Frequently Asked Questions

What types of shipping container racking and shelving do you offer?

We offer a full range of pipe racking brackets, shelving brackets, wooden racking boards, and a work bench with an integrated pipe rack bracket. You can buy 1-tier, 2-tier, 3-tier, or 4-tier setups depending on how much storage you need.

Are the brackets compatible with all shipping containers?

Yes. Our brackets are designed to fit standard shipping containers. They attach securely to the container’s internal structure.

What’s the difference between pipe racking and shelving brackets?

Pipe racking brackets support round items such as pipes, tubing, timber, or long materials. Shelving brackets are made for flat shelves, using our wooden racking boards or your own boards.

What load can container racking hold?

Each bracket set is built for heavy-duty use and can hold up to 500kg per bracket, but overall load capacity will depend on the number of tiers and your setup. If you’re storing heavier items, we recommend checking the product details or contacting our team for guidance.

Do I need wooden boards for the shelving brackets?

Shelving brackets are supplied without wooden boards, but you can buy our racking boards separately or use boards of your own. Boards are only needed if you are creating flat shelving, pipe racking does not require them.

How is the racking installed inside the container?

All our shipping container racking and shelving solutions are easy to install and fix directly to your container’s D-rings, so there’s no drilling or permanent modifications needed. For a full walkthrough, watch our installation video above.
