WorkBox - Shipping Container Conversions
Introducing the WorkBox, exclusive to Containers Direct!
The WorkBox is a portable workshop made from converting a shipping container with a package of features to get you all set up and ready to go.
As with our other standardised conversion packages for portable offices, classrooms and catering units, we keep prices low by offering a basic design that gives you everything you need to get started. Choose from our range of options for additional features, or a DIY fit out once delivered. The rest is up to you!A portable workshop can be used in your back garden, or for large scale operations multiple boxes can be supplied to different locations. Featured below are our most popular sizes, but we also offer the 25ft WorkBox and 30ft WorkBox. Every WorkBox (excluding 40fts) comes with a choice of either flat panel doors (S1) or cargo doors (S2). The WorkBox is manufactured from used shipping containers, as these offer the best value for money. All shipping containers are very strong and secure and we respray used containers using rubberised marine paint, which improves appearance and covers superficial wear and tear. For a newer condition upgrade to a once-used shipping container.

WorkBox Case Study of the Month
CS105117 - 15ft WorkBox®
A great example of our standard shipping container workshop package. This is a shipping container work shop from our "off-the-peg" range of conversions, which includes offices, classrooms, catering units and garages. We were asked to add one additional feature - 4 steel mounting brackets around the inside of the container walls, which provide a tidy way to hang up tools.This neat little 15ft workshop unit was delivered to a back garden in a private residence. As well as personal use they are also suitable for larger scale commercial applications.
