Standard DutyShipping container shelving systems. No drilling.
Shelving for a shipping container has to go in without drilling the box and come out without a mark. Ours attaches to the lashing rings already in your container: galvanised steel uprights, brackets that slot in at any of eleven heights, and optional timber decks. A three-level bay goes up in about 25 minutes.
What container
shelving is
A shipping container is a strong steel box with a timber floor and nothing to fix shelving to. Drilling the walls lets water in, and freestanding shelving eats the floor. Container shelving uses the lashing rings instead: the steel loops welded along the top and bottom rails of a shipping container to tie down cargo.
Each of our uprights hangs between a top ring and a bottom ring on two hook bolts, secured by hand with the wing nuts provided. Brackets drop into the slots at the height you choose. Timber decks sit across pairs of brackets and are secured with the supplied screws from the underside of the bracket. Leave the decks off and the bare brackets hold long items such as pipes, timber and masts along the length of the container.
Because nothing is fixed to the container, the shelving comes out as easily as it went in. Undo the hook bolts, lift out the parts and the box is as it was, which is why self storage operators rely on it.
Standard Duty or
Heavy Duty
Standard Duty does most jobs and ships from stock. Heavy Duty is for dense stock, workshops and heavier material, and is made to order.
Safe working loads
Per upright and per bracket, by bracket length. Keep every load within them.
| Safe working load | Standard Duty | Heavy Duty |
|---|---|---|
| Per upright | 600 kg | 900 kg |
| Per 450 mm bracket | 150 kg | Not made |
| Per 600 mm bracket | 100 kg | 300 kg |
| Per 750 mm bracket | 75 kg | Not made |
Fits 20ft, 40ft and
high cube containers
- 20ft containers: four or five lashing rings along each side wall, so four or five uprights a side. The configurator prices both spacings.
- 40ft containers: the steel fits as it stands. Deck lengths follow the 40ft lashing spacing, so choose 40ft in the configurator and we quote the decks.
- High cube containers take longer uprights. Choose high cube and we quote it.
- Lashing rings spaced differently from our photos still take the uprights. Only the deck length changes, and we can cut decks to your spacing or you can make your own.
No drilling, easily removed
Nothing is drilled, welded or glued, so the container is never damaged. The hook bolts tighten by hand, so the racking itself needs no tools; a screwdriver or cordless driver fits the decks. The container can be moved with the racking in place, as long as the decks are empty and every fixing is tight.
Standard Duty is 2 mm galvanised steel, made for a damp yard. Heavy Duty is 4 mm steel, powder coated orange and grey.
Who
uses it
Self storage yards, marinas, factories, fire stations, aid depots, oil fields and farms, with the same parts carrying very different loads.
Self storage
Shelving your tenants can use on day one, and that leaves the box exactly as it was when they go.
Marine and yacht
Sails, masts and paddles slide straight in from the door end, with kit on decks above and below.
Oil and gas
Heavy Duty racking for tools, spares and drilling kit, in a container you can lift and move.
Manufacturing
Turn a container on the yard into a stores room for bins, parts and raw material.
Military and aid
Field stores and medical supplies on shelves, in a container that travels and comes home again.
Fire and rescue
Equipment stores and training rigs with every item on its own shelf.
Agriculture and construction
Tools, fixings and parts off the floor and findable, in a container that goes to the next site.
Ex VAT
Priced
per part
There is no set kit. A Standard Duty upright is £61.00 and a 450 mm bracket £11.25, so a single upright with one level starts at £72.25 ex VAT. Timber decks are optional and priced by length. Heavy Duty is quoted.
Can I install it myself?
Yes. The racking is designed for containers. The hook bolts tighten by hand and the decks take a screwdriver. A three-level bay takes about 25 minutes.
Can it be removed?
Yes. Undo the hook bolts and lift it out. Nothing is drilled, so the container is left as it was. Self storage operators rely on this.
Can the container be moved with the racking in?
Yes, as long as the decks are empty and every fixing is tight.
Does it fit a high cube container?
Yes, with longer uprights. Choose high cube in the configurator and we'll quote it.
Does it fit a 40ft?
The steel does. Deck lengths depend on the 40ft's lashing spacing, so choose 40ft in the configurator and we'll quote it.
My lashing rings are spaced differently from your photos.
The uprights still fit. Only the deck length changes, and we can supply decks to your spacing or you can cut your own.
How much can the shelves carry?
It depends on the system and the bracket length. Standard Duty brackets carry 150 kg at 450 mm, 100 kg at 600 mm and 75 kg at 750 mm, and the upright 600 kg. Heavy Duty brackets carry 300 kg and the upright 900 kg. Spread loads evenly along each deck.
| Safe working load | Standard Duty | Heavy Duty |

| Per 450 mm bracket | 150 kg | Not made |
| Per 600 mm bracket | 100 kg | 300 kg |
| Per 750 mm bracket | 75 kg | Not made |
