Shipping Container Tool Vault

Losing the tools you rely on to earn a living is a major concern for tradespeople, and the need to keep them locked away under the most secure conditions led us to design and construct a unique product at Containers Direct - the Hercules 667 tool vault. Recent claims analysis has put the cost of tool theft to UK tradespeople at hundreds of millions of pounds a year, so purpose built secure storage can quickly become the most cost effective "insurance" you buy. The Hercules is built as a compact, high security vault for serious kit - designed to protect hand tools, power tools, batteries, lasers and specialist equipment that cannot afford to "walk" when left on site. It is engineered for exceptional strength and security, providing a highly effective deterrent to forced entry. At a glance:
  • Purpose built, heavy duty steel construction (including the floor)
  • Reinforced design intended to resist prising and attack
  • Triple locking approach for layered protection
  • Optional fit-out available for organised storage

Typical uses for a secure tool vault

The Hercules 667 is designed for situations where tools are most exposed - when they are left unattended overnight, stored on live job sites, or kept in vehicles and temporary storage areas that thieves actively target.

  • Building sites and refurb projects: secure overnight storage for high value tools and equipment, helping reduce delays caused by theft.
  • Tradespeople and small contractors: a dedicated lockable vault so your kit is not your "weakest link" between jobs.
  • Yards, depots and workshops: a hardened storage point for batteries, cutters, lasers, fixings and specialist tools.
  • Vehicle risk reduction: tool theft is frequently linked to vehicles, so moving tools out of vans when practical can materially reduce exposure.

Construction of the Hercules tool vault 667

The Hercules 667 measures 6ft x 6ft x 7ft. The entire unit is constructed from heavy duty steel, including the floor. The panels we use are 3mm thick, which is almost twice the thickness of steel used for shipping containers!

In more detail:
  • 3mm steel plate fully welded onto 100mm x 50mm box section frame


  • Additional strengthening box section welded every 2ft on the elevations


  • 3mm steel floor welded to 100mm x 50mm box section bearers
