Limitless Possibilities
When it comes to container modifications, you’re only limited by your imagination. From simple add‑ons like doors, windows and insulation, through to fully engineered builds for hospitality, accommodation, utilities and events, Tiger Containers NZ can design, fabricate and fit out a solution that’s safe, compliant and built to last.
Flat Rack Containers
Flat racks are ideal for oversized plant, machinery and irregular freight. With heavy‑duty end walls and an open deck, they excel where standard boxes don’t. We supply standard and collapsible end-wall variants, with lashing points and custom tie‑down options for safe transport and storage.
Side Opening Containers
Side openers provide full‑length access for rapid loading, bulky items and retail displays. Choose single or bi‑fold side doors with upgraded security hardware, canopy options and lighting.
High Cube Containers
High cubes add approximately 300mm of extra internal height—handy for racking, tall equipment, mezzanine floors and fit‑outs. We can line, insulate and wire high cubes for offices, studios and storage.
Insulated Containers
Insulated units regulate internal temperatures without active refrigeration—ideal for temperate storage, equipment protection and comfort in office builds.
Open Top Containers
Open tops allow crane or hiab loading of tall or awkward cargo from above. Choose removable soft tops or hard tops with custom tarps and spill protection.

We convert containers into fully compliant cafés and kiosks with serving hatches, plumbing, certified electrical fit‑outs and food‑grade finishes.

USES OF OUR SHIPPING CONTAINERS
One popular application is creating on-site office spaces out of modified shipping containers. These portable site offices often use either 20ft or 40ft containers because they provide good security along with flexibility. Additionally, these same units serve as safe places to keep valuable gear or equipment while not being used.
Another common use is storage – whether it’s for personal or business reasons. The tight seal and watertight environment keeps everything stored away safely within these steel boxes, so much so that they can even be locked up securely too!
If you’re in the retail industry looking for a temporary storefront solution that won’t break your bank or leave you tied down to one location, then why not consider using converted storage container shops? Pop-up stores made from modified shipping containers are available in various sizes including 10ft, 20ft and 40ft variants which offer both portability and durability.
A shipping container granny flat could be just what you need if low-cost, transportable housing is what you have in mind. Granny flats made from shipping containers also make great sheds; likewise they can function as man caves providing secure weatherproof space for recreation or storage purposes too!
Portable toilet facilities can be installed outside for events or construction sites using altered storage containers. Such containers provide transportability and stability in design thereby ensuring availability of toilets where required.

Frac tanks provide high‑volume storage for fluids in mining, oil and gas and construction sectors.
