    Switchroom with External Air Conditioning | 20ft High Cube Shipping Container

    A switchroom is a shipping container built to protect a site’s electrical gear from heat, dust and weather. On this one both split system air conditioners are mounted on external brackets along the side wall and the Personnel Access Doors were kept slim, which leaves as much internal wall free as possible for components. Insulation through the walls and ceiling helps the air conditioning hold a steadier temperature.

    • Two split system air conditioners on external side brackets
    • Two slim Personnel Access Doors on one side wall, each with a vision panel

  • Project #452

    Storage Hub, Workshop and Office | 2 x 40ft High Cube Shipping Containers

    Container Traders joined two 40ft High Cube Shipping Containers into one storage hub, workshop and office. Removing the connecting side walls and fabricating the two together gives a far more spacious interior than a single shipping container, along with a loading bay at one end for equipment.

  • Project #144

    Simple PA Door modified Container

    Container Traders fitted a Personnel Access Door to the side of a 20ft General Purpose Shipping Container and resprayed it dark green. A Personnel Access Door changes how the space gets used day to day, because you walk straight in without swinging the cargo doors, and the cargo end stays clear for forklift loading.

    Key specs

    • Personnel Access Door to one side
    • Dark green exterior respray
    • Four 100mm x 100mm galvanised angle brackets

    • Personnel Access Door in the side wall
    • Both openings lockable
    • Painted dark grey

    Office and Bathroom Fitout

    Container Traders converted a 20ft High Cube Shipping Container into a self contained office with its own bathroom. High Cube height matters here, because lining and insulating the walls and ceiling costs headroom and the extra height gives it back. External water, waste and power connections mean it runs as a portable office or granny flat from day one.

    Key specs

    • Sage green respray with security screens throughout
    • Sliding glass door with locking security screen
    • Sliding windows with security screens to the opposite side
    • Full insulation to walls, ceiling and floor
