20ft Shipping Container with Roller Shutter Door for Sale

This 20ft shipping container combines the familiar strength of a steel storage container with the convenience of a roller shutter door. Built from weather-resistant Corten steel, it provides a secure enclosed space for equipment, inventory, tools, materials, and other stored goods. The roller shutter design is particularly useful where there is limited clearance in front of the container or where frequent access is required.

Key Features

Corten Steel Construction: Built from weathering steel designed to withstand outdoor conditions and provide long-term structural durability.

Roller Shutter Door: The vertical-lifting door rolls upward into its housing, eliminating the external swing clearance required by conventional container doors.

Convenient Access: The wide opening makes it easier to move equipment, stock, tools, and other goods in and out of the container.

Weather-Resistant Design: Door seals and the steel enclosure help limit water and moisture entering during normal outdoor use.

Passive Ventilation: Integrated vents allow airflow through the container and can help reduce condensation during storage.

Durable Flooring: Marine-grade plywood flooring provides a stable surface for stored goods, equipment, and normal warehouse traffic.

ISO Corner Castings: Standard corner castings provide designated points for lifting and handling with suitable container equipment.

Secure Locking: The roller shutter door can be secured with an appropriate padlock or locking device.

Detailed Description

The 20ft shipping container with roller shutter door is a practical choice for businesses, contractors, and property owners who need secure storage with easier day-to-day access. Unlike a standard container fitted with hinged cargo doors, the roller shutter opens vertically, making the unit suitable for locations where there is limited room for doors to swing outward.

The container body uses a steel frame with corrugated steel wall panels, providing a rigid enclosure suitable for outdoor storage. The floor is supported by steel cross members and finished with durable plywood, creating a practical surface for equipment, materials, and general cargo.

Roller Shutter Door

The main feature is the vertically operated roller shutter. When opened, the door rolls into a housing above the opening rather than swinging outward. This can be useful in narrow yards, loading areas, parking spaces, workshops, and other locations where external clearance is limited.

The configuration also works well for applications requiring frequent access. Depending on the specific unit, the opening size and shutter mechanism may vary slightly, so measurements should be confirmed before purchase if you need to accommodate specific equipment or pallet sizes.

Weather Protection

The steel enclosure and door seals are designed to protect stored goods from normal outdoor exposure. As with any used storage container, the unit should be positioned on a suitable level surface and inspected periodically to maintain its weather-resistant performance.

Structural Design

The steel frame, corner posts, and corner castings provide the core structural strength of the container. These components also provide designated handling points for suitable lifting and transport equipment. Because this unit has been modified with a roller shutter door, confirm its current certification and intended use if you require it for international cargo transport rather than static storage.

Package Includes

1 × 20ft shipping container with roller shutter door

Standard structural corner castings

Passive ventilation vents

Operational roller shutter door with locking provision

Dimensions and capacity

Internal dimensions are approximately 19 ft 4 in × 7 ft 8 in × 7 ft 10 in (5,898 × 2,350 × 2,393 mm), giving 1,170 cu ft (33.1 m³) of usable space, with double doors at one end. These are the standard figures for a 20ft container; exact internals vary slightly by manufacturer.

Condition

This is a used container that has been in service. It is wind and watertight — no holes, working door seals, an intact roof — but it shows its history: surface rust, dents and previous owner markings are normal and do not affect how it performs.

What it is good for

This unit is commonly used for general cargo and secure storage. Doors, windows, insulation, electrics and paint can all be added before it ships — it is cheaper and neater to specify a conversion while the container is still in our yard than to modify it on your site afterwards.

Standards and inspection

Containers intended for international shipping carry a valid safety approval plate under the Convention for Safe Containers, administered by the International Maritime Organization. Condition grades such as cargo-worthy follow the inspection criteria published by the Institute of International Container Lessors. If you need a unit for shipping rather than static storage, tell us and we will confirm its plate before dispatch.

Delivery

Delivery is quoted against your site access rather than published as a flat rate, because haulage for a container depends on the distance, the approach and whether a crane is needed. Most deliveries use a tilt-bed truck, which needs a clear and reasonably level run about twice the container length. We price it before you commit.
