40ft Mobile Tuck Shop Container

SKU MG-40SHOP-TS · Held at Johannesburg, Gauteng

A 40ft container converted into a full trading outlet: two serving hatches with counters allow two service points, shelving runs down both walls and a partitioned back area holds stock, a prep bench or a wash-up sink. The electrical installation carries lighting, plug circuits and a distribution board, and the hatches shutter down to a secure steel box overnight. Painted inside and out and delivered ready to trade. Built for busy taxi ranks, forecourts, markets and township high streets.

The shell is fabricated from Corten A weathering steel — a copper, chromium and nickel alloy that forms a tightly adherent oxide layer instead of the flaking scale you get on mild steel. That patina slows further corrosion, which is why a 25-year-old box can still be structurally sound while a painted mild-steel shed of the same age has perforated.

Side and end panels are 14-gauge (2.0mm) corrugated sheet welded to a rigid frame of rolled top and bottom rails with cast steel corner fittings on the ISO 1161 pattern. Roof panels are 2.0mm with an arch profile that shifts standing water toward the eaves. Flooring is 28mm marine-grade plywood over steel cross-members on nominal 300mm centres, rated for a 7 260 kg forklift axle load.

Expect surface oxidation on used grades: it is cosmetic. We reject units with through-plate pitting, cracked welds at the corner posts, or bowed rails, because those defects affect stacking strength and cannot be repaired economically in the field.
