Technical Specifications and Security

Our containers are built to withstand harsh environments and deter theft. Understanding the construction helps you choose the right unit for your security needs.

Corten Steel Construction

We use containers manufactured from Corten steel (weathering steel). This material exhibits high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. If the paint is damaged, the steel forms a protective oxide layer that prevents rust from penetrating the metal, ensuring a long lifespan.

Security Features

Security is paramount for on-site storage. Our containers feature:

• Lockboxes: A steel housing welded to the cargo doors that prevents access to the padlock shank, protecting against tampering.
• Marine Plywood Flooring: A robust, 28mm thick floor capable of supporting forklifts and heavy payloads.
• Heavy-Duty Doors: Full-width cargo doors with cam-locking gear ensure a tight weather seal and secure closure.

Delivery to Sutton

We deliver using HIAB crane-equipped vehicles. These trucks can lift the container from the vehicle bed and place it alongside the truck. Successful delivery requires careful preparation of your site.

Access Requirements

The delivery truck needs sufficient width and height to access your location. A standard HIAB vehicle requires approximately 10ft (3m) of width for access and substantial overhead clearance, free from cables or tree branches. The truck must deploy the stabiliser legs to safely lift the container.

Ground Conditions

Containers must sit on a hard, level surface. Suitable surfaces include concrete, paved areas, or railway sleepers. We cannot place containers on soft ground, grass, or soil, as the unit may sink, causing the doors to rack (twist) and become difficult to open.
