40′ Dry High Cube Switch Room

Description

Our Container Switch Rooms

The expert team at Container Refrigeration are capable of transforming 40’ High Cube Containers into easily transportable switch rooms. The interior of the switch room is modified with insulated 50mm Fire Rated Panels with uni-strut installed between the panels to assist with the mounting of electrical components and the original floor has been removed and replaced with fibre cement.
Other modifications include custom paint and the installation of floor penetrations for the hardwiring of switch room components. As well as Personal Doors with Internal Push Bars to meet current safety standards.

Modularity

Our switch room containers can be ordered in a variety of sizes and layouts. The modular nature of the containers ensures they can be developed to best suit the users needs while also allowing changes and modifications to be made at a later date if needed. Common modifications include lighting, air conditioning, door modifications, floor penetrations and the addition of extra ventilation systems and air vents to enhance air circulation. In addition to this, the design of our switch rooms makes them easy to move and transport while still allowing them to be quick and easy to install.

Safety and Security

The security of a switchroom container is paramount! But thanks to the modular nature of our shipping container modifications there are many security options available for our customers. The designs of our container switch rooms allow the inclusion or easy installation of alarm systems and fire safety systems to protect your important assets. You can also increase your security by installing a steel-housed lockbox that will prevent your padlock from being cut or tampered with.
