A workshop container on site
In many workplaces, a permanent workspace is not a given. However, you often need a place to do your work properly and safely. A workshop container is a practical and reliable solution. It is sturdy, quick to deploy, and can be set up according to your needs.
Workshop containers are used daily in sectors such as construction, industry, and petrochemicals. In this blog, Fabian, senior sales manager, explains more about the applications of workshop containers, why you should choose a workshop container, and what you should pay attention to when you have ordered a workshop container.
A solution for a wide range of tasks
The 20ft workshop container is the most popular size. It is large enough for a workbench, lighting, power points, and storage, yet compact enough to be easily moved. In practice, the container is used as a mobile workplace, storage space, and maintenance unit. Every sector is different, and so are the requirements for a workshop container. With Hacon Container Modifications, we offer the option of having your workshop container fully customized. This gives you a container that fully meets your wishes and requirements. Depending on your project, you can choose to rent or buy a workshop container. For shorter periods, renting a container is the most practical option, while buying is attractive for long-term and recurring use.
The workshop containers are used in various locations, from construction and infrastructure sites to factories and from production sites to refineries. Carpenters and mechanics use them as temporary workspaces on construction sites, while in industry, maintenance containers are often used on outdoor sites. “The applications are very diverse. We supply construction and infrastructure projects, factories, but also customers in the petrochemical industry,” says Fabian.
Compact workshop containers for any space
In addition to the popular 20ft workshop container, more compact containers are also available. The 10ft workshop container is ideal when you need a little less space but still want a fully-fledged workspace. Thanks to its compact size, this container is easy to place and move with a crane or forklift. An additional advantage is that this container is suitable for sea freight, making it usable worldwide.
Is space really limited? Then the 8ft workshop container is a smart choice. This smallest version is surprisingly functional and comes with a workbench, shelving, storage cabinet, and optional electrical hookup. Perfect as a maintenance unit, extra storage space, or mobile workspace in tight situations.
Regardless of the size you choose, every Hacon workshop container comes with functional basic amenities and can be expanded as desired. This ensures that your workplace always meets your practical needs.
Why choose a workshop container?
Whatever your situation, customers usually choose a workshop container for three reasons: speed, safety, and flexibility. The container can be delivered quickly and used immediately, provided it is in stock. It is lockable, weatherproof, and can be fully customized to suit the work you do.
In addition, a workshop container is much cheaper than building a permanent workspace. It is certainly more financially attractive for temporary projects. Depending on the projects and your needs, you can rent or buy a container.
Some customers only need a workbench and some power. Others ask for heating, ventilation, or even plumbing. Every setup is different, and that is precisely the strength of this type of container. Fabian explains: “We always tailor the contents to the needs of the project. Sometimes it's purely storage, sometimes a fully-fledged workplace.”
What about delivery time and preparation?
Is the container still in stock? Then we can usually deliver within a few days. Does it still need to be fitted with power and lighting? Then we can deliver in consultation with you, so that it is completely ready for use.
The delivery itself requires some preparation. This includes ensuring there is sufficient space for the truck and arranging any necessary permits. It is also important that the contact person is present at the location to ensure that everything runs smoothly. “We always coordinate the schedule and delivery location carefully. This ensures that the delivery goes smoothly and we can avoid delays,” says Fabian.
