Storage container conversions featured in some of our most impressive projects this year. The Lion team transformed standard shipping containers into practical, durable and highly efficient storage units for a variety of clients. Each conversion provided a unique storage solution and delivered fast, reliable results. Take a look at these top 3 storage container conversions from Lion Containers:
1. Bike Storage Container
A national transport company needed secure bike parking for staff who cycle to work. Lion delivered a 16ft container, modified from a standard size to suit the client’s specific requirements. The team installed a manual roller shutter for reliable access and fitted floor-mounted bike racks at both ends for efficient organisation. On the exterior, the container was sprayed in RAL 6007 green to match the client’s branding. The result was a compact and accessible bike store delivered in under 3 weeks.
2. Agricultural Chemical Storage Container
A returning customer managing multiple farms required a high-capacity chemical storage unit. Lion provided a 40ft high-cube container with a bunded floor for safe chemical spill containment, ventilation and reinforced access to meet Environment Agency standards. The project took just 21 days and spanned 300 sq ft of space. This container conversion delivered safe, compliant chemical storage that meets farm demands.
3. School Equipment Storage Container
A school in Walsall needed secure extra space for everyday equipment and supplies. Lion supplied a new one-trip 20ft container finished in RAL 5010 and coated its roof with Grafo-Therm to control condensation. The conversions team also installed heavy-duty widespan shelving and certified electrics, completing the build in just 4 weeks. This container conversion gave the school clutter-free storage paired with long-term durability.
Why These Storage Container Conversions Stand Out
These projects show how versatile container conversions can be:
- Tailored to purpose
- Delivered on tight timelines
- Built to last in demanding conditions
From bikes to chemicals to school supplies, storage containers adapt brilliantly when modified with care and expertise.
