Flat-pack containers

Ships flat. Builds fast.

Four units on the truck where one used to fit: up to 75% saved on freight.

A flat-pack is a steel-framed unit that ships collapsed and goes up quickly on site. Ideal for remote areas and affordable accommodation. We've built everything from classrooms to multi-span doctors' rooms. For sale or hire.

The freight maths

One truck. Four units.

A built container on a truck is mostly empty air. Collapse the unit into a panel kit and the same load space carries four. That's the whole saving quoted at the top of this page, and it matters most when the site is remote or hard to reach.

Quick answers

Flat-packs, in brief.

What is a flatpack container?

A flatpack is a container that ships collapsed and packed flat, so far more units fit on a single truck, and it goes up quickly once it reaches you. It's a practical, affordable way to get solid accommodation onto a site without trucking fully built containers around.

What can I use a flatpack for?

All sorts. They're ideal for remote areas and affordable accommodation, and we've built everything from classrooms to multi-span doctors' rooms. If you've got a use in mind, give us a call and we'll point you the right way.

When is a flatpack the right choice?

When you need robust, affordable accommodation on a remote or hard-to-reach site without a big transport bill. Flat-packs ship collapsed, install quickly and need very little upkeep once they're up.

Can I buy or hire a flatpack?

Both. You can buy outright or hire at competitive rates, whichever suits the job. Not sure which makes more sense? Call us on +27 11 794 6571 and we'll help you work it out.
