30' × 40' × 10' Double-Truss Shipping-Container Shelter

Product Overview

Create approximately 1,200 square feet of covered space between two parallel shipping containers with this double-truss dome shelter. Its 30-foot span and 40-foot length provide room for vehicles, agricultural machinery, construction materials, commercial inventory, and sheltered work areas.

A hot-dip galvanized-steel frame mounts along the inner edges of compatible containers using twist-lock and clamp connections. The open-span design leaves the entire ground-level interior available for equipment and materials, while a pipe-and-ratchet system secures your selected PE or PVC covering across the frame.

Shipping containers and front or rear wall panels are not included. Optional end panels are available separately.

Specifications

Available Cover Options

The selected fabric determines the shelter’s cover weight, durability, warranty, and final configuration.

Warranty

• PE cover: 2-year warranty
• PVC cover: 8-year warranty

Warranty coverage is subject to the manufacturer’s mounting, installation, tensioning, maintenance, and weather-use requirements.

Required Container Configuration

This shelter is designed for installation along the inner edges of two parallel shipping containers. The containers must be level, properly supported, structurally suitable, and spaced according to the installation manual.

Mounting the shelter along the outer container edges requires additional support tubing and a compatible outside-mount installation configuration.

The listed 10-foot height is measured above the container mounting level. Total ground-to-peak height will depend on the height and placement of the supporting containers.

Verify container foundations, alignment, corner-casting condition, drainage, and mounting compatibility before installation. Damaged or structurally modified containers should be professionally evaluated before use.

Cover and Weather Maintenance

Maintain uniform cover tension to prevent loose areas where rain or snow could collect. Inspect and retighten the pipe-and-ratchet system after installation and periodically as temperatures change.

Remove accumulated snow promptly and do not allow it to remain on the shelter. Monitor weather forecasts and follow the manufacturer’s extreme-wind procedures, including removing the cover before hurricane conditions when it can be done safely.

Keep open flames, heaters, welding operations, and other heat sources away from the tarpaulin. Inspect the cover, trusses, clamps, twist locks, ratchets, and container mounting points regularly.
