FAQs

What is a container partition and how does it work?

A container partition is an internal wall installed inside a shipping container to divide the space into separate sections. Partitions create individual rooms or storage bays by fixing steel, timber, or composite panels to the container’s floor, walls, and ceiling. They provide secure separation, improve organisation, and allow a single container to be used for multiple purposes without compromising its structure or weatherproofing.

Can partitions be added to any size container (10ft, 20ft, 40ft)?

Yes. Partitions can be installed in all standard container sizes, including 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft units, and they can also be added to high cube containers. Whether you need two equal sections, multiple rooms, or a bespoke layout, partitions are built to the exact internal dimensions of the container. This makes them ideal for storage sites, workshops, offices, and specialist applications.

Can I create multiple rooms or sections inside one shipping container?

Yes. Multiple rooms can be created inside a single shipping container using one or more partitions. You can divide a container into two, three, or more separate areas depending on how the space will be used. This is common for self storage operators, workshops and welfare units, where controlled separation, privacy, or distinct storage areas are required.

Are container partitions removable or permanent?

Container partitions can be installed as either removable or permanent internal walls, depending on how the container will be used. Permanent partitions are fixed securely in place and are ideal when the container needs to be permanently divided into two or more separate spaces, such as office-and-storage split containers. Removable partitions offer greater flexibility, as they can be fitted and later taken out if the layout needs to change. This option is especially popular for multi store containers, where operators need adaptable, reconfigurable storage bays.
