Previously, we explored how to create your own shipping container workshop, including what to consider beforehand and the accessories you might include. Today, we’re looking at why shipping containers are perfectly suited for workshop conversions.

There are quite a few characteristics of containers that lend themselves to a workshop, some you may have already realised, some you might not have. As previously mentioned, the modifications options are near endless with a shipping container – if you can think it, Container Traders can make it happen! From a simple bench to a full electrical fit out, or flooring to lighting, whatever it is, we have you covered. Here are a few more:
They’re built to last and unbelievably portable
Shipping containers are made from Corten steel – a group of steels developed to resist atmospheric corrosion better than any other steel. This means they can withstand long journeys across salty seas without weakening or tarnishing, remaining wind and watertight for your use.
Container Traders can deliver a container to you, anytime, anywhere in Australia. With one of the best freight networks in the country, we can transport containers using a variety of methods, including tilt trays, side loaders, Hi-Abs, as well as by rail or sea.


Stackable, space-saving, affordable and ready to go
Containers are designed to be stacked, with each container’s cast corners engineered to bear the load above. This means you can double your storage without using up valuable ground space. Stairs and scaffolding can also be added for easy access to your two-storey workshop.
While the type of container you choose will influence the cost, shipping containers are generally far more affordable than traditional building materials. Plus, they come pre-built, saving you time and effort.
