Width x Depth x Canopy Height

Transform your large-scale storage capabilities with the Kit Buildings Steel Container Canopy 33ft x 40ft x 12ft, expertly engineered to provide reliable protection for extensive warehousing and industrial operations. This substantial shelter delivers professional-grade performance with practical design features optimized for demanding commercial applications.

Premium Steel Construction Standards Built with hot-dip galvanized steel tubing, this canopy framework undergoes an intensive galvanization process that creates exceptional corrosion protection. The single truss design is specifically engineered to handle the 40ft span efficiently while providing superior structural integrity across varying weather conditions and load requirements.

The 0.7mm box section steel paneling delivers comprehensive weather protection with enhanced impact resistance. This heavy-duty steel covering incorporates fire-retardant properties and provides complete weatherproofing while maintaining structural rigidity, ensuring reliable protection for staff and stored equipment from harmful UV rays and environmental damage.

Intelligent Design Configuration The impressive 12ft height clearance accommodates tall machinery, large vehicles, and multi-level storage systems, while the 33ft x 40ft footprint provides optimal coverage for dual container arrangements. The clean-span design eliminates internal supports, maximizing usable space and ensuring unrestricted access for loading operations and equipment movement.

This canopy is specifically designed for mounting securely on top of two standard shipping containers, creating an expanded storage facility that maximizes the utility of existing container investments.

Available In A Variety of Sizes We have worked with a variety of different customers over the years, and in that time we have tried to make sure that our products will accommodate different organizations' and individuals' needs. You can contact us at the time of enquiring with the dimensions you require, and we will be able to manufacture bespoke container canopies tailored to your specific operational requirements.

This substantial model provides an excellent foundation for customization, with our manufacturing capabilities enabling precise modifications to match your site constraints and workflow needs.

Front and Back Panel Options As well as a measure of customization when it comes to the size of your container canopy, you also have the choice between having front and back panels or not. Many of our customers prefer to invest in a shelter that allows for easy access at the front or back, maintaining open workflow for loading and operational activities.

However, if you are looking to create a secure storage space with enhanced weather protection, you may wish to invest in front and back panel components as well. Optional enclosed designs include closed back panels and front panels featuring electric steel roller shutters for maximum security and controlled access.

Easy to Install We want to provide the best customer experience from the point of ordering a container canopy shelter to when it arrives at your chosen delivery destination. We have ensured that these shelters are easy to install, with comprehensive instructions clearly laid out that make erecting these incredibly strong and weather-resistant structures straightforward.

Our step-by-step installation guides include detailed diagrams, photographic references, and complete component lists to ensure successful assembly. The precision-engineered components and modular design minimize installation complexity while maintaining structural integrity.

If, due to time and manpower issues, you don't want to do it yourself, let us know at the time of ordering and we can arrange for our experienced installation team to visit your premises and professionally erect and install it for you.

Anchoring Systems for Mounting We have included anchoring systems specifically designed to streamline the installation process. These systems enable easy and secure mounting on ISO standard containers, high cube containers, steel beams, or concrete blocks. The standard anchoring systems utilize flat base plates for welding to containers, ensuring maximum stability and safety during setup. We can provide a clamp anchoring system for an additional cost for applications requiring non-permanent installation.

We supply comprehensive written installation instructions with every order, complemented by detailed video guides when available. Our expert team is always on hand to provide guidance and answer any questions you may have throughout the installation process.
