Boxtor was commissioned to supply and install a bespoke 20ft shipping container at Middleton Sports Pavilion, providing the club with a secure, durable, and cost-effective storage solution to support its growing operations and community activities.
The project required careful planning and coordination to ensure the container was delivered and positioned safely within the pavilion grounds while minimising disruption to the local sports club. Overhead cables / Overhanging trees and tricky, restricted access lanes all needed to be noted and taken into consideration prior to delivery.
This 20ft container was modified, with our client requesting cargo doors to be installed within the side of the container, allowing wider and more convenient access than standard end-opening door units. The original cargo doors are retained, to allow for double the access!
The Challenge
- Secure, lockable & fully weatherproof
- Easily accessible for staff and volunteers from side via an additional set of cargo doors
- Green in colour to match the rural landscape (re sprayed in RAL 6007 ‘bottle green’ once the doors were installed on the side).
The Solution
- Site assessment and delivery planning
- Coordination of transport and lifting operations
- Safe positioning of the container within the designated location
- Final installation and handover
Installation
The container was delivered to Middleton Sports Pavilion using a specialist HIAB lorry. Careful consideration was given to site access, ground conditions, and positioning requirements to ensure a smooth installation.
The container was successfully placed on the prepared area and aligned to provide easy access for users while integrating neatly into the existing site layout.
Results
The completed installation delivered several key benefits:
Enhanced Accessibility
The side cargo doors provide full-width access, making it easy to organise, retrieve, and store large sports equipment.
Increased Storage Capacity
The 20ft container offers substantial secure storage space without the need for costly permanent building works.
Improved Security
Constructed from robust steel and fitted with a secure slimline lockbox and 3-bar locking bar doors, the container provides peace of mind for valuable equipment and supplies.
Long-Term Durability
Designed to withstand the elements, the container offers a low-maintenance storage solution that will serve the pavilion for many years.
Conclusion
The successful installation of a 20ft container with side cargo doors at Middleton Sports Pavilion demonstrates how modified shipping containers can provide flexible, practical, and cost-effective storage solutions for sports clubs and community facilities.
By managing the project from delivery through to final positioning, Boxtor ensured a seamless installation process and delivered a storage solution tailored to the pavilion’s specific operational needs.
