What can shipping containers be used for? What shipping container conversions are out there? The list is endless. In fact, a better question to ask would be what can’t shipping containers be used for – it would be a much shorter list!

Necessity is the mother of invention, and shipping container conversions are a perfect example of how a product designed for one purpose can quickly become re-purposed to something else.

Shipping containers were originally designed as a breakthrough solution to the problem of transferring small loads from truck to ship and onto a truck again. They had to be strong, to protect the goods and to survive rough weather conditions, they had to be secure, they had to be stackable, and they had to be easily transportable.

It wasn’t long before it was realised that the same features that made containers so beneficial for shipping goods made them suitable for other purposes as well, especially for industries like mining and construction where temporary structures that could be quickly installed and just as quickly removed were required.

From Simple Modifications…

Simple modifications like insulation, ventilation and a window or two in an old shipping container quickly escalated to new custom-built shipping containers complete with windows, doors, plumbing, electricity, floor coverings and air-conditioning, beds, kitchens and bathrooms.

…to Total Worksite Solutions

For industry, shipping container conversions have been an incredible boon, and here at Port Shipping Containers, purpose-built shipping container conversions are our specialty.

A Shipping Container Granny Flat, Studio, Office or Shed In Your Backyard? Why Not?

Industry and commercial ventures have embraced shipping container conversions in a big way, but ordinary people love the idea of repurposing a shipping container into a something exciting and new as well. If you have space in your back yard and were considering building a shed or studio, give us a call. A shipping container can make a great guest room, parents’ retreat, teenage retreat, office, she-shed or man cave. It’s much easier and cheaper than building a similar structure from scratch.

Or Create a Whole Shipping Container Home

Tiny houses made out shipping containers and multi-roomed (and yes multi-levelled) shipping container homes are gaining in popularity as well. In fact, whole shipping container hotels and shopping malls have been created out of these versatile and adaptable metal boxes
