One the most common use of shipping containers is for general storage, sometimes we even get a bit extravagant and build a cosy home with them.


Recently we have had a number of sports clubs enquiring about shipping containers as a source of extra storage, whether it’s a pair of muddy rugby boots, goal posts that need tucking away or just general equipment after a well-played game. Sometimes we all run out of storage and start a quest for a solution to solve it, because, let’s be honest, not all sport clubs have a big storage capacity, compared to a clubs like Sale Sharks or Manchester United. 

Staying efficient and maximising the space of your container couldn’t get any easier with so many different options to choose from. We can help meet your requirements, so if it’s a rugby tackle bag that weighs up to 20kg or a scrum machine that needs storing away, shipping containers are the right solution for you.
Heavy duty and safe work floor ramps are available to provide a steady slope incline to access the container with larger items, that may require a bit of man handling. 

Here at Lion Containers we can offer a number of ways to store this equipment as containers are so easy to convert. To make your container the ultimate storage space you can install
heavy duty shelving, which is ideal for general equipment to keep it nice and tidy. Custom built slatted shelves or a bespoke Cantilever Unistrut adjustable shelving system are also an ideal way to maximise the height within a container, these are ideal for general sport equipment, sails, uniform, balls and much more. 

Sometimes it can get dark early but we still need to access the container and it can really get dark and lonely inside there. Well, a genius named Humphry Davy, an English scientist, was the first person to create light in the 1800s and a
lighting package may just be the ideal thing for you. Anti-corrosive lighting and a switch which comes along with an RCD Consumer unit and external hook up is perfect for those dark days, meeting health and safety regulations and giving better vision to store your equipment efficiently. 

Shipping containers are an ideal solution for storage at sports clubs because they are easy to transport, access and modify.  In my experience here at Lion Containers I have dealt with a few sports clubs who’ve purchased containers for that one purpose. Read a recent interview I did with a
