What are the BOS Containers made of?
Material is 20 gauge, 0.8mm galvanized steel. Material on floor section is 14 gauge, 2mm thick.
Steel is made of recycled material. The floors are made of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) and treated for moisture and insects.
Can the units be stacked on top of each other?
Yes. Flat packed units can be stacked seven high for transportation, and 10 high for storing.
Assembled, full units can be stacked three units high outdoor, and four units high indoor. The load inside the units must be evenly distributed.
Do the containers rust?
Our containers have no welding. Instead the connection points are made with BTM clinching. BTM clinching technique ensures that galvanized surface on the steel does not get damaged. This warrants for a 10 year rust free guarantee on connection points.
Can the containers be carried into job sites or other areas that vehicles cannot access?
Yes. Detachable panels can be carried to job sites even through awkward or difficult spaces. They can be assembled on site, even in tight spaces.
Can the detachable panels be replaced?
Yes. The detachable panels can be replaced if damaged.
