Shipping Containers for Building Sites

Builders Stores, Plant Stores, Tool Stores, Machinery Stores

A shipping container is an ideal secure storage unit for any builder, building site or construction industry operation. With remote sites that might be prone to the wrong attention at night time along with expensive and vitally important tools and machinery left on site overnight, construction companies are turning more and more to shipping containers to site their kit.

Cheap, quick to deliver, comparatively easy to move and very secure. A shipping container ticks all the boxes for most operations and it can easily sit at a site for the duration of one project before moving directly onto the next job. All our original 20ft shipping containers come with fork pockets as well as lifting eyes on all corners. This means it is well within the scope of the average building site to use the plant and machinery to move your shipping container around as required. 20150806_135844

Great for the storage of smaller plant and equipment, from cement mixers up to diggers, but they can also be used as a secure tool shed, workshop and we have seen them converted into welding and sand blasting bays.

With one of our high security lock boxes and branded padlocks supplied, it will take some form of heavy cutting gear to break into a locked up shipping container, well out of the scope for your average ‘chancer’. With more organised criminals in mind – a large proportion of plant and machinery thefts being stolen for the export market, plenty of these will be stolen to order. If the would be thieves don’t know what equipment you have (as its locked up inside an anonymous shipping container), you’re one step ahead already!

Add to this a wide variety of additional security measures that can be added, from simple measures like parking another truck or vehicle in front of the container doors, to mains or battery powered alarm systems that can be fitted to any shipping container. We’ve also seen very inventive builders leave a pile of bricks or gravel in front of a set of container doors overnight, knowing that they will move these out of the way the following morning.

Shipping containers for building sites are proving extremely popular of late. With tumbling steel and commodity prices feeding through into the shipping container market, shipping containers haven’t been this cheap for over a decade and we are seeing a growing popularity for shipping containers being used as builders stores across the UK.

We can also convert and modify shipping containers to provide very cost effective, secure and mobile site offices, welfare and kitchen facilities, drying rooms and more, and we can offer 2 tear office and welfare units with staircases.
