20ft Air-Conditioned Container Conversion

When a facilities management team in the railway infrastructure sector needed somewhere secure to keep temperature-sensitive stock, a standard storage container was never going to be enough. RFB Containers delivered a fully insulated, air-conditioned 20ft unit — shelved, wired and climate-controlled — giving the team a clean, organised store they could rely on all year round.

What problem was the client facing?

The Challenge

The customer required a temperature-controlled storage container. Everyday storage units are prone to heat build-up and condensation, which makes them unsuitable for stock and equipment that has to be held within a stable temperature range. The solution needed to be properly insulated, powered, and laid out so the team could find what they needed quickly.

How did RFB deliver?

The Solution

RFB supplied a 20ft New (one-trip) container, converted to create a fully functional temperature-controlled store. The conversion included:

Ply lining and insulation throughout
Four-tier shelving fitted to both sides for maximum usable storage
Full electrical fit-out including lighting and sockets
Air-conditioning unit installed to maintain a controlled internal temperature

Starting from a new one-trip container meant the team got a clean, watertight base unit — the right foundation for an insulated, climate-controlled space.

How have RFB helped?

The Result

The client now has a secure, temperature-controlled store on site in Dundee, with shelving on both sides keeping stock organised and easy to access. The insulation and air-conditioning hold conditions steady year-round, while the lighting and sockets make the unit a genuinely workable space rather than just a box.
