Leaving equipment and inventory stacked on the floor of a shipping container leads to damaged goods, safety hazards, and wasted vertical space. The Adjustable Heavy-Duty 3-Tier Shipping Container Racking (5 Bay System) transforms any standard ISO container into an organized, high-density warehouse unit.
Engineered to span the internal length of a 20ft container (or half the wall of a 40ft unit), this 5-bay modular shelving setup utilizes structural steel uprights and heavy-duty box beams to hold industrial tools, building supplies, automotive parts, and commercial stock safely off the deck.
No Wall Drilling Required: The freestanding frame design rests securely against the internal floor, eliminating the need to drill, weld, or alter the container’s Corten steel walls or ruin its weatherproof seal.
Rapid Boltless Assembly: Built with a heavy-duty keyhole lock mechanism, allowing two people to assemble all 5 bays in under 45 minutes using only a rubber mallet.
640kg UDL Per Level: Reinforced beam profiles prevent sagging under extreme loads, accommodating up to 9,600 kg across the entire 5-bay installation when load is uniformly distributed (UDL).
Pitch Adjustments: Upright frames feature 50mm adjustment increments, enabling you to reconfigure shelf heights instantly to fit large machinery, storage crates, or Euro pallets.
Powder-Coated Finish: Finished with a tough, impact-resistant epoxy powder coat that resists moisture, rust, and chemical spills inside unconditioned container environments.
Heavy-Duty Decking Options: Choose between 18mm high-density, moisture-resistant timber decking panels or drop-in steel wire mesh decks for hazardous material airflow.

Standard 20ft Container Fitment: A 5-bay run fits continuously along one 20ft side wall, leaving ample central aisle clearance for personnel and pallet trucks.
Standard 40ft Container Fitment: Install two 5-bay kits end-to-end to line a complete 40ft wall, or run a single 5-bay setup alongside a container office conversion.
Floor Loading Considerations: Ensure your container floor is level and free of debris prior to loading the racking frames to ensure equal load distribution across all footplates.
A 5-bay container racking system is specifically sized to fit along one full side wall of a standard 20ft shipping container, maximizing vertical storage space while leaving a clear central walkway.
No. Our 3 tier shipping container shelving or industrial container storage shelves is completely freestanding and self-supporting. It sits on the container floor, eliminating the need to drill holes or weld brackets to the container structure, which preserves the container’s wind and watertight integrity.
Each tier/shelf level has a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) capacity of up to 640 kg, giving each individual 3-tier bay a total weight capacity of 1,920 kg.
