20ft Ground Level Office Container – Secure Onsite Workspace

A ground level office container solves the thing that makes site sheds unpopular: the stairs. It sits directly on the ground, so anyone can walk straight in carrying drawings, a laptop or a smoko tray, and there is no ramp to hire or handrail to certify. This 20ft unit is built from a weather-resistant steel shipping container and delivered as a finished workspace — insulated, lined, wired and glazed — rather than as a box you then have to fit out.

It is used as a site office, a supervisor’s room, a security post and a crib room, and it can be picked up and moved to the next job when this one finishes.

Specifications

Power and the licensed electrician

The unit comes pre-wired with outlets, lighting and a breaker panel, but the final connection to 240 V mains must be completed on site by a licensed Australian electrician. Budget for that and for the lead required to your site supply or generator — it is the step most often forgotten when planning a delivery date.

Where these get used

• Construction and civil site offices
• Mobile command posts and security gatehouses
• Remote and rural project management bases
• Temporary administration space during a building fit-out
• Event and real estate sales offices

Moving it and stacking it

Forklift pockets and ISO corner castings mean the office can be lifted by forklift or crane and stacked on multi-container sites. Ground it on level bearers so the door and windows stay square.
