Container Modifications and Custom Builds
Boxtainer Inc. provides comprehensive custom container modification capabilities across Ontario. Our team converts standard New One-Trip and Used Cargo Worthy units by adding steel man doors, windows, aluminum roll-up doors, spray foam insulation, custom electrical packages, interior framing, and wall panels. Actual Boxtainer project photographs showcase these customized features, illustrating how tailored craftsmanship transforms raw steel containers into functional, high-quality structures.
Job-Site Offices & Conversions
Shipping container office conversions provide dedicated, climate-controlled space directly on working job sites. These modifications require tailored spray foam insulation, HVAC systems, lighting, and power distribution installations. They represent potential custom applications rather than off-the-shelf ready units, ensuring that each field office is built to meet specific contractor, safety, and operational requirements.
Pop-Up Retail & Specialized Commercial Structures
Modified shipping containers offer commercial retailers and brand managers flexible, striking physical storefronts. Outfitted with roll-up doors, customer entry doors, and display windows, pop-up storefronts and specialized commercial structures are provided exclusively as custom builds requiring individual project assessments and quotes. They are distinct from standard basic rental inventory, allowing businesses to tailor layout, aesthetics, and electrical configurations to their exact sales environment.
Agricultural & Farm Storage
Agricultural producers across Ontario rely on shipping containers for secure equipment, seed, supply, and tool storage. Standard Cargo Worthy containers deliver wind- and watertight security on farm sites. However, standard containers are not automatically suitable for hazardous chemical storage or food processing without specialized engineering design, ventilation upgrades, interior lining, and full regulatory compliance assessments.
Workshops, Event Structures & Permits
Converting containers into production workshops, ticketing booths, or event venues represents specialized custom applications. Depending on location and use, structural modifications, engineering drawings, municipal building permits, accessibility standards, electrical code compliance, and fire-safety regulations may apply. Boxtainer assists clients with fabrication and modification execution, but does not automatically provide all municipal permitting or architectural/engineering services.
Security Features & Heavy-Duty Protection
High-value tools, machinery, and commercial inventory benefit from the structural integrity of heavy-gauge Corten steel construction, solid cargo doors, and suitable lockboxes. These elements provide strong security features against unauthorized entry, though they should not be described as entirely theft-proof. Note that lockboxes are not standard on all used units unless specifically requested during order placement.
Rental Terms & Billing Details
For temporary storage needs, rental units provide standard, unmodified basic storage capacity. Rental billing occurs on the 1st of each calendar month. Boxtainer does not offer prorated rates or early-return credits, and delivery and pickup fees are charged separately from monthly rental fees.
