🛠️ Built to Sell — Designed to Represent
This unit isn’t just a container. It’s a mobile extension of your business identity. Built from a one-trip 20ft shipping container, it maintains all the security and structural benefits of CORTEN steel, while being fully modified to suit your client-facing needs.
With modern exterior finishing, full electrical fit-out, and optional HVAC, it’s a plug-and-play workspace that helps you meet clients, manage sales, or operate on the go.
🧩 Why a Shipping Container Sales Office?
A Shipping Container Sales Office is more than just a clever alternative to a traditional building — it’s a flexible, brand-forward solution for modern businesses that require agility, portability, and presence. Whether you’re in real estate, construction, events, or mobile retail, a container-based sales office gives you the power to operate from virtually any location — without sacrificing professionalism, comfort, or credibility.
Let’s break down what makes this option so strategically valuable:
With a shipping container sales office, you’re no longer tied to a single location. Need to relocate your team to a new construction site? Moving your dealership kiosk to a higher-traffic zone? Hosting a pop-up shop at a weekend event? A container-based office allows you to do all of this with minimal downtime.
👉 It’s your business hub — ready to roll wherever the opportunity is.
Unlike trailers or tents, shipping containers offer a solid steel surface perfect for branding. You can paint, wrap, or logo-stamp your company identity directly on the unit. Want to match your corporate color scheme? Need your contact info displayed boldly for drive-by visibility?
👉 Your office becomes a 24/7 billboard — one that people take seriously.
Constructing a traditional sales office requires permits, contractors, inspections, and weeks (sometimes months) of waiting. A container office can be delivered fully modified in a fraction of the time, and often without the need for permanent foundations or permits in temporary setups.
👉 Get up and running in days, not months.
Each sales container is made of CORTEN steel, originally engineered for cargo ships — which means it’s designed to handle harsh environments and resist tampering. With reinforced doors, internal locks, and optional lockboxes, your equipment, documents, and furniture stay secure after-hours or between deployments.
👉 It’s far more robust than trailers or tents — and safer than leaving things on-site.
Between high construction costs and ongoing lease payments, establishing a physical sales point can become financially burdensome — especially if your operations shift regularly. A 20ft sales container offers a cost-effective solution that gives you everything you need — from power and insulation to layout and furniture — at a price that’s often half (or less) the cost of traditional setups.
👉 Maximize ROI while projecting a professional image.
A 20ft Sales Centre Container is not a compromise — it’s a calculated upgrade for mobile, modern businesses who want full control over where and how they operate. It’s practical, modular, visually impactful, and built to work as hard as you do.
🧰 Common Customizations – Make It Uniquely Yours
We understand that no two businesses operate the same way — and that’s why our container modification services are fully end-to-end. Whether you’re launching a temporary site office, a permanent mobile showroom, or an experiential pop-up space, our design team will help you customize the unit for maximum impact, efficiency, and comfort.
Here’s a deeper look at the most requested add-ons for our 20ft Sales Centre containers:
Swap the standard steel door for a full-glass entrance or dual glass doors that double as a visual invitation to your space. Want to maximize natural light? Add fixed or sliding windows, complete with security shutters or tinting for privacy and heat control.
Ideal for: Real estate offices, customer reception zones, and retail activation points.
Your Sales Centre needs more than just four walls — it needs functional infrastructure. We install a complete pre-wired electrical system, including:
- Interior & exterior lighting (LED options available)
- Standard power outlets and USB ports
- Integrated breaker panel for load safety
- Optional exterior power hookup or generator integration
This makes your unit ready to plug and play, perfect for laptops, monitors, card readers, printers, and more.
We build custom cabinetry, desks, counters, and wall shelving directly into your container to match your workflow and layout preferences. Whether it’s a wraparound sales desk, a storage counter, or product display zones, these installations are secure, space-efficient, and designed to endure rugged use.
Available in: Laminate, wood grain, composite, and metal frame finishes.
Climate control is critical for both your team and your clients. We offer:
- Window-mounted AC units
- Mini-split systems with heating and cooling
- Ceiling vents and fans for air circulation
- Wall insulation upgrades to maintain interior comfort year-round
No matter your climate zone, we’ll make your container office a welcoming environment in all seasons.
Need to discuss contracts, handle sensitive client interactions, or host presentations? Our team can integrate acoustic insulation and sound-absorbing panels within the walls and ceiling to reduce exterior noise and enhance interior privacy.
Great for: Sales negotiations, consultations, and medical or legal outreach centers.
Your Sales Centre should represent your business the moment clients arrive. Choose from:
- Custom color schemes
- Full vinyl wraps
- Painted company logos
- Panel-mount exterior signage
- Backlit or embossed branding installations
We’ll help you create a polished, recognizable presence whether your container is parked at a trade event, construction site, or roadside display.
Don’t want to source furnishings yourself? Select from our pre-designed interior furnishing kits, including:
- Desks and chairs (standard or ergonomic)
- Waiting area seating
- Filing cabinets or mobile storage units
- Display tables, mini fridges, or client-facing counter stations
We can install everything ahead of delivery, so your unit arrives fully equipped and move-in ready.

🚚 Site Access Requirements – What You Need to Prepare Before Delivery
To ensure a safe, smooth, and timely delivery of your 20ft Sales Centre Shipping Container, certain site conditions must be in place before our logistics team arrives. Whether you’re receiving a base shell or a fully customized office build, the success of your delivery depends on proper preparation and accessibility at the drop site.
Here’s what you need to verify:
Your delivery location must be accessible at ground level with a firm and level surface where the container can be safely set down. Ideal surfaces include compacted gravel, concrete pads, asphalt, or other stable terrain that prevents tilting, sinking, or shifting once the unit is in place.
⚠️ Avoid soft or uneven surfaces like loose dirt, slopes, or grass-only foundations, as these can compromise both delivery safety and long-term unit stability.
The access point to your site should have at least 10 feet of unobstructed horizontal clearance to accommodate delivery trucks and trailers. This includes driveways, gates, alleyways, and pathways leading up to the drop zone.
📏 For crane-assisted deliveries, additional clearance may be required depending on the container's intended placement location and the swing radius of the crane boom.
Ensure there are no low-hanging obstructions such as power lines, tree branches, awnings, signs, or building overhangs in the delivery area. A minimum vertical clearance of 14 to 18 feet is recommended, especially for tilt-bed or crane-lift deliveries.
🚧 If overhead obstructions are unavoidable, a site visit and custom delivery planning may be required.
Containers are heavy (even empty) and require a solid base. Soft or saturated ground can lead to delivery complications like:
- The truck getting stuck or damaging your landscape
- The container sinking, tilting, or becoming misaligned
- Safety risks during unloading or crane lift
✅ If you only have a grass-covered site, we recommend installing wooden dunnage, concrete pads, or a gravel bed ahead of time to support the container evenly.
For locations with tight access or where a standard tilt-bed drop isn't possible, we offer crane-assisted delivery. This allows us to position your sales center with greater precision — over fences, between buildings, or into elevated or constrained areas.
🧭 Our team will coordinate with you in advance to evaluate lifting points, equipment access, and final placement orientation. A crane-ready site is key to avoiding delays or additional setup costs.
Take clear photos of your site and send them to our delivery coordinator before your scheduled drop-off. This allows us to pre-assess the access path, identify any potential risks, and recommend the best delivery method.

🧾 What’s Included in the Standard Package
Every 20ft Sales Centre Shipping Container ordered from 24/7 Container Inc. comes with a professionally prepared base build that balances affordability, readiness, and customization potential. This package is ideal for buyers looking to quickly establish a branded workspace with foundational modifications — while retaining flexibility to add more later.
We start with a one-trip (like-new) 20ft container, offering superior structural integrity, no rust or major dents, and a clean, presentable interior. Manufactured overseas and used just once for international cargo transport, it delivers the quality of a new build without the cost.
We include precision-cut openings for a personnel door (steel or glass) and window(s) based on your preferences. These cutouts are framed and sealed, ready for further fit-out with storefront glass, single/double-pane windows, or custom inserts during the modification process.
Each unit receives either a base coat primer or a standard color finish (typically white, grey, or beige) to protect against corrosion and prepare for custom branding. Customers can choose to upgrade to full wrap, custom paint jobs, or logo decals in our add-ons section.
We outfit the interior walls with durable lining material, such as ¾” plywood sheathing or PVC/composite wall panels, which provides a smooth, insulating surface to support further finishing (e.g., shelving, electrical, insulation, paint). It also helps eliminate condensation and improves thermal control.
Before dispatch, our logistics team coordinates directly with you to assess your site, verify access, confirm drop location, and align delivery methods (tilt-bed, flatbed, or crane). We ensure your container arrives exactly how and where you want it — no guesswork, no last-minute surprises.
Security matters, especially for mobile sales environments. Each unit is lockbox-ready, and we offer optional heavy-duty lockboxes or weatherproof padlocks for purchase. If selected, the lockbox is welded onto the container before delivery, offering additional protection for your business assets.
🛡️ Warranty & Support – Confidence That Travels With You
Every 20ft Sales Centre Shipping Container purchased from 24/7 Container Inc. is backed by our comprehensive 24-Month Limited Warranty, specifically extended to cover both the container shell and the modifications made in-house.
