CLADDED CATERING CONTAINER
Our client; a Welshpool based business which provides a mobile ice cream operation at outdoor events throughout the country, contacted us regarding a secure catering unit. The unit was required to serve ice cream, tea, coffee and snacks from.
Due to the space on site, we cut down a 20ft quality used A grade container to create a 17ft x 8ft x 8ft 6” unit. A serving hatch was created by cutting a 10ft wide aperture in one of the 17ft sides and installing a motorised, galvanised roller shutter. We created a frame on top of the rail above the shutter, which could be operated by way of gas strut hydraulics. This was in place to fold the sign down, therefore protecting it when in transit.
A standard insulated weatherproof personnel door with full door furniture was installed, with a 10 point locking system and 5 pin anti-drill Euro profile cylinder. For extra security we also supplied and fitted a digital code locking system. The container walls and roof were lined with 9mm ply over 50mm insulation, over a timber stud frame. Two recessed box sections with C Form 32amp socket connections were fitted. Two apertures were created for the installation of a 45 degree louvred vent to prevent water ingress. To fit in with the surrounding environment and to satisfy regulations set by their local council, cladding was required externally. Loglap tongue and groove panels were applied to the container, the corrugated steel pitched roof, guttering and pipe housing. The exposed steel areas were painted with self-priming specialised container paint and the roller shutter was powder coated black.
