Stacking Shipping Containers
ISO shipping containers are designed to be stacked in order to maximise space on cargo vessels. This is due to the structure of the container: the top and bottom rails of shipping containers don't actually meet! Instead, all the weight is carried through the four corner posts, and containers are locked in with twist locks whilst in transit. This is one of the main reasons why shipping containers have to conform to standard dimensions.
The reason why containers are stacked for storage reasons is to maximise space. Stacking containers is a great way to utilise and increase the storage capability of your site if the ground footprint is limited. Most commonly seen in shipping container depots, and even in self-storage container yards, stacked shipping containers are a very useful feature when considering storage options.

Staircases

Once you've stacked your containers, you need a way to access the top one! Containers Direct can provide specialised container staircases, complete with platform, so you can access your top level storage space. These units need assembling and bolting, or welding, to brackets to keep them secure once on site.
