Complete Protection Against the Elements

Protecting your worksite tools and equipment from various environmental conditions is of paramount importance. Cold or hot temperatures can cause severe damage to your equipment, but not as much as moisture.

What if your equipment and tools come in contact with water from heavy rain or a flood? What if you have electrical equipment on your worksite? Water can cause an electrical fire, as it is a natural conductor of electricity.

Any harsh weather can wreak havoc on your temporary workshop, causing permanent damage to all your tools and equipment.

All of this is why it is vital to protect your equipment and tools from the elements. Shipping containers can provide the best possible protection, but you need to make sure you find the right containers for your needs.

You should find durable and robust shipping containers that can stand the test of time. You need to ensure that they are completely watertight so that they don’t ever let any water in.

It is also crucial that they have corrosion-resistant steel bodies to prevent rust and any other damage from oxidation.

Last but not least, you should find properly ventilated containers that can effectively keep moisture away and fight condensation. Fortunately, you can easily find containers with proper insulation, ventilation, dehumidifiers, and air conditioning.

Heavy-Duty Lock Box as Theft Protection

The tools, equipment, and various other work supplies that people use on construction or mining sites are often desirable targets for thieves. Those tools and different types of equipment are usually costly, compelling criminals to look for ways to steal them.

You certainly can’t afford to have someone break into your worksite and steal all that valuable stuff from your temporary workshop. You would need to spend a lot of money to purchase the necessities again, and you would deal with downtime that disrupts your entire work project. This means higher costs, worker dissatisfaction, and a massive dent in your bottom line.

You may have insurance, but it wouldn’t cover all your financial losses. Your uninsured costs may be higher than the amount your particular insurance covers.

Thieves are especially active during the holidays, on weekends, and during nighttime, when construction workers are not on their job site. So, how can you protect your valuables when you’re not around? The answer lies in shipping containers.

If you find a sturdy container with a steel body, it would be impossible for someone to try and break it. However, locking it may not be enough to stop thieves from trying to open it.

So, don’t make yourself an easy target. Get a container that is fitted with a heavy-duty lock-box that is completely tamper-proof. With that kind of protection, all of your valuables will always remain safe and secure.

Protection from Vermin

Many storage facilities focus on providing excellent protection against theft, vandalism, and weather elements, but completely overlook the possible threat of vermin.

What if rodents or insects get into your storage unit? Even if you try and protect all your tools and equipment with plastic wraps or bags, that wouldn’t be enough in case of rodent infestation. Rodents would eat through the plastic.

And it’s not only equipment damage that you should worry about, but also contamination. Rats carry dangerous diseases, so you don’t want them contaminating your workshop.

This is yet another reason why shipping containers are excellent solutions for securing worksites and workshops for tools and equipment.

With a high-quality container on your job site, you won’t have to lose sleep over vermin getting into your storage unit, causing damage to all its valuable contents, and bringing in any disease.

Shelves, Ramps, and Other Modifications for Organization and Maximum Convenience

Keeping your tools and equipment well-organised is essential for worksite efficiency and effectiveness.

With shipping containers, you can easily store and organise everything, from safety hats, gloves, and glasses to all your hand tools, power tools, and various pieces of larger equipment.

This is because you can add shelves, ramps, pipe racks, and a lot of other modifications to organise your temporary workshop. You can add them anytime you need, without causing downtime or any kind of a mess.

These modifications are adjustable, removable, and very easy to install. You can make sure they are heavy-duty as well so that they securely hold all your tools.
