Not every operation runs on standard sizes — and when off-the-shelf containers don’t quite cut it, that’s where APR steps in. We’ve been in this business for decades, and one thing’s always been true: real efficiency often calls for a custom solution.
Making Containers Work for You
The other day, we were working on a project for a customer who needed bulk containers at a particular height — something you can’t order from a catalog. The solution? We used two containers, cut them down to size, and then welded them back together to match their needed height.
It’s a hands-on process we’ve refined over years of working with containers of all shapes and sizes. And here’s the thing: these modified containers hold up just as well as the originals. We’ve put them through testing to be sure of that. They’re structurally sound, reliable, and built to last — just like the rest of the work we stand behind.
Why Cut & Weld?
Our cut and weld service isn’t just about changing dimensions — it’s about building containers that work for your workflow. Maybe you need shorter containers to fit under low-clearance racking, or you want a container that’s easier to access from the ground. Whatever the reason, we can get it done.
We don’t believe in forcing one-size-fits-all solutions into systems that need something more thoughtful. That’s why we approach every project with a clear understanding of what the container needs to do—then we get to work building it right.
Built by People Who Know Containers
Every container we cut and weld is handled by skilled technicians who understand both the material and the job it needs to perform. It’s not just about making something that looks good — it needs to hold up in real-world use. We reinforce the joints, clean up the welds, and ensure the structure is solid before leaving our shop.
I don’t know about “sometimes longer”… maybe just “Modified containers are long-lasting and made to fit your parts exactly.”
A Smarter Alternative
There’s also a practical reason to go this route: cost. Repurposing containers you already have or buying refurbished ones that can be modified often saves money over buying new ones. Plus, you’re extending the life of materials that might otherwise go to waste — which is better for your budget and the environment.
