Product Description
The 40ft x 8ft shipping container Multistore is a specialised cargo unit designed to provide multiple individual storage compartments within a single ISO-standard structure . Manufactured from weathering steel, this unit serves as a practical solution for operators requiring segregated storage space in a compact footprint. It functions as a standard intermodal container while offering internal subdivision for organised storage.
Key Features

Multi-Compartment Design: The container is fabricated with internal steel divider walls, creating distinct, separate storage spaces accessed via individual doors .
-
Corten Steel Construction: Built from corrosion-resistant steel, the structure is engineered to withstand diverse environmental conditions .
-
Individual Compartment Access: Each storage cell is fitted with its own lockable door mechanism and integrated lockbox for secure access control .
-
Ventilation System: Units include integrated air vents positioned to facilitate airflow through each compartment, reducing moisture accumulation .
-
Marine-Grade Flooring: The floor is constructed from hardwood with a protective coating to support load handling and resist wear .
Detailed Description
The 40ft Multistore container transforms the standard dry freight envelope into a multi-user storage asset. It is manufactured to the same ISO specifications as a standard 40ft container, ensuring compatibility with existing transport and handling equipment . The primary modification involves the integration of steel bulkheads that divide the interior into smaller, self-contained units.
Each compartment is equipped with its own side-access door, allowing multiple users to access their specific storage area independently without disturbing adjacent spaces . The doors feature easy-open handle systems and are fitted with lockboxes to accommodate user-supplied locks. This configuration is frequently utilised in self-storage facilities to offer smaller unit sizes at ground level or elevated positions when stacked . The container retains its structural integrity for stacking, making it suitable for multi-level storage sites.
