Office containers are practical workspaces that can be set up quickly on construction sites, factory yards, car parks, ports and logistics areas. Many look alike, but material and workmanship determine their lifespan.
1. Choose the right size
The most common units are about 6 m long and 2.4 m wide; several can be joined for larger offices.
2. Check the chassis
Profile thickness, weld quality and paint system determine lifespan; corner fittings must suit lifting and stacking.
3. Panels and insulation
Choose thicker, better-insulated panels for cold or very hot regions.
4. Electrical installation
Cables sized for computers, air conditioning and heaters, with breakers and a residual current device.
5. Windows and doors
Double-glazed PVC windows insulate well; grilles and steel doors add security.
6. Flooring
A moisture-resistant base board with a hard-wearing covering.
7. Climate control
Plan air conditioning, ventilation and heating to prevent condensation.
8. Transport and after-sales support
Clarify transport, crane needs, site preparation and warranty.
