Common questions about shipping container modifications
What are the most common shipping container modifications?
The most common shipping container modifications include person doors, roll-up doors, insulation, vents, and electrical packages.
Can I combine multiple modifications on one container?
Yes. Many customers combine access upgrades, insulation, vents, and electrical on the same unit depending on how the container will be used.
Can I turn a standard container into an insulated shipping container?
Yes. ContainerWest can add spray foam insulation and related upgrades to improve moisture control and create a more usable insulated shipping container.
Can I get a heated storage container?
Yes. Insulation can be combined with heat when maintaining a more usable interior temperature is important.
Do basic modifications require a building permit?
It depends on the Municipality, as anything over 10 sq m is a building under Code, but there are exemptions: temporary use, seasonal use, or there is no enforcement, especially if it’s used strictly for storage. Our team can assist for permanent, occupied buildings where a permit is required.
Can you quote quickly for one modified shipping container?
Yes. For common modifications, ContainerWest aims to provide quick, clear quoting for one-off units as well as larger orders.
