Looking for a Modified Shipping Container? We Have Something Better: The MOCON Solution.

If you’ve been searching for a modified shipping container, you’re likely looking for a versatile, secure, and durable space for storage, an office, or a specialized site unit. Traditional shipping containers have long been the go-to choice, but they come with significant baggage: they are incredibly heavy, difficult to transport to remote areas, and often require expensive cranes for placement.

At MOCON, we’ve engineered a “next-generation” alternative that takes everything you love about a modified shipping container and strips away the logistical nightmares.

Why MOCON Beats a Traditional Modified Shipping Container

While a standard modified shipping container is rigid and cumbersome, the MOCON modular unit is designed for the modern South African landscape. Here is why savvy project managers and homeowners are making the switch:

  • Flat-Pack Portability: Unlike a modified shipping container that requires a flatbed truck and a crane, MOCON units arrive flat-packed. This means we can deliver to tight spaces, backyards, or remote sites where a heavy truck simply can’t go.

  • Rapid Assembly: Forget the cutting and welding usually required to get a modified shipping container site-ready. Our units are precision-engineered for easy on-site assembly using high-strength stainless steel fasteners.

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Our containers are constructed from AZ150 Aluzinc®. This high-grade coated steel provides significantly better longevity and rust resistance than the standard CORTEN steel found in most shipping containers, ensuring a lifespan of 40–50 years.

  • Built-In Mobility: Even after assembly, MOCON units remain incredibly mobile. They feature bottom forklift tracks and top lifting hooks, allowing you to move them around your site even when loaded with up to 1,500kg of gear.


Versatility Without the Hassle

People choose a modified shipping container because they want a “plug-and-play” room. MOCON delivers that same utility—whether you need a garden shed, a secure tool lock-up, or a remote site office—but with a much smaller carbon footprint and significantly lower transport costs.

The MOCON Advantage: Our units feature premium Birch ply flooring and secure, high-quality hardware as standard, giving you a professional finish that looks better in a commercial or domestic setting than a weathered industrial box.
