Shipping Container

Are You Converted Shipping Containers Code-Compliant in My City?

All our shipping containers are delivered in accordance with the specific building, health, and fire safety codes and regulations, and our clients have obtained local permits. It's worth noting that projects showcased on our website may not meet the requirements of your local authorities, as regulations vary by region. Therefore, it is recommended to reach out to local health and building departments in advance to seek their guidance on meeting requirements.

For all our models, modifications are allowed to make them code-compliant. If needed, we can also construct a custom-built unit from scratch to meet your specifications.

Are Shipping Containers Hot Inside?

Our containers are insulated with a 40mm thick cotton layer to ensure optimal comfort and energy efficiency in outdoor locations. For extreme weather conditions, cooling or heating systems can be offered to achieve 100% climate control for your container.

Are Your Containers Secure?

Yes. At ZZKNOWN, each container is constructed with quality corrugated steel for a high level of strength and durability and is equipped with windows and doors that come complete with locks. This design minimizes the possibility of unauthorized access.

Additional security features such as cameras, alarm systems, fencing, smart locks, and lighting can be added to your container for enhanced protection and property management.

I Have a Layout, Can You Manufacture It?

If you have a specific floor plan for a commercial kitchen, bar, office, workshop, or something, we are interested and more than willing to turn it into reality. Please email us your drawings and designs, and our designers will collaborate with you to explore possibilities and offer a custom solution.

Can I Use My Own Appliances?

Yes, you can. During the design phase, you'll need to share your list of appliances so that we can plan the container layout accordingly and ensure that the outlets meet the electrical requirements of your equipment. When it comes to larger items such as workbenches, refrigerators, and furniture, please provide our designers with detailed specifications. This will enable us to allocate the required installation space effectively.

I Don't Need the Equipment of Your Standard Models. Can I Change It?

Certainly. All the equipment and appliances included in our containers on the website can be swapped out or removed according to your preferences.

In addition, we provide an extensive selection of commercial-grade kitchen equipment, cooking appliances, furniture, workshop tools, industrial food processing machines, and more for you to add to your shipping container unit. Whatever you need, we can source it for you at the most competitive prices.

Can Your Container Be Used in a Location with No Access to Water or Power?

Yes. Our shipping containers are designed to be self-contained units that can get water and power without connecting to the utilities or buildings.

For water, two 25L water tanks, for clean water and wastewater respectively, come as standard. The water system incorporates a pump to ensure a pressurized water supply. If a nearby water source is unavailable, we recommend upgrading to larger tanks. We offer options ranging from 80L to 130L and beyond.

For power, our containers can be connected to a generator. Also, you have the flexibility to opt for propane or natural gas to power your gas appliances.

Are the Items in the Container Portable or Fixed?

That really depends on your needs. Most workbenches, under-bench fridges, wall cabinets, shelves, sinks, ventilation systems, and the like are secured in the container and can't be moved. Equipment such as deep fryers, griddles, and grills are fixed to the countertop but can be detached. If necessary, we can provide portable appliances and equipment.

Are Your Containers Pre-assembled?

Basically, our containers come pre-assembled before delivery. They're akin to plug-and-play units, and it is easy to connect them to existing buildings and utilities.

Can I Choose the Color of My Container?

Yes. You can pick any RAL color for your container. If you request cladding, we offer choices like wood and vinyl cladding.

What Kinds of Shipping Containers Do You Sell for Conversions or Modifications?

ZZKNOWN Shipping Containers: These are the shipping containers that we manufacture with standard kits. They offer the same durability and quality as standard models but come with enhanced flexibility – they can be converted into virtually anything you envision. Manufactured in our factory, these containers can be designed and built to your specifications, and you can engage in the entire process online. If your concept is innovative or you require a fully custom-built unit, they should be your first choice.

ISO Shipping Containers: These containers designed to meet ISO standards are primarily utilized for transporting goods globally through sea or land shipments. To ensure the safety of goods during transit, they are often built to withstand prolonged stacking and various climatic conditions. Due to their exceptional strength and durability, these structures are highly suitable for conversion into storage units, including container workshops, refrigerated containers, and portable concession stands. However, the limitation lies in their dimensions which are hard to customize. The most common size options are 20ft and 40ft.

Regardless of your choice for your build, we guarantee that the containers we provide are brand new and have never been used. No second-hand containers at ZZKNOWN.

What Container Size Do You Offer?

Our shipping containers range from 9 feet (2.8m) to 39 feet (11.8m). We also provide standard container sizes such as 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft. If you have specific dimension requirements, we can build a customized container for you.
