Overview
The SkyShield™ 40ft Series is the most widely adopted container canopy solution, used by contractors, logistics operators, and blue-chip companies across multiple sectors. Designed to mount onto either shipping containers or precast concrete blocks, this series delivers flexible, heavy-duty shelter for compounds, storage, and machinery.
Available in widths of 20ft, 26ft, 33ft, and 40ft, with single and double truss options, the 40ft Series scales from compact welfare cover to large, high-strength spans capable of withstanding demanding conditions. These structures are frequently chosen by large highway contractors and Tier-1 infrastructure companies to provide fast, compliant cover in operational yards.
Key Features of the 20ft Series SkySheild™
Multiple Widths & Truss Options
The SkyShield™ 40ft Series comes in 20ft, 26ft, 33ft, and 40ft widths, each available in single or double truss designs. Single truss models are ideal for everyday storage, while double truss systems provide increased wind and snow resistance, making them suitable for exposed sites and long-term Tier-1 projects.
Flexible Installation
These canopies can be mounted onto either 20ft / 40ft shipping containers or 1.5-tonne precast concrete blocks. This dual installation option ensures the right solution for each sector:
• Aggregates & Waste Management → typically mounted on blocks for dust suppression zones and waste bays.
• Logistics & Construction → most often mounted on containers to create secure, elevated compounds.
Engineered for Heavy-Duty Use
Built from EN 1090-certified galvanised steel and clad with 900gsm fire-retardant PVC, the 40ft Series offers compliance and durability demanded by blue-chip procurement teams and highway contractors.
Scalable Lengths
The 40ft Series is modular in 20ft increments, allowing spans of 40ft, 60ft, 80ft, and 120ft. This makes it suitable for both compact yards and enterprise-scale compounds.
Trusted Across Sectors

FAQs
Are SkyShield™ 40ft canopies available in double truss?
Yes — double truss models offer superior wind and snow load resistance, making them suitable for exposed environments and long-term projects.
Can I mount these canopies on concrete blocks instead of containers?
