Shipping Container Parts Storage Layouts
Hello All,
I hope everyone is staying safe and well. Has anyone a parts storage setup in a shipping container that you are happy with - and would like to share? What size shipping container did you buy? There seem to be some good deals lately on the prices of shipping containers. I want to consolidate a number of parts vehicles to make my paddock look a bit tidier. After some vehicles are disassembled the parts will could be stored in a shipping container. Items to be stored are things like differentials and bulky body panels like mudguards (fenders), doors, windscreens and wheels. Plus one or two good chassis. Engines and gearboxes will be stored in my shed. I am thinking of making a multi-tier stepped rack to stack the differentials on. To be able to move heavy things I would like an overhead "I" beam which a chain block can be suspended from. I would also like to maintain a corridor so I do not risk life and limb every time I want to retrieve a part. So 3/4 of the space would be racks and shelving - not piles of unsorted detritus. There would be a walk-way either along one side or centrally. Has anyone set up their shipping container like this? Does it seem achievable? What other ideas would you like to add to solve your parts storage issues? Kind regards Lionel
