Double door containers – The one in, one out policy
Using: Secure Site Store – 20ft x 8ft High Cube – Double Door These are a relatively new assimilation into our hire fleet. They have all of the advantages of a normal High Cube 20 foot, but benefit from doors both ends. This means whichever way round the unit is dropped on site, there will…
Need to keep roadside plant secure? – Pump up the volume!
Using: Secure Site Store – 20ft x 8ft x 9ft 6in High Cube One of our longest standing clients used to suffer very badly with plant being stolen or maliciously interfered with from their invariably roadside job sites. But for many years now they have used 20 foot high cube containers to keep the 3…
Standing tall?
Using: Secure Site Store – 10ft x 8ft x 9ft 6in High Cube Sometimes a little more height is needed. That’s why we have some high cube versions of the standard 10ft x 8ft. Being more than foot taller inside, with their elevated roofs, they will hold higher items such as a 2.7 tonne mini…
Universal roadside storage
Using: Secure Site Store – 10ft x 8ft We have more of these handy storage units on the hire fleet than just about anything else. A perennial favourite with roadside crews such as gas, water and civil, they can be moved and re-sited with a half decent HIAB, even when they’ve been loaded up with…
Enough is enough
Using: Secure Site Store – 8ft x 8ft Sometimes, enough is enough. For instance if you have a piece of machinery that you need to keep secured that’s just less than 8 feet long, why would you clutter things up with a storage unit that’s any bigger than absolutely necessary? Because almost inevitably, you’ll either…
Just enough room to squeeze one in?
Using: Secure Site Store – 8ft x 6ft A lot of job sites, particularly ones in urban environs, suffer with the twin curses of little spare space and lots of crime and vandalism. Our 8ft x 6ft stores can provide the answer, with a good bit of storage space in a compact package. Being only…
No room at the Inn? – A tale of 2 trades.
Using: Secure Site Store – 8ft x 5ft Pub refits are very often a high pressure activity, because every day or night they’re not open for refreshment, the precious clientele can slip away, with the risk they may never return. This can put considerable strain on the project. Add that a case where there is…
Cornish groundworks – A delivery too far?!
Using: Ground Mat Minis Very often, people need our help with products like Ground Mat that either need too few or are too far away for us to be able to offer a cost effective collection or delivery function using our own fleet. We had looked at 1 or 2 day pallet-freight type deliveries, but…
Mum’s and push chairs – An access challenge
Using: Walkovers Tough time constraints and ever more restrictive budgets rule out some of the traditional temporary works options. Like when a local sports centre embarked on some minor external alterations to make way for a new ‘soft-play’ area inside. As you might imagine, the local parents were fully supportive of the scheme as a…
Support of a scaffolding section – Parliament Square, Westminster
Using: Out size and odd sized plates The Palace of Westminster is a fine old building but certainly requires a fair bit of upkeep. It’s importance, size and position in one of the busiest parts of the nation’s capital, not to mention sensitive security issues, presents those charged with its care with some very particular…
