Max vs Max+ — what's the difference? Both share the same 240 cm external width across all three lengths. The Max stands 219 cm high externally (202 cm internal); the Max+ is taller at 240 cm externally (222 cm internal) — an extra 20 cm of headroom throughout.
Why Width Matters More Than You Might Think
Most flat pack containers on the market are built to a standard 2.0m to 2.2m external width — a legacy of container shipping dimensions. That constraint has long frustrated users who need to store items wider than a standard pallet, fit a ride-on mower, park a quad bike, or accommodate shelving racked across the full internal width.
At 2.40m external (2.22–2.23m internal), the Max and Max+ close that gap substantially. To put it practically:
A compact tractor or telehandler attachment fits where it simply wouldn't before
Full-height shelving can run the length of the container without compromising the access aisle
Self-storage operators can configure units that work for furniture removals, van loads, and bulky items
The extra width isn't just a number. It's the difference between a container that stores things and a container that actually works.
Who Is the Max Range Designed For?
The Max and Max+ were built with demanding users in mind. Here's how each customer type benefits:
Construction and Trade
Site storage is a constant headache — equipment goes missing, materials get weather-damaged, and standard containers never quite fit the kit you need to keep locked away. The Max range accommodates wider plant, tooling, and materials without the need for two smaller containers side by side. The 1,500 kg crane and forklift rating means repositioning on site is straightforward.
Farming and Agriculture
Seasonal equipment — sprayers, seeding attachments, irrigation equipment — rarely fits neatly into standard-width storage. The Max+ in particular, with its 2.22m internal height, gives clearance for tall equipment that would otherwise need to be disassembled. It assembles without a concrete base and can be crane-lifted to wherever on the farm it's needed most.
Self-Storage Operators
Wider bays let you serve customers with larger items — furniture, van loads, catering equipment, business archive boxes. The Max range allows you to offer a genuinely premium storage product without building permanent infrastructure. Flat pack delivery keeps transport and logistics straightforward.
Resellers
The Max and Max+ offer a clear product differentiation story to your own customers: the widest flat pack containers available, from a manufacturer with 60 years of European production history. Both models arrive flat and stack efficiently, making inventory management and delivery logistics simpler than alternatives.
Homeowners and Lifestyle Use
Garden storage, hobby workshops, home gyms — the additional width of the Max range transforms what's possible in a container. A 3m Max+ with internal dimensions of 2.22m height gives enough headroom to stand comfortably and enough floor width to fit a workbench plus storage racking alongside it.
Built on 60 Years of Manufacturing Heritage
The Max and Max+ don't just represent a new product line. They mark a milestone.
Kovobel has been manufacturing flat pack storage containers since 1966. That's six decades of refining the engineering, testing in real-world conditions, and listening to what customers actually need from their storage. Every detail of the Max range — the 25mm OSB flooring rated to 500 kg/m², the trapezoidal galvanised steel cladding, the stainless steel hinges and door hardware, the crane and forklift compatibility — reflects that accumulated experience.
The Max and Max+ launched on 18 June 2026, the 60th anniversary of Kovobel's founding. It felt like the right way to mark the occasion: not with a retrospective, but with something genuinely new.
