More About This Product
The Armorgard FittingStor FC3 is a large-capacity secure mobile storage cabinet designed for storing and organising copper fittings, cable, and M&E components on busy construction sites. Built from heavy-duty 1.6mm and 2mm powder-coated steel, it features twin keyed-alike 5-lever deadlocks, anti-jemmy door protection, three removable shelves with 15 individual storage bins, and forklift skids for easy site relocation.
Suitable Applications
The FC3 is the most popular model in the FittingStor range, designed for M&E contractors, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC engineers working on commercial construction projects. With three shelves and 15 storage bins, it provides comprehensive organisation for copper pipe fittings, electrical connectors, cable, valves, and small tools. The FC3 is well-suited to multi-storey builds, large fit-out projects, and sites with multiple trades requiring secure, shared storage.
A site box stays put and is sized for a site compound; for tools that travel in a van or on a truck bed see the tool box range, and for flammables or chemicals a site security box adds a liquid-tight sump.
How to Use the FittingStor FC3
- Position the FittingStor on a flat, even surface and engage the castor brakes before loading.
- Load heavier items in the base compartment first, then place lighter fittings on the shelves and in the storage bins.
- Ensure weight is evenly distributed to prevent the unit becoming unstable.
- Secure both 5-lever deadlocks and remove the keys before leaving the unit unattended.
- To relocate, unlock the castor brakes and wheel the unit to its new position, or use a forklift or pallet truck via the integrated skids.
Important:
Always secure all locks and remove keys before lifting the unit. The FittingStor must be empty when being lifted by forklift.

- Carry out a risk assessment before using the FittingStor, including lifting and lowering procedures.
- Two or more people are required to lift or manoeuvre the unit when not using mechanical handling equipment.
- Do not overload the unit or place excessively heavy items on upper shelves.
- Always engage castor brakes when the unit is stationary.
- Check hinges, locks, shelves, and latches every three months or more frequently under rigorous use.
- Do not force entry into the product as this may affect the warranty.
