The rear wall of a shipping container is frequently underutilized or blocked by disorganised stock. The Adjustable Heavy-Duty 3-Tier Container Rear Racking System solves this layout bottleneck by providing a custom-engineered shelving solution that sits flush against the internal end-wall of any standard ISO container.
Whether you operate a self-storage site, a construction site compound, or a mobile workshop, this 3-tier racking setup converts lost floor space into an organized, high-density storage bay capable of carrying up to 1,800 kg total load capacity.
Precision Sizing: Designed to span the internal width (~2.28m) of standard shipping containers, creating a seamless wall-to-wall storage bay at the back of the unit.
No Drilling Required: Free-standing, rigid steel construction means you don’t need to weld or drill into the container skin, preserving your container’s structural integrity and weatherproofing.
High UDL Ratings: Built with cold-rolled structural steel uprights and heavy-duty beam profiles capable of supporting up to 600 kg per shelf level under Uniformly Distributed Loads (UDL).
Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Powder-coated in an industrial-grade finish to protect against rust, dampness, and condensation common in uninsulated steel containers across the UK.
50mm Beam Pitch: Easily move shelf levels up or down along keyhole slots to store items ranging from compact EURO crates and toolboxes to oversized machinery parts.
Rapid Installation: The boltless slot-in design allows a two-person team to assemble the entire three-tier frame in under 20 minutes with only a rubber mallet.

| Shelf Decking Options | Heavy-duty steel mesh, high-density chipboard, or galvanized steel panels | Moisture-resistant options ideal for uninsulated containers |
| Assembly Style | 100% Boltless / Keyhole drop-lock frame | Rapid, tool-free installation without drilling into container walls |
Placement First: Install the rear wall racking before loading side-wall shelving or heavy machinery to ensure complete maneuverability at the back of the container.
Floor Leveling: Ensure your container is seated on level ground (concrete pads, railroad ties, or hardstanding) so weight is distributed evenly across both upright frames.
Optional Tie-Downs: While the unit is self-supporting, optional top-lashing brackets can be connected directly to the container’s internal corner D-rings for additional stability during transport or site relocations.
No. The 3-tier rear racking system is entirely free-standing and boltless. It sits securely against the internal rear end-wall without requiring any drilling, welding, or modifications to the container body.
Yes. Standard 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft ISO shipping containers share identical internal rear wall widths (~2.28m), making this rear racking unit universally compatible across all standard container lengths.
Depending on your selected beam and decking profile, each height-adjustable shelf tier supports between 450 kg and 600 kg Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL), offering a total unit capacity of up to 1,800 kg.
