Need secure storage space but don't have room for a traditional 20-foot or 40-foot shipping container?
The 9' Small Cubic Shipping Container offers a compact, durable alternative for organizing tools, equipment, supplies, and household belongings.
Built from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, this container features rear cargo doors, a convenient side entry door, and a built-in window.
Its compact exterior dimensions make it a practical option for residential properties, construction sites, farms, workshops, and commercial storage applications.
Whether you're looking for additional storage or exploring a custom workspace project, this versatile steel container provides a durable starting point.
Measuring approximately 9 feet long, 7.3 feet wide, and 8.2 feet high, this container offers substantial enclosed storage without requiring the space of a full-size shipping container.
The manufacturer lists interior dimensions of approximately:
7.9' L x 6.6' W x 6.6' H
This provides approximately 52 square feet of interior floor space, based on the listed dimensions.
Potential storage applications include:
Construction tools and equipment
Landscaping supplies
Gardening tools and outdoor equipment
Farm and agricultural supplies
Maintenance equipment
Household storage bins
Seasonal belongings
Business inventory
Jobsite materials and supplies
The compact footprint makes it useful where space is limited but secure enclosed storage is still needed.
The container is manufactured using Corten steel, a material commonly used in shipping containers because of its strength and atmospheric corrosion resistance.
Corten steel is designed to develop a protective surface layer under suitable environmental conditions, helping reduce corrosion over time.
The manufacturer describes this container as waterproof and suitable for protecting stored belongings from rain and snow.
As with any steel storage container, proper maintenance of door seals, joints, and surface coatings remains important.
The container includes rear cargo doors designed to provide access for loading and unloading stored materials.
The manufacturer lists the rear door dimensions as:
84 inches wide x 89 inches high
These dimensions should be confirmed as clear opening measurements before purchasing equipment that requires precise clearance.
The rear doors make it easier to organize and retrieve larger items compared with a container that has only a narrow personnel entrance.
In addition to the rear cargo doors, the container includes a side man door.
The listed side door dimensions are:
31.5 inches wide x 77 inches high
This provides convenient everyday access without requiring the rear cargo doors to be opened.
For homeowners and businesses using the container for frequently accessed tools or supplies, the side entrance offers practical flexibility.
Unlike many traditional storage containers, this model includes a window.
The manufacturer lists the window dimensions as:
33.5 inches wide x 33.5 inches high
The window allows natural daylight into the container, making it easier to locate equipment and organize stored belongings during daytime use.
The supplier describes airflow through the door and window, although it has not confirmed whether the window is operable.
The container features a lock box designed to protect the locking area and help discourage tampering.
A lock box adds a useful security feature for customers storing tools, equipment, or other belongings.
The manufacturer has not specified whether a padlock is included.
This compact container can serve as a starting point for a variety of projects.
Potential applications include:
Residential storage
Construction-site equipment storage
Agricultural supply storage
Commercial inventory storage
Workshop conversion projects
Small studio or office conversion projects
The manufacturer also promotes the container for custom modification.
However, converting a shipping container into an occupied office, studio, or other habitable space may require insulation, ventilation, electrical systems, structural modifications, and local building approvals.
The container is sold as a storage structure, not as a finished habitable building.
The manufacturer lists the following color references:
Beige — RAL 1015
Light Grey — RAL 7035
Important: The supplier states that the shipped color is random. Specific color selection should not be guaranteed unless confirmed before ordering.
