Container modifications: If you can dream it - we can build it.

Container modifications and customisation can be as simple as adding a window or door, painting the container with your company branding, or as complex as building fully fitted out housing units, portable bars and medical clinics.

Ultimately if you can dream it up, and you've got the budget, we can modify and build it. Boxman has a team of engineers focused on turning your ideas into a reality. Container modification is a strength of our business we take great pride in, so please contact us with your container modification ideas.

This page illustrates some simple shipping container modification and customisation options, as well as some of the more complex projects we undertake. To see some of Boxman's branded and sign-written containers and trade show container ideas, please click here.

Boxman modified and created this display container for The New Zealand Merino Company, with a drop down side and awning.

Our part in this project involved the steel work, fitting of windows and doors, some interior walls and building the innovative fold up decking base.

Our part in this project involved the basic steel work and cutting very accurate holes for the windows and doors.

The brief from the client was to provide a functional on-site toilet unit for their construction staff.

The brief from the client was to provide comfortable semi-permanent accommodation for their office staff located at their vineyards in Marlborough.

We fit all types of standard doors, ranch sliders or roller doors, all of which can be placed behind the container doors for security.

Full side opening doors can be built from scratch and fitted to the side of your container.

We can repair and repaint your container as well as add company branding on new containers. View colour options.

Adding a lock-box to the doors of your container provides extra security at minimal additional cost.

Windows are relatively easy to fit to a container, and are surprisingly cost effective.

A full bathroom can be added to your container, and we can build portable toilet/shower blocks.

We can create a basic office unit, and provide shelving, cupboards and workspaces within a mobile workshop.
