Container Frames - Steel Building Frames for Modular Construction

Our container frames are engineered steel frames used in a wide range of modular building projects, including container-based structures, transportable buildings, site offices and custom modular solutions. They provide a strong, reliable structural framework where speed of construction, repeatability and durability are critical.

Often referred to as shipping container frames or container building frames, these systems are designed to support modular construction methods while allowing flexibility in layout, cladding and internal fit-out. They can be used as standalone structural frames or integrated into larger modular building designs.

Suitable for commercial and industrial applications, our container frames offer a practical building frame solution for projects requiring robust steel framing that supports modular construction.

Container Frames for Modular Building Projects

Container frames are a type of steel building frame commonly used in modular construction projects where consistency, strength and efficiency are required. While they are well suited to container-based builds, they are equally effective across a wide range of modular building applications.

In modular construction, container frames provide a stable structural framework that supports repeatable designs and off-site fabrication. This makes them ideal for projects such as site offices, accommodation units, workshops, control rooms and other modular buildings where speed of installation and structural reliability are important.

As shipping container frames, they are designed to accommodate standard container dimensions and loading requirements. However, their use is not limited to containers alone. Container building frames can be incorporated into larger modular structures or combined with other steel framing elements to suit specific project requirements.

Compared to traditional building frames, container frame systems offer practical advantages for modular projects, including simplified installation, consistent manufacturing tolerances and suitability for scalable or relocatable buildings. They allow designers and builders to maintain flexibility while working within a robust steel framing system.

For modular building projects that require a dependable steel building frame solution, container frames provide a proven option that supports efficient construction without compromising structural performance.

Frequently Asked Questions – Shipping Container Frames

What is a Container Frame?

A: Container Frames (Steel Frame Kits) is our modular range of steel container frames designed for fast, affordable, and flexible construction. Each unit comes as a flat pack packaged crate, ready to assemble on-site with no welding required.

What sizes are available in the Container Frame range?

A: Our Container Frames are based on a standard 6m x 3m steel frame footprint. These modular units can be easily connected side-by-side or end-to-end to create larger flat pack portable buildings.

Each frame is available with multiple roof options to suit different applications and aesthetics:

• Flat Roof– clean and compact for low-height requirements
• Skillion Roof– modern sloped design for improved water runoff
• Pitched Roof (A-Frame)– traditional style with extra overhead space

Do the Frame Flat Pack Kits come with tools included?

A: Only the Flat Pack Portable Building (R2 Complete Flat Pack) comes with a complete Toolbox kit.

Can I connect multiple frames together?

A: Absolutely. Our modular container frame kits are designed to be easily joined side-by-side or end-to-end, allowing you to build larger structures for commercial or residential use.

Are the container frames easy to assemble?

A: Yes! Our Frames use a bolt-together steel frame system. No welding or specialist tools are required. Most units can be assembled in a few hours with basic equipment.

Do you offer wholesale pricing?

A: Yes. Our partner SCS Global is a wholesale supplier of container frames and portable buildings. Bulk pricing is available for builders, developers, and resellers.
