At Threshold Storage we’ve been customising and personalising shipping containers for a long time. Consequently we’ve seen (and done) it all! And when it comes to shipping container accessories, we know all the tips and tricks that are required to turn an ordinary shipping container into a masterpiece of convenience and utility.

Specialist and Ready-Made Modified Shipping Containers

Of course, our specialist and ready-made shipping containers already have many container accessories pre-installed. Our first aid room is stocked with medical supplies and ready to go. Switch rooms already come with air conditioning and insulation. Site rooms already have power and lighting. And our accommodation containers and ablution blocks have all the requisite conveniences like toilets and showers pre-installed. Truth be known, you may actually find that our standard conversions have exactly what you need and that you don’t have to do or add a thing. But if and when you do need to accessorise…we’ve got the range of accessories to get the job done right!

Accessorise Your Container to Your Unique Specifications

Every business is different, and many clients have specific requests like extra windows, more doors, paint, signage, shelving, flooring, workbenches, desks, and security measures. Extra double doors on the other side of the container? No problem. A few more walls? Easily fixed. Insulation, a whirly-bird and vents for a storage container? Of course. A paint job in your company colours with a logo and advertising on the outside? Done. These are all simple and common requests that are easily arranged by Port.

Completely Customised and Modified Special Projects

Of course we can also create completely customised shipping containers from scratch as well (our special projects page shows some terrific examples of the amazing things that can be created out of a shipping container!) so if you have a specific idea for a special project, give us a call. We love a challenge, and turning a shipping container (or several) into something innovative and new is always fun. Whatever you can imagine, we can create.
