Our DuoCon one-tripper shipping container is a smart, cost-effective way to get two new 10ft steel containers in a single delivery. We receive the container as a standard 20ft unit, cut it in half at our facility, install internal end panels, and apply touch-up paint — giving you two clean, ready-to-use 10ft containers.
The DuoCon design saves on overseas freight, since a foreign shipper can fully load the 20ft container before it ships, meaning you only pay for one overseas freight movement instead of two. Each 10ft unit retains the original two swing doors, two sets of fork pockets, and steel corner casting blocks for overhead lifting.

Key Features of the DuoCon One-Tripper Shipping Container
Two Containers, One Delivery
The DuoCon ships as a single 20ft unit, saving on overseas freight costs. After delivery, we cut and fabricate it into two separate 10ft containers, both ready to use straight away.
Cor-Ten 14-Gauge Steel Body
We build every unit from non-corrosive Cor-Ten 14-gauge steel — tough and long-lasting, handling harsh outdoor conditions without rusting or losing structural strength.
High Security Steel Lockbox
Every DuoCon unit includes a high-security steel lockbox as standard, and the vandal-proof locking bar system on the swing doors makes forced entry extremely difficult.
Watertight Rubber Door Gaskets
Heavy rubber gaskets seal the doors tightly, keeping rain, wind, and moisture out so your goods remain dry and protected in all weather conditions.
Fork Pockets and Overhead Lifting Blocks
Each unit has two sets of fork pockets for ground-level empty lifting, and steel corner casting blocks at each corner allow safe overhead crane lifting at any site or depot.
Ashtray Vents and Lashing Rings
Ashtray vents allow steady airflow through the container, preventing condensation from building up inside, and lashing rings keep goods firmly in place during transport.
Applications for the DuoCon One-Tripper Shipping Container
Construction Sites
The 10ft unit is light and easy to move, suiting active construction sites where storage needs change often. Use it for tools, materials, and equipment, and move it when the job is done.
Retail Kiosks and Concession Stands
The compact size works well for pop-up retail and concession stands, and is easy to set up, lock up, and move to the next event or market location.
Control Rooms and Secure Storage
The steel body and high-security lockbox make this unit well suited to control room applications, secure equipment storage, and emergency generator housing on industrial and government-adjacent sites.
Secure and Fireproof Storage
Store files, vehicles, boats, power tools, and furniture safely. The Cor-Ten steel body offers strong protection against theft, fire risk, and weather, and the lockbox adds another layer of security.
Portable Offices and Conversions
The DuoCon unit converts well into a guard shack, site office, or portable battery station. Explore our modified containers for fit-out options to suit your conversion needs.
Seasonal and Overflow Storage
Businesses use the 10ft unit to manage excess stock during busy periods. It’s simple to place on-site and remove when no longer needed, with no need for a permanent structure.
