This 4m x 4.2m side-linked flat pack container bundle consists of two 4m galvanised steel flat pack storage units and one side-by-side linking kit, assembled with the two units joined along their long sides to create a wide, almost-square combined storage footprint of 3.88m × 4.37m external. This is a fundamentally different configuration from our 8m end-linked bundle and 6m end-linked bundle — rather than extending length for long-item storage, the side-linked layout maximises usable floor area and internal width, creating an open-plan storage space with a 4.07m internal width suited to wider equipment, multiple storage categories side-by-side, or bulk storage that benefits from broad access rather than depth.

Each unit retains its own door in the combined structure, providing two separate access points. Doors can be configured at the same end for a unified access front, or at opposite ends to allow through-access or independent entry into each half of the structure — a practical option for organisations that need to partition storage by user group or equipment type without a physical dividing wall. The combined structure can be further expanded by adding additional units and linking kits — contact JK Shipping LLC to discuss larger configurations.

The bare galvanised steel finish provides corrosion resistance through the zinc coating without a painted topcoat — suited to locations where appearance is secondary to function and longevity. Assembly requires a team of 4 to 6 people with no crane or forklift needed, making this bundle suitable for remote grounds, sports club outfields, rail sidings, and community sites where machinery access is unavailable. The heaviest individual component is 153 kg. The flat-packed bundle stacks to 600mm height, transportable on a flatbed trailer or in a large van.

Note: units in this system can only be joined in one direction — side-by-side or end-on-end — within the same structure, not in both directions simultaneously.
