Machinery Enclosure Container and Its Uses

A machinery enclosure container is a specially designed structure that houses and protects machinery and equipment from environmental factors such as noise, temperature, and humidity. 

These containers create a controlled environment for the optimal performance and longevity of the machinery while also ensuring the safety and well-being of the people working around it.

Typical Applications

Machinery enclosure containers serve as a temporary or permanent solution for any business that requires secure on-site storage for expensive or delicate equipment.

• Construction sites: storing heavy equipment.
• Manufacturing facilities: secure space for sensitive machinery.
• Agricultural operations: to house tools and machines.
• Offshore platforms: for protecting equipment from corrosive marine environments.

Benefits

• Durability: Made from high-grade steel, they're built to last.
• Security: With lockable doors, they keep your assets protected from theft.
• Weatherproofing: They are resistant to rain, wind, and sun, keeping the contents dry and intact.
• Customization: The containers can be modified according to your needs, whether you need extra doors, insulation, or shelving.
• Safety: They also enhance safety on-site by reducing the risk of accidents related to equipment exposure.

Machinery Enclosure Container Rental & Sale Cost Compared

One of the most crucial factors affecting the price of a container is its condition - new, used, or refurbished.

New "One Trip" Containers

These are brand-new containers that have made a single trip, usually from the manufacturer to us. They're pristine, and while they're the most expensive option upfront, they come with a ten-year warranty.

Used Cargo Worthy Containers

They've been used for shipping for years but are still more than capable of keeping your machinery secure. While they may not be the most good-looking option, they are budget-friendly and still come with a five-year warranty.

Refurbished Cargo Worthy Containers

If you're eyeing a middle ground between new and used, our refurbished containers are the perfect fit. They've been touched up to address any cosmetic issues and are made fully functional for machinery storage. Plus, they are more affordable than new ones.

Container Fabrication Options

You might need a container with extra ventilation for machinery that runs hot, or perhaps you're looking for enhanced security features to protect high-value equipment. That's where our fabrication options come into play. Our team at Conexwest can outfit your container with:

1. Security Bars: We can add an extra layer of safety by installing high-security lock boxes and steel security bars on containers to ensure your equipment is well-protected.
2. Vents: Providing proper ventilation is crucial for maintaining the internal environment of the container. We have a variety of venting options such as exhaust fans to improve airflow and reduce moisture buildup.
3. Lighting: For improved visibility and functionality, we can integrate lighting systems into containers. This may include LED lighting, emergency lighting, or motion-activated lights.
4. Electrical Package: Depending on your requirements, we can equip machinery enclosure containers with a comprehensive electrical package. This may include power outlets, circuit breakers, wiring, and other electrical components necessary for powering equipment or providing a workspace.
5. HVAC: For applications that require precise temperature and humidity control, we can integrate HVAC systems into containers. This may involve installing air conditioning units, heaters, or dehumidifiers to maintain optimal environmental conditions.

Should You Rent or Buy Machinery Enclosure Containers?

If your project is short-term or you're testing the waters with a new venture, renting a machinery enclosure container is often the best choice. It gives you the flexibility to adapt without the commitment of a purchase. Plus, you won't need to worry about long-term maintenance or storage once the job is done.

Buying a container is a significant investment, but it will pay off. If you're looking at long-term usage, the cost per day decreases the longer you have the container for. This can be a savvy move for businesses with ongoing storage needs. Remember, a purchased container can also be sold if your needs change, potentially recouping some of your initial outlay.
