20ft Shipping Container Racking Kit — Single Bay 3-Tier
Convert your 20ft container into an organised, high-capacity storage system. This single bay, three-tier steel racking kit is purpose-built for standard 20ft ISO container interiors. Furthermore, it also installs in 30ft and 40ft containers.
Each kit covers one side of the container. Order two kits to rack both sides. In addition, the end wall of a 20ft container provides enough clearance for racking. Therefore, pair this kit with our three-tier racking for rear of container to maximise every available wall.
All steel components are powder coated in blue and orange for a tough, scratch-resistant finish. Each 25mm chipboard shelf supports up to 550kg of evenly distributed load.

Assembly Overview
The end frames arrive pre-assembled. Therefore, on-site setup is fast with no specialist tools required.
Step 1 — Position the End Frames
Stand both end frames upright along the container side wall. Space them 2250mm apart.
Step 2 — Slot in the Beams
Slot two beams per tier into the corresponding height holes on each end frame. Furthermore, repeat for all three shelf levels.
Step 3 — Attach Safety Clips
Clip the safety clips onto each beam end. As a result, the beams are locked and cannot dislodge under load.
Step 4 — Lay the Chipboard Shelves
Place the 25mm chipboard panels onto each beam pair. The shelves sit flat and are ready to load immediately.
How Many Kits Do I Need?
This kit covers one side of the container with a single 2250mm bay. Order two kits to start both side walls. Additionally, order up to four kits total to fill all two bay positions on both sides of a 20ft container. For complete coverage, add our rear-of-container racking kit for the end wall.
