Workshop Container FAQs

What is a Shutdown Container?

A shutdown container contains the parts, tools and consumables required for a maintenance shutdown of large machinery such as a crusher, conveyor system or heavy haul truck. The shutdown container can be stocked with the necessary parts and tools ahead of schedule at a central depot (usually in a capital city and then delivered to site by truck). Once on site, the shutdown containers act as a central hub for the job. They come with an administration area with a dispersing hatch, meaning that the company can monitor and track parts and tool allocation preventing damage and wastage.

What Size Workshop Containers Are Available?

Tradesales offers workshop containers ranging in size from 10, 20 and 40-foot spaces (available as single or double containers).

Can Tradesales Design Construction Site Storage Containers to Our Company Specifications?

Yes – the Tradesales team has standard designs that can be customised as per your needs to provide a bespoke solution that is practical, efficient, and delivers what you need.
