Case Study of the Month

19th July, 2024

CS98771 - 30ft ModiBox®+ 40ft store

We can convert anything from a single container to a project requiring several components using multiple containers. The job featured here involved five different containers, a viewing platform with staircase and two new ramps. That's a big conversion project, and we were honoured to have been chosen to undertake it by the RAF Cosford Kart Club in the Midlands, especially as we remember the heroic role that the RAF played in the Battle of Britain in July 1940, 84 years ago this month, when Britian stood alone against the might of the German Reich.
