Used shipping containers often feature fading or peeling paint jobs, which can make them look worn and out-dated. Also, the existing paint job/style may not align with the aesthetic of the local environment, or your branding.
A fresh, custom paint job will increase its visual appeal and can complement the adjacent buildings.
Our painting services are executed professionally, with experienced team members and with the utmost attention to detail.
- Roller Doors
A roller door is a simple yet highly effective modification that can transform your shipping container into a versatile living or working space, or provide easy access to your storage needs.
This simple addition can instantly improve the functionality of your container, making it more accessible and practical.
Roller doors also provide greater security than other door options. Furthermore, they are easier to operate than traditional hinged doors and are less prone to issues over time.
- Windows
Shipping containers are initially designed as sealed storage units, ideal for transportation, but this can make them dark, stuffy, and poorly ventilated when repurposed for storage, living, or working spaces.
Adding windows to your container will bring in natural light, improve ventilation, and create a more comfortable, open environment. This is especially important for long-term use.
At U-Move Australia, we offer a wide range of window modifications, from double-glazed options to custom shapes, shutters, and secure locking systems – all tailored to meet your specific needs.
- Personal Access Doors
All containers are manufactured with big metal doors at one end. These doors give easy access to the container for the loading of cargo. However, once the container is decommissioned from shipping, the requirements for entry may change.
Your container can be modified to provide whatever access points you require.
- Whirly Birds
Whirly birds are a proven method for providing adequate ventilation for small or closed off spaces. Re-commissioned shipping container units are no different!
If you’re after a stock-standard modification for your container, then the whirly-bird is the go! It will help to regulate temperature and air flow inside the container, creating a far more comfortable living and working environment.
It will also help to maintain a more regulated environment should you choose to store perishable materials inside your shipping container.
