Are you a handyman or woman? Do you the lack the space to work on projects? Maybe you do art and crafts and need a unique space to work? Your garage crammed with stored goods? Possibly a tradesperson who needs a mobile workshop? Whatever your requirements, a modified shipping container could be the ideal solution!

Shipping containers are durable, versatile and portable. They are therefore perfect as a static or mobile workshop. At SEA Containers, we specialise in modifying shipping containers into mobile studios to suit individual needs. These workshops are designed and constructed so that they can be transported efficiently to your home or worksite. You can customise the container workshop, by designing it to neatly store tools and equipment. An insulated and air-conditioned studio is a cost efficient solution. It is easily transportable and can be installed with desired modifications such as plumbing, electricity, shelving, racks and so forth.
The quintessential Kiwi tradesperson will benefit from a portable workshop. Engineers, carpenters, plumbers, mechanics, as well as artists, sculptors, painters can have a convenient and reliable place to operate a business or craft without having to load and unload heavy tools and equipment. If you should decide that the container workshop is surplus to your requirements or you need to move it to another location, it is the perfect solution.
