8′ Storage Container ā Compact, Secure & Space-Efficient Storage
When you need dependable storage but do not have enough space for a conventional 10-, 20-, or 40-foot container, the 8′ Storage Container provides an excellent balance between storage capacity, durability and compact dimensions.
Designed specifically for storage applications, this container is an ideal solution for customers who need a secure place to store tools, equipment, materials and other valuable items without occupying excessive space.
With an external length of approximately 2.44 metres, the 8′ Storage Container fits comfortably into smaller installation areas while still providing approximately 9.82 m³ of internal storage capacity. This makes it particularly useful for construction sites, workshops, small businesses, industrial facilities, equipment yards, courtyards and other locations where available space is limited.
Compact Design for Tight Spaces
The 8′ model sits between the smaller compact storage units and larger 10-foot containers, giving customers an intermediate storage solution when a 6-foot container is too small but a 10-foot unit would take up unnecessary space.
Its compact footprint makes it easier to position in:
- Small construction sites
- Restricted industrial areas
- Commercial premises
- Workshops
- Courtyards
- Equipment yards
- Small installation sites
- Urban locations
- Temporary work areas
Despite its relatively small footprint, the container provides a useful 9.82 m³ of internal volume, giving you plenty of room for tools, machinery, equipment and stored materials.
Secure Double-Door Access
The container is fitted with double doors on one end, providing a wide opening for loading and unloading stored equipment.
The doors feature galvanized locking bars designed for reliable operation and long-term durability. A built-in lock box provides additional protection by helping shield the padlock from unauthorized access and environmental exposure.
This combination makes the container particularly suitable for storing valuable tools and equipment at locations where controlled access is important.
Strong & Durable Construction
The 8′ Storage Container is manufactured in Europe and features a highly durable KTL paint finish.
KTL coating provides greater resistance to wear and tear than lower-quality coating systems, helping the container maintain its protective finish through regular use and exposure to demanding environments.
The container is also manufactured in an ISO 9001:2000 certified facility and carries GL certification, providing additional assurance regarding its manufacturing standards.
Built for Easy Handling
With an approximate empty weight of only 630 kg, the 8′ Storage Container is significantly easier to move and position than larger conventional containers.
Integrated forklift pockets make handling with suitable lifting equipment more convenient. The combination of compact dimensions, relatively low weight and forklift pockets makes the container well suited to projects where the storage unit may need to be relocated.
This is particularly valuable for construction companies and businesses that frequently reorganize storage areas or move equipment between different work locations.
Strong Floor & High Load Capacity
The standard container comes with a 21 mm plywood floor, providing a durable surface for normal storage applications.
The container has a maximum load capacity of 3,500 kg and a maximum floor load of 750 kg/m², allowing it to accommodate a substantial quantity of tools, equipment and materials relative to its compact size.
For customers requiring a different flooring solution, the container can also be supplied with an optional steel or aluminium floor.
Stackable Storage Solution
Another important advantage is its ability to be stacked up to three units high.
This allows businesses with limited floor space to increase their overall storage capacity by using vertical space. Multiple containers can therefore be arranged in a compact storage area while maintaining a practical and organized setup.
Customizable to Your Requirements
The standard container already provides a practical storage solution, but several optional upgrades are available.
Customers can add:
- Thermal insulation
- Electricity and lighting
- Additional access door
- Steel flooring
- Aluminium flooring
- Shelving
- Custom exterior colors
- Company logo or custom tape
These options allow the container to be adapted for applications ranging from simple outdoor equipment storage to a more organized and functional working or storage environment.
