🧰 Integrated Workshop Equipment – Built for Utility, Engineered for Organization
This 20ft Open Side Tool Container goes far beyond simple storage — it’s a purpose-built, fully outfitted mobile workspace designed to meet the real-world demands of industrial professionals, mechanics, and field engineers.
Every inch of the container’s interior has been optimized for efficiency, safety, and accessibility, offering a layout that accommodates both solitary operators and team-based environments. From fabrication to equipment maintenance, it functions like a compact workshop on wheels.
Here’s what’s installed and why it matters:
Sturdy and spacious, these workbenches provide a generous surface area for hands-on projects. Whether you're disassembling machinery, assembling parts, or handling precision tools, the benches are long enough to accommodate a variety of tasks — all while allowing multiple team members to work simultaneously.
- Heavy-duty surface
- Positioned at ergonomic height
- Designed for intensive, repeated use
Each cabinet is built to keep essential tools and instruments secure, clean, and well-organized. With lockable doors and compartmentalized drawers, these cabinets reduce tool misplacement, promote workflow efficiency, and limit unauthorized access.
- Ideal for expensive or specialized equipment
- Keeps tools protected during transport
- Compatible with magnetic labeling or color-coded systems
Not every job is all tools and parts — there’s also paperwork, permits, manuals, and safety compliance documents. These industrial-grade filing cabinets provide a designated space for organizing critical documents, maintenance logs, or project blueprints in a way that keeps them accessible and protected from dust, dirt, and moisture.
- Helps maintain site compliance and documentation
- Prevents document loss in rugged environments
When your work involves storing lubricants, solvents, adhesives, or other hazardous substances, proper segregation is a must. This vented chemistry cabinet is isolated from the rest of the workspace, ensuring safe containment of volatile or flammable materials while minimizing contamination risk.

- Equipped with containment shelves and ventilation ports
- Reduces cross-contamination of equipment and workspace
Located at the rear of the container, custom-welded steel frames have been installed to support mobile tool carts, vice mounts, or rack systems. These frames allow you to wheel equipment in and out, or affix modular tool systems as needed for job-specific applications.
- Increases mobility within the container
- Allows quick reconfiguration for new tasks
- Reinforces the rear wall for heavy-duty use
A 28mm marine-grade wooden panel has been installed above the rear workbench. It acts both as a protective backing and as a strong mounting surface for hooks, shelves, or tool boards, letting you build out a vertical storage solution tailored to your needs.
- Supports hanging tool rails, lighting, or shelving
- Shock-absorbent and drill-friendly
- Adds structural integrity to rear wall systems
This is the centerpiece of the workspace. Fabricated from durable steel strips, this workbench offers a load-bearing, vibration-resistant platform that’s built to take punishment. It’s also designed for tool cart compatibility, meaning you can roll carts underneath and lock them into place when not in use.
- Rust-resistant build for long-term durability
- Slotted strip design allows custom mounts and vice installation
- Excellent for welding, grinding, or electrical work
Together, these components transform the container into a turnkey workshop environment, reducing the need for on-site construction or external utility hookups. It’s an all-in-one field solution for companies who can’t afford downtime — or who need their tools ready wherever the next job calls.
🔒 Security Features & Add-Ons
When your mobile workshop becomes the heart of your operation, security is non-negotiable. This 20ft Open Side Tool Container is thoughtfully upgraded to offer not just convenience and accessibility but a serious security package — giving you peace of mind whether you’re operating in a busy industrial park or a remote job site.
Here’s what sets it apart:
Built for high-value asset protection, the container comes with a discreet, tamper-resistant jewelry safe integrated into the interior workspace.
- Fire-resistant casing protects documents, valuables, and sensitive tools from extreme temperatures.
- Concealed installation ensures the safe remains hidden from plain sight, reducing the risk of targeted theft.
- Heavy-duty anchoring makes removal nearly impossible without professional equipment.
Perfect for safeguarding:
- Expensive tools and precision instruments
- Site-specific blueprints or confidential documents
- Personal valuables in remote work locations
With this feature, your workshop doubles as a secure vault when you're not on-site.
Security starts with strong access control, and the container’s locking bar system delivers exactly that.
- High-tensile steel locking rods reinforce all access doors (front, rear, and side openings).
- Integrated padlock housing deters bolt cutters and tampering.
- Tamper-evident design helps quickly identify any attempted breach.
This upgraded locking setup ensures that your investment remains protected 24/7, whether parked at a major construction project or a temporary deployment site.
Accessibility shouldn’t come at the cost of security or convenience. This container is fitted with a hinged aluminum ramp that:
- Folds flush against the container wall when not in use, preventing unauthorized use or entry.
- Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant aluminum construction supports wheeled tool carts, trolleys, and even small machinery.
- Slip-resistant surface texture ensures safe loading and unloading in all weather conditions.
Designed for quick setup and breakdown, the ramp streamlines daily operations without compromising the container’s protective shell.
In a world where job site thefts are unfortunately common, equipping your mobile workshop with built-in security layers isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. With these enhanced features, you’re not just buying a storage unit; you’re investing in:
- Safer job sites
- Lower insurance risks
- Reduced downtime from theft or loss
- Long-term asset protection
🔌 Electrical Features – Plug, Play & Power On
When it comes to creating a mobile workshop that operates like a true industrial facility, electrical readiness is non-negotiable. This 20ft Open Side Tool Container has been outfitted with a full electrical infrastructure, allowing immediate activation upon delivery — no aftermarket retrofitting or additional contractors required.
Here’s what’s included to ensure a seamless, professional-grade setup:
At the heart of the container’s system is a 5-pole 380V industrial power connector, designed to interface directly with standard heavy-duty job site power sources. This configuration provides a stable, high-voltage connection capable of supporting demanding tools, lighting, and environmental controls simultaneously.
- Heavy-load capability for power-hungry equipment

- Ready for immediate deployment to construction sites, energy fields, remote workshops, and more
📍 Delivery & Deployment
At 24/7 Container Inc., we understand that a container is only as good as its delivery. That’s why our 20ft Open Side Tool Container is not only ready for dispatch nationwide — it’s backed by a logistics team that ensures smooth, stress-free placement, whether you’re installing a permanent yard workshop or deploying mobile units across rotating field sites.
Our container delivery process is engineered for efficiency and transparency from quote to offload. We coordinate every step, keeping your operational timeline and site constraints in mind.
🚚 Delivery Methods Available
The container is gently tilted and slid off the truck, placing it directly onto your prepared surface without the need for extra equipment. Best suited for open, flat job sites or permanent installs.
For locations where access is tight — such as fenced enclosures, urban job sites, or yards with overhead obstacles — we offer crane-lift delivery. This method allows precise placement where tilt-bed access isn’t feasible.
If you have your own heavy-lifting equipment (like a forklift or crane), we can arrange flatbed delivery. This method is often used for clients who prefer greater control over exact placement timing or need to coordinate with existing site operations.
📦 Note: Regardless of method, we confirm delivery date, depot origin, and driver contact in advance — ensuring there are no surprises on delivery day.
- Weather Impact: Wet or frozen ground may delay delivery or complicate offloading
- Permits: Some residential or municipal zones may require temporary access or placement permits
- Slope & Drainage: While minor slopes are acceptable, large inclines may require site prep or leveling blocks
- Final Placement: Let us know if you’ll be anchoring the camper, raising it on footings, or connecting utilities on-site — this may affect positioning advice
Our team will work with you pre-delivery to confirm:
- Site photos or videos for risk assessment
- Preferred placement orientation (e.g., door side facing east)
- Offloading options available in your region
- Timing windows for equipment and crew coordination
Every 20ft Custom Camper order includes personalized delivery planning to ensure your unit is placed securely and safely — the first time.
📌 Site Readiness Checklist
To ensure a safe, successful delivery and avoid unexpected costs or delays, we recommend preparing your site according to the following essential guidelines:
Ensure there is a clear path at least 10–12 feet wide to accommodate the truck and container. Wider access may be needed for turning in tighter areas, especially if a crane is involved.
Delivery sites should be level, compact, and firm — such as gravel, asphalt, or concrete. While tilt-bed trucks can handle slight unevenness, unstable ground like loose sand or mud may cause placement issues or require reinforcement.
Check for no overhead obstructions along the delivery path and above the placement site — including power lines, tree branches, building overhangs, or signs.
For crane deliveries, ensure at least 20 feet vertical clearance to allow for safe lifting and placement.
Since this unit features a full-length side opening with a hinged aluminum ramp, reserve clear, unobstructed space adjacent to the container. This allows the ramp to deploy fully, ensuring easy, safe loading/unloading access once the container is operational.
🛠️ Tip: Think beyond just delivery — plan for daily operational use. Make sure there’s enough room for personnel, equipment movement, and ventilation around the container once it’s in place.
🚩 Common Delivery Challenges (And How We Help)
- Tight urban sites
- Rural locations with unpaved surfaces
- Sloped or uneven terrain
- Weather-impacted access (muddy or waterlogged grounds)
Our experienced delivery team can assess your location in advance. If your site has special requirements or restrictions, we’ll suggest solutions — including crane lifting, site mats, or alternative offloading methods — ensuring your container arrives and is installed without disruption.

📣 Customer Testimonials
We shaved hours off our weekly setup time.
Before we switched to the 20ft open side container, our crews wasted at least 45 minutes a day digging through front-loaded storage units. Now, with full side access, everything is visible and reachable — it’s been a complete game-changer for our workflow.

Finally, a tool container that works with us, not against us.
We run multiple job sites, and every time we moved locations, we had to reorganize our tools in traditional containers. With this open-side build, we keep a consistent setup — doors swing wide, racks stay bolted in, and loading is a breeze. It’s professional, tough, and honestly a lifesaver.
— Marlene K., Regional Project Manager, Dallas, TX
Built like a vault but moves like a trailer.
I was skeptical at first, but this thing is built solid. We’ve had two snowstorms, heavy rain, and not a drop inside. Doors still glide open, locks stay tight, and my tools are dry, clean, and right where I left them.
