Custom Shipping Containers

Built for Manufacturability

At Falcon Structures, we design and build custom shipping containers that can be manufactured reliably, delivered predictably, and supported by clear operational intent.

Our approach to shipping container customization is grounded in proven design systems and execution discipline. Rather than open-ended design-build, Falcon customizes container-based structures within defined parameters that support efficient production and dependable outcomes.

Most Falcon projects rely on standardized elements and established modification options because they keep production flowing and timelines intact. However, some customer needs fall outside our standard offerings. When the opportunity is right, we take on more advanced customization through what we call special container projects.

Our Approach

Falcon's standard floor plans and modification options address the majority of customer requirements, allowing us to deliver consistent quality, cost control, and repeatability. 

If a project has requirements that extend beyond our standard process, we'll explore the opportunity as a special container project. These may involve new layouts or multi-container configurations, but they are always assessed based on how efficiently they can be designed, built, and delivered within Falcon’s factory environment.

All custom shipping container modifications are reviewed early for manufacturability, execution discipline, and alignment with Falcon’s production capabilities. This ensures each solution can be delivered with clarity and confidence.

Step 1: Define the Scope & Intent

Every custom shipping container project starts with a clear understanding of purpose, requirements, and constraints. Falcon works with customers to align on how the structure will be used and deployed, ensuring the scope supports efficient design and execution.

Step 2: Determine the Right Design Approach

With scope defined, Falcon identifies the most effective design path. This may include adapting existing container modification elements, developing a new configuration, or combining multiple containers. Decisions are guided by manufacturability and efficient execution.

Step 3: Determine the Build Approach

Some projects benefit from a prototype, while others move directly into production based on defined requirements. Falcon evaluates each customized shipping container project and recommends the approach that best supports efficient execution.

Step 4: Finalize for Manufacturing

Once the design path is confirmed, Falcon finalizes drawings, specifications, and production plans. Whether the project is a one-time build or a foundation for future deployments, the design is locked to support efficient manufacturing and predictable outcomes.

Step 5: Build & Deploy

All custom and special projects are built in Falcon’s factory environment and delivered according to a defined schedule. Each modified shipping container receives the same focus on quality, safety, and reliability as Falcon’s standard offerings.

Is a Customized Shipping Container the Right Fit?

Falcon’s facilities, production layout, and processes are designed to support efficient execution. Not every idea or approach fits within those constraints.

As part of early conversations, we work with customers to determine whether a project is a good fit. In some cases, we may recommend a different solution or pass on a project if it does not align with our design and manufacturing capabilities.

If you are looking for a traditional design-build partner or a highly bespoke concept developed without production constraints in mind, Falcon is probably not the right fit. Our focus is on custom shipping containers that can be designed, built, and delivered with confidence.

FAQ: Custom Container Projects

What does "custom shipping container" mean at Falcon

Customization at Falcon means modifying shipping containers within proven, manufacturable parameters. We do not offer open-ended design-build services.

Can Falcon customize conex containers?

Yes. Falcon modifies conex containers and ISO shipping containers for industrial and commercial use, evaluating each project for fit within our production environment.

How are modified shipping containers different from standard containers?

Modified shipping containers are adapted to support occupancy, equipment housing, or operational requirements while maintaining structural integrity and factory efficiency.
