So, a converted container makes an ideal workshop or laboratory. Invest in an all-in-one shipping container workshop. Designed by you. Delivered to your site.

Customise your shipping container workshop

A container workshop is bespoke. Whether you need a 40ft unit for a team, or an 8ft garage just for you. When you design your container workshop, you can save time and money too.

What’s more, Pentalver will work with you to equip your new space. Think built-in workstations, storage and even the kitchen sink. Here are some customisation options:

  • Anti-vandal windows, double-glazing and anti-slip flooring – to keep you safe and secure.
  • Work benches, shelving and tool racks – to make you efficient and declutter messy areas.
  • Partitions to create smaller rooms, quality lighting and showers – to help you focus, stay alert and feel fresh.

Not to mention, your shipping container workshop will arrive ready-to-go from day one. So, you don’t have to waste time sourcing equipment and much-needed storage space.

Secure space with a shipping container laboratory

Shipping container laboratories are ideal if you need to move from A to B. Plus, our team can modify your space for bunded chemical storage. You can relax. Your hazardous waste is risk-free from harming people and nearby wildlife.

Plus, cleaning is easy. From floor to ceiling, your new space can be fitted with wipe-clean walls and vinyl flooring comes as standard. Your bespoke unit can also come air-tight or well-ventilated.

Consider a shipping container laboratory for a safe, economical solution.

FAQs

A container exposed to sunlight and cold can suffer from condensation, especially if the interior, or the contents of the interior, are damp. Condensation can usually be prevented by the use of disposable dehumidifiers or the more efficient anti-condensation technique of spraying the ceiling with Grafo. Please speak to our sales staff about applying a coating of Grafo to your container before delivery.

Shipping containers are designed to be fully waterproof, including the doors which are fitted with full wrap around seals. International Standards Organisation (ISO) containers are designed to last many years and withstand overseas crossings with laden cargo.

The structure of the container is designed to be supported by four corners with a full load should you require it. The land base could be grass or soil but it must be firm throughout the duration of the container placement. Also the ground should be level helping the container to remain stable. The doors may become difficult to open or indeed worse if the end frame of the container moves out of square.

When padlocked through the available holes in the door gear, they are secure but can be made more secure by the fitting of a lock box, which protects the lock from interference (and the elements).
