What can be built from shipping containers? Practically anything can be built out of ISO shipping containers. At DropBox Inc we have built portable running water restrooms, shower facilities, decontamination showers, modular laundry facilities, modular offices and many many others. Shipping containers are a sturdy building block with a large number of uses. ISO shipping Containers are being used around the world to manufacture temporary living facilities, low cost housing, hotels, and art museums. 

How long does it take to get my modification once I've ordered one?  Most units manufactured by DropBox Inc. can be delivered within 4-6 weeks from the date we recieve a purchase order. Some larger products can take longer depending on the floor plan/size of the build, but more often than not your shipping container modification can be on site in no more than 6 weeks.

What size do ISO shipping containers come in? Standard ISO shipping containers are 8 feet wide, 8 and a half feet tall, and either 40 feet or 20 feet long. 45 foot and 53 foot Shipping containers can also be found in limited supplies. For those needing more head room "high cube" shipping containers can also be purchased. They come in the standard 20 and 40 foot lengths but are 9 and half feet tall as opposed to 8 and a half feet.
