Heavy-Duty Container Door Leverage Tool

Heavy-Duty Shipping Container Jack Lug

Shipping Container Locks Heavy Duty

A container's doors are heavy with tight seals for a reason—they're built to be secure and weatherproof. That's a great thing, but it can make them tough to budge, whether the hinges need a little grease or you just need some extra leverage. This bar is the great equalizer. It gives anyone, regardless of their size or strength, the proper mechanical advantage to get the door moving safely and without a fight. It’s not about fixing a problem with the container; it’s simply about working smarter, not harder.

A wobbly container is a problem waiting to happen. If your ground isn't perfectly flat—and around here, it rarely is—you need one of these. It's a simple, tough piece of steel that turns a dangerous job into a controlled task. You can't safely get a jack under a container corner without a proper lug, and this one is built to handle the weight. It's a must-have for getting your setup right from day one

Your container is basically a steel vault, so don't secure it with a flimsy padlock that can be snipped off in ten seconds. This is the right way to do it. The heavy steel bar locks the vertical door rods together, so they can't just be pried apart. A thief would have to make a lot of noise and waste a lot of time to even try to beat it. This is real security, not just a suggestion.

Mytee Products 8" ISO Container Caster Wheels (4-Pack)

Shipping Container Wheel 6-Lug Kit, 6x5.5 Lug,

Shipping Container Tow Bar Kit Fits 20' & 40' Containers

Moving a 5,000-pound steel box is no joke. These are the casters I'd trust for the job. The twist-lock mechanism is solid, the polyurethane wheels are tough but won't tear up your slab, and the brakes actually work. It’s a simple, rugged setup that lets you put your container exactly where you need it. This is how you make a heavy box agile.

Caster wheels are great for a smooth, flat workshop floor, but most of us are dealing with gravel, dirt, or pasture. When you need to pull a container across that kind of real-world terrain, this is the kit you want. It's a tough, simple setup that puts a real axle and wheels on one end of the box, letting you hook up and move it with a tractor or work truck. It's the right tool for repositioning your container on a large property or a rugged job site."

"This is the final piece of the puzzle for moving a container yourself. You put the axle wheels on the back, and this tow bar hooks the front to your tractor or work truck. It’s a heavy-duty tool with one simple, non-negotiable rule: keep it slow. As long as you are moving slowly and carefully, you can maneuver your container over most terrain on your property. This is not a tool for anyone in a hurry. Take your time, plan your route, and it will do the job safely."

Container Door Lock Parts

Butyl Tape Waterproof Sealing Tape Aluminum Foil Tape

Spray Foam Insulation Kit for Walls and Attic

The big vertical bar on your container door rarely fails, but the small moving parts—the handle, the cams, the keepers—can take a real beating over the years. When a handle gets loose or a lock won't engage properly, your container isn't secure. This kit has all those common replacement parts to get your door locking tight like it should. It's a straightforward repair that makes a huge difference. Don't live with a sloppy door; fix it right.

Listen, these containers are built to last for decades in the harshest environments, but after a long, long time, even the toughest steel can get a tiny pinhole. Don't mess around with silicone that will crack and peel in the Texas sun. This butyl tape is the right way to patch it. The rubber is incredibly sticky and seals the hole for good, and the aluminum backing protects it from the elements. Clean the spot, cut a patch, press it on, and you're done. Keep a roll of this in your toolbox; it's a simple fix that prevents a big headache many years down the road.

There are two big enemies of a shipping container: the Texas sun, and 'container rain'—that's the condensation that forms on the inside walls and ceiling when the temperature changes. This spray foam kit is the single best way to beat both. It sticks directly to the steel, creating a seamless barrier that stops heat from getting in and prevents that damaging sweat from ever forming. This is a complete kit to do the job right. It’s a game-changer for turning a container into a usable workshop or truly protected storage space.

4 Pack Shipping Container Air Vent Kit

Solar-Powered Exhaust Fan for Shipping Containers

Large LED Solar-Powered Street Lamp with Shipping Container Corner Casting Mount

Your container is built to be a sealed, secure vault, which is exactly what you want. But just like any room, a little fresh air goes a long way to keep the inside from feeling stuffy. This kit is like opening a window for your container. It creates a gentle, constant airflow that protects your gear for the long haul. By installing two vents low on one end and two high on the other, you get a natural breeze that ensures the environment inside is as solid as the steel on the outside

The air at the ceiling of your container on a July afternoon is brutal. The single best thing you can do to fight the heat, short of full insulation, is to get that hot air moving out. This solar fan is purpose-built for the job. It fits the container's roof ribs perfectly, and it runs for free whenever the sun is beating down. The best part is the thermostat—it kicks on when it gets hot and shuts off when it cools down, so you just set it and forget it. It's an easy, off-grid way to make a huge difference in the Texas heat.

Your container is out in a field with no power nearby? No problem. This is how you light up the whole area. This big solar lamp is incredibly bright and mounts right into the corner casting—a perfect, secure fit with no drilling needed. The motion sensor makes it a fantastic security light for keeping critters and trespassers away from your stuff. It’s a powerful, off-grid solution that uses the container itself as the light pole.

Shipping Container Shelving Bracket, 1 Tier

4 Pack Shipping Container Anchors

Think of this as the specialist. Unlike the full-stack systems, this is for building out one heavy-duty shelf at a time. This is what you want for a single, solid workbench that runs the length of a wall, or that one high shelf for stacking heavy totes out of the way. Because they're individual, you can put them at any height you want, anywhere you've got a lashing point.

They're strong—the simple triangle design is tough as nails, so you don't have to think twice about loading them up. Just remember, you're buying them in pairs to build one shelf. If you need a whole library of shelves stacked close together, a multi-tier unit is more efficient. But for a custom-placed, beast of a single shelf? This is the ticket."

These anchors are the right way to do it. They're designed to slide and lock directly into the side openings of your container's corner castings, which are the strongest parts of the whole structure. This gives you a solid steel flange that you can bolt directly to a concrete foundation or footer. No welding, no wrapping chains, just a clean, secure connection.

Now, listen up, because this is important: these are only as strong as what you bolt them to. You need a proper concrete base. And you'll have to get your own heavy-duty concrete anchor bolts from the hardware store—don't cheap out on them.
