After discussing their requirements, we decided to utilise 2 x 40ft quality used a grade containers, to create a large modular structure.

One full 40ft side from each of these units were cut out, surrounded with a steel box section and strengthened. We connected, linked and weather proofed these two units, to make one big 40ft x 16ft modular structure. The main benefit of having these containers linked together, rather than having two separate 40ft x 8ft containers, was space utilisation. A large open plan area was created for their food storage and the larger width enabled three pallets to be stored side by side, as opposed to one in a standard container.

The units were connected on site, by members of the Lion Containers Ltd team. Each unit was then prepared, masked and painted with dark green RAL6007 self-priming specialised container paint.
