How Can I Install Shelves in Storage Containers?
Installing a shelving system in a shipping container is a pretty straightforward process, so long as you have the right tools and products.
You can also ask your container provider about storage containers with pre-installed shelves.
If you choose to perform a DIY installation, you should secure access to the following products:
Shelving Products Required for the Process
Wooden Plank: This part will function as the shelf
D-Rings: A D-ring drop attaches to the welded loops in the container
Bracket Mounts: Mounted shelf brackets carry the weight of the plank or the pipe rack.
T-Bar: T-bars provide bottom support to the wooden shelf
Stray Strap: If you want to tighten the arms of your shelving brackets, you can use a stray strap
Installation Process
Follow these simple steps to install shipping container shelving:
Step 1: Use the D-ring to hang the shelf bracket from the welded loops in your storage container. If your container does not have space to hang the bracket, you can make a hole inside or weld a loop. Attach a T-bar at the bottom of the frame.
Step 2: Place the plank between the brackets. Ensure that it's properly in the center and doesn't overhang. Ideally, about one inch hang on each side is sufficient.
Step 3: Snap the plank in place and ensure that the inside edges point up.
Step 4: Repeat the process for all the shelf levels.
