Shipping Container Workshops FAQs

What sizes are available for a Royal Wolf shipping container workshop?

Our container workshops come in 20ft and 40ft options, available in either general purpose or high cube sizes. The 20ft workshop is a popular choice among trades needing a balance of space and portability, offering ample room for workbenches, shelving and secure tool storage.

How secure is a portable workshop from Royal Wolf?

Each container workspace is constructed from marine-grade steel and fitted with lockable doors, optional security bars and robust locking systems. This makes them a secure solution for tools, equipment and sensitive materials, even on unattended or remote sites.

Can these workshops be customised for specific tradie needs?

Absolutely. Whether you need adjustable shelving, steel workbenches, additional power points, air conditioning or data outlets, we can configure a tradie container to match your operational requirements. We also offer ramps, roller doors, and tailored fit-outs for specialist trades.

How portable is a container workspace? Can it be moved to new sites?

Yes. One of the key advantages of a Royal Wolf portable workshop by United Rentals is its easy relocation. Built on a standard container footprint, it can be transported by tilt tray, side loader or crane truck and repositioned as your project progresses or moves to a new location.

What's included in a standard 20ft workshop package?

A typical 20ft workshop includes secure doors, lighting, a power board with outlets and safety switches, shelving, and a steel workbench ready to use upon delivery. You can further tailor your workshop with ventilation, additional lighting, or custom colours to meet your site’s or brand’s needs.

Delivery Considerations

When arranging container delivery, specify door direction (to cabin or rear) for proper placement, ensure a level surface for smooth door operation, and advise United Rentals of any obstructions to guarantee a safe, efficient delivery.
