Site Storage Containers

HERMEQ site storage containers keep tools, equipment and materials locked and organized on construction sites, in equipment yards and at facilities. The Tuffbank jobsite tool box is a reinforced steel chest with high-security deadlocks, made in several sizes, and the Tuffbank van tool box secures gear inside the vehicle. For flammables and chemicals, the range covers hazardous substance storage boxes, lockable steel chests and flat-pack walk-in stores, with spill containment for drums. Galvanized cages for gas cylinders, wire mesh pallet cages, steel fitting bins and crane-lift goods cages handle the materials that do not belong in a tool box.

Site storage containers, job boxes and storage cages

The right store follows from what goes in it and how it will be moved, because tools, hazardous substances, gas cylinders, loose fittings and bulk materials each have their own format in the range.

Jobsite tool boxes

A job box is a lockable steel chest that stays on the jobsite so a crew's hand and power tools are ready at the work face each morning without being hauled home every night. The Tuffbank jobsite tool box is built from reinforced steel with high-security deadlocks and comes in several chest sizes, from one trade's kit to a full crew's. Choose it for tools that are used daily on one project and need to sit locked beside the work.

Truck and van tool boxes

Service technicians and mobile contractors who work out of a vehicle need storage that stays in it. The van tool box is a steel security box built for the cargo area, so tools that travel between several jobs a day stay locked while the van is parked.

Walk-in modular storage units

Once the kit outgrows a chest, a walk-in unit stores generators, larger power tools, consumables and boxed materials behind a lockable door. The walk-in tool and equipment storage unit arrives flat-packed, is assembled on site and locks with 5-lever deadlocks, and it comes in several floor sizes so the store can be matched to the crew and the length of the job.

Hazardous substance and flammables storage

Fuel, solvents, paints and other chemicals are kept apart from tools in a dedicated lockable store, with spill containment under liquids. On the jobsite that means a hazardous substances storage box for a crew's day-to-day containers, a larger chest or flat-pack walk-in store for bulk stock, and a spill containment pallet under drums. The full selection, including chemical storage cabinets with built-in sumps, has its own page, and spill kits are kept beside the store.

Gas cylinder cages

Propane, butane and oxygen cylinders are held in welded mesh cages that keep them contained, ventilated and locked. The gas cylinder storage cages are delivered assembled for a fixed store at a compound, facility, restaurant or fuel station. The stackable gas cylinder cage takes optional casters or a solid steel roof where cylinders need to move between work areas or be sheltered from the weather.

Steel fitting bins and post pallets

Scaffold couplers, fence clips, form stakes and other loose metalware go in steel fitting bins, which keep a job's fittings together and lift by forklift. Tube and long stock go on post pallets for scaffold tube, whose removable arms make loading and unloading easier, and a solid-base post pallet holds smaller components and boxed parts. The wider selection of racks and bins is on the storage cages and fitting bins page.

Pallet cages and mesh storage pallets

Bulky, irregular or round items that would roll off a flat pallet need sides. Wire mesh pallet cages hold demolition debris, surplus materials, cable and fasteners with the contents in view, and mesh storage pallets, with a mesh base and two mesh sides, stop tube, fittings and other small or round stock from slipping through.

Crane-lift goods cages and forklift crates

Loose, non-palletized materials travel between floors and across large sites in crane-lift goods cages, which carry cable, fittings, parts and tools inside mesh walls that keep the load contained. A forklift crate is a lockable steel crate with doors at the front and top, built for high-value equipment and test kits that must be stored and moved securely.

Drum racks and IBC totes

Oil drums and barrels are stored on their side on a stackable drum rack, which keeps them off the floor and makes use of the height in a store. Water, slurry and other non-hazardous liquids are held in reconditioned IBC totes, listed with the rest of the drums and totes.

Salt and grit bins

Road salt and grit for snow and ice control are stocked before the first freeze at entrances, ramps, sidewalks and parking lots. The salt and grit bin is clearly labeled, takes a padlock and has fork pockets, so a facilities team can place it where crews spread from and move it into storage in spring.

Steel cabinets, lockers and workstations

Site trailers, maintenance shops, depots and offices need lockable storage for documents, PPE, cleaning supplies and clothing. Steel storage cabinets come in standard, slim, low, lateral, multi-compartment and janitor's formats, and steel clothing lockers have a hanging rail and shelf, each in an industrial grade for workshops and sites or a commercial grade for offices. A jobsite workstation puts a standing worktop over a lockable cabinet, and computer stations lock away a site laptop.

Job box, walk-in unit or shipping container?

The deciding factors are the volume of kit and whether a delivery truck can reach the spot. A chest-style job box holds a crew's hand and power tools close to the work face, needs no foundation and takes up little more ground than a pallet. A flat-pack walk-in unit holds larger equipment and stock with room to step inside, and because it arrives as panels it can be carried into courtyards, basements, upper floors and other places a container truck and crane cannot reach. The walk-in hazardous substance store ships flat-packed in the same way, so fuel and chemicals can be segregated inside a building under construction. A shipping container is the other format buyers compare, and it suits bulk storage on open sites with clear truck access and room to set it down.

Jobsite storage for yards, facilities and municipal sites

Scaffold, fencing and equipment yards

In a yard the stock is couplers, clips, stakes, tube and panels, and what matters is counting it out to a job and back again and stacking it safely to save ground. Fitting bins and post pallets keep each component type together, and painted bins color-code stock by job, size or owner so it returns to the right stack.

Facilities, schools and municipal sites

Facilities teams, school districts and municipal crews keep cleaning supplies in janitor's cabinets and lock PPE, documents and spare parts in steel cabinets in maintenance shops. The cabinets carry an antibacterial powder coating, which suits schools, clinics and hospitals.

Secure site storage, lifting, stacking and weatherproofing

Security and locking

Steel construction, the lock and how well the lid or door resists prying decide how long a store holds out against theft. Job boxes, walk-in units and hazardous substance stores in the range lock with deadlocks set in reinforced steel bodies, which is the level of security tools and fuel left overnight need.

Moving it around site

Match the handling points to the equipment the site already runs. Crane lugs and lifting eyes, on goods cages and forklift crates, suit multi-level sites where loads go up by tower crane. Fork pockets and skids, on bins, pallets, cages and the larger hazardous cabinets, suit yards and ground-level work served by a forklift or telehandler.

Stacking and space when empty

Steel fitting bins, solid-base post pallets and mesh storage pallets stack up to six high on interlocking feet, which multiplies yard capacity without racking. Empty storage is the other half of the calculation, since wire mesh pallet cages fold flat and removable-arm post pallets flat-pack between jobs, so the stock takes far less floor space and fewer truckloads to bring back than it does when full.

Finish and weather

Storage that stays outdoors all year needs a finish matched to the exposure. Galvanized steel, used on crane-lift goods cages, gas cylinder cages and the zinc-coated pallet cages, suits open yards and sites where the store stands in rain and snow for months. Powder-coated and painted steel suits covered stores and lets stock be color-coded, and UV-stable polyethylene, used on the salt and grit bin, cannot rust and stands up to sun and road salt through the winter.


Frequently Asked Questions

How much do job boxes and site storage units cost?

Price follows size, steel construction and the security level of the lock, then the finish, since painted and powder-coated versions cost more than raw steel. A job box costs less than a walk-in unit, which holds far more, and made-to-order pallet boxes are sized and priced to the order. Each product page shows the current price for every size and finish.

Can tools, fuel and gas cylinders share one store?

Each needs its own store. Flammable liquids and chemicals go in a hazardous substance store with spill containment, compressed gas cylinders go in a ventilated cage, and tools go in a job box or walk-in unit. Keeping them apart separates battery chargers, cutting tools and other ignition sources from fuel, and local fire code sets the separation required on a given site.

How should gas cylinders be stored on a jobsite?

Cylinders are stored upright and secured against falling, in a locked, ventilated cage, with valve caps fitted when they are not in use. Oxygen is kept apart from fuel gases such as propane, and all cylinders stay away from ignition sources, exits and traffic routes. OSHA and local fire code set the requirements for pressurized gas storage.

Can site storage be lifted by crane when loaded?

Loaded storage can be craned when it has rated lifting points and the load stays within its rating. Crane-lift goods cages, forklift crates, IBC totes and the chain storage rack have crane lugs or rigging points, and the contents are secured before the lift. Storage without lifting points is moved by forklift through its fork pockets or emptied before it is moved.

Where should storage go in a site compound?

Stores sit on level, firm ground inside the fenced compound, where a forklift or truck can reach them and the site office has a view of the doors. Hazardous substance stores and gas cylinder cages go away from site trailers, exits, drains and hot work. Tool stores go on the side nearest the work so crews do not cross traffic routes, and on multi-level jobs the crane's reach decides where cages are loaded and landed.

Can site storage be bolted down?

Gas cylinder storage cages have pre-drilled feet for bolting to a slab or pad, which stops them tipping and stops them being carried away. Other stores rely on their weight, steel construction and locks.
