Container Manufacturing
Heavy-Duty Corten Steel Containers
18ft specialized units for local utility and fully ISO/CSC-compliant 20ft containers for intermodal logistics — built to withstand weather, theft, and heavy use.
Sri Andavar Engineering Works manufactures rugged storage and shipping containers from our Tiruchengode facility. Using weather-resistant Corten steel, marine-grade flooring, and reinforced double-lock door systems, our containers are engineered for long service life in demanding Indian climate and transport conditions.
Whether you need compact 18ft units for on-site storage at construction projects, agricultural holdings, or workshops — or standard 20ft ISO containers for domestic and export logistics — we deliver quality fabrication with transparent pricing and reliable lead times.

Standard Features
Weather-Resistant Corten Steel
Self-healing oxide layer resists corrosion — ideal for monsoon exposure and outdoor storage year-round.
Marine-Grade Flooring
Heavy-duty plywood or steel floor rated for forklift and pallet jack loading.
Double-Lock Door System
Reinforced lock rods and tamper-resistant hardware on all cargo doors.
Custom Paint & Branding
Company logos, color schemes, and identification markings applied during fabrication.
Security Note
All SAEW containers ship with reinforced double-lock cargo doors and lock rod systems. For high-value storage applications, we recommend additional padlock hasps, cross-bar locks, or container lock boxes — available as optional add-ons during order.
Containers should be placed on level, well-drained ground. For long-term outdoor storage, periodic inspection of door seals, lock rods, and floor integrity is recommended — especially after monsoon season.
We do not recommend storing hazardous materials unless the container is specifically modified and certified for that purpose. Contact us to discuss specialized container requirements.
