Shipping containers converted for use a DJ stands and for housing sound and lighting desks are a popular option – especially for outdoor event sites. All our container conversions are built to order giving you a lot of freedom with the specification and design.
Commonly we fit these for outdoor events with electric roller shutters as shown in the example pictures, but we can also fit vertical opening hatches on gas struts, or horizontal opening hatches on hinges, or for indoor sites we can leave the hatch wide open.
We will commonly line and insulate the units, overlay a vinyl floor and add a custom electrical and lighting setup to meet your needs. We mount the external electrical hook-up almost anywhere on the outside of the container allowing you to minimise cable runs on site.
Externally we typically add a high security steel door for easy access, and offer a custom colour premium repaint to fit your event or sites branding. We can also offer various finishes including custom vinyl wrapping and wood cladding options.
When required we can also leave the original container doors operable if you want the capacity to load in large items, or: As has been the case at festival sites – use the shipping container for storage in the off season.
We usually convert new containers for this use which offer a smart neat finish and offer a near everlasting lifespan. We can also make these from used shipping containers if you want a ‘rustic’ or ‘industrial’ look. (Rough and dented in plain terms!)
These can be placed on the ground or stacked on top of another container. The hatch openings can also be custom sized.
We can also do whatever work you want. we can do everything giving you a turn key solution, or you can specify the container to be part finished allowing you to complete some of the work yourself. We are also happy to just supply the basic container and let you do all the work.
For delivery we need to be able to get a large truck into site and up next to where the container will sit. For outdoor event sites please be aware that deliveries over grass or any potentially soft ground is risky and we want to be extra sure we can deliver a container for you before we custom convert a shipping container. For indoor sites our trucks need a huge overhead clearance and we commonly can’t lift off inside even if its a large warehouse. Deliveries are nearly always possible but this may require additional machinery or considerations to get this where you need it.
To date, 20ft shipping containers are the most common size DJ booth or AV booth we have supplied, but 10ft and 40ft options are also straightforward, and we are regularly cutting a container down to a custom size for various projects.
Prices can vary significantly depending on the specification of the conversion you need. If you are interested in something like this we would suggest contacting us as it may be best to discuss your project and the access before we offer formal quotes.
