Custom Tunnel Container Built for Fuel Cell Storage

Chippenham

Container Case Study

What Problem Did the Client Face?

A returning client, an established engineering company, required a tunnel container to safely store fuel cell equipment. The equipment generated heat and required efficient airflow system, so the storage unit needed high and low ventilation.The client also needed: 

• Two separate spaces within one container. 

• Easy access from both ends. 

• Gas-tight partitioning to isolate areas safely. 

• Quick build and delivery to meet project timelines. 

This was the client’s second project with Lion Containers, following a successful previous collaboration.

• Added seven vents, positioned high and low, to ensure consistent air circulation and meet ventilation standards for fuel cell storage. 

  Access & Safety Features

• Fitted standard lock boxes for security. 

• Integrated recessed power inlet and transit plate for easy electrical connection and equipment setup. 

  Finish & Build Time 

• Painted in RAL 7047, offering a sleek and professional finish.
