Electrical Installations in Shipping Containers
Containers Direct offer a range of electrical installations to all our storage containers supplied.
Supplying power to your container is a lot easier than you may think. We install to our clients' own layout, and we supply a CAD for approval prior to commencing work asking you to confirm where you would like to position your electrics. All wiring is surface mounted in plastic conduit. If you have purchased a ply lined container, we fit directly onto the ply. If the container is unlined, in order to avoid drilling directly into the container walls (no one wants a leaky container!), we weld additional steel strips to the inside of the container to mount the electrical fittings. To provide this, there would be an additional surcharge added to the electrical installation price depending on container length. Please ask your sales representative for prices. Prices will also vary if you upgrade to an extra wide container.

Electrical Certification
If you require your electrics to be certified, please let us know before placing your order. As all certificates expire once the container leaves the depot, we do not issue electrical certificates as standard within the rates above. If you require the electrics to be certified before the container leaves our depot, we are able to provide a certificate for an additional fee. However, as this will be invalid once the unit reaches your site, we recommend you engage a local electrician to re-certify the unit for your records. Please speak to your Sales representative if you have any queries, and we would be happy to help!

"The container is in situ and it is as new, just perfect. Your driver was amazing and made sure everything was spot on before he left. A company opposite us has four on site and ours makes them look very secondhand indeed. Thanks again. We have already had so really good comments and without doubt, if asked, we will give them your details."Alligator Dynamic Drapes
