More About This Product
The Armorgard Forma-Stor FR100-T is a flat-pack, walk-in secure storage container that can be assembled in as little as 10 minutes. Designed for construction sites where space is limited or access is restricted, the FR100-T delivers the security of a traditional container in a modular, person-portable format. Built from galvanised and powder-coated steel panels with jemmy-proof joins, it features twin 5-lever deadlocks, forklift pockets, and crane lifting eyes for easy relocation.
Suitable Applications
The FR100-T is designed for contractors who need secure walk-in storage but lack the space or access for a traditional shipping container. At just 1 metre deep, it is the most compact unit in the Forma-Stor range, making it ideal for hoists, rooftop installations, internal fit-out projects, and sites with restricted vehicle access. The flat-pack design means panels can be carried through doorways, up stairs, or lifted by hoist and assembled at the point of use. Once erected, the FR100-T provides robust, lockable storage for tools, equipment, and materials.
Flat-pack units ship assembled-on-site, which cuts delivery cost and gets through doorways a welded unit cannot. See also site boxes.
How to Assemble the Forma-Stor FR100-T
- Place the base panel on a flat, level, stable surface.
- Position one side panel on the base and use the 20mm bolts to locate it, then secure with 45mm bolts. Leave fixings loose at this stage.
- Position the rear panel to form a corner, supporting the side panel. Fix with pipe linchpins and 20mm bolts.
- Place the second side panel and secure with bolts and linchpins as before.
- Slot the door panel onto the base and fix to the side panels with linchpins and bolts.
- Place the roof panel on top, ensuring the grooves fit securely to the top of each wall panel.
- Fix the roof in place using the 45mm bolts provided, then tighten all bolts throughout the unit.
Warning:
The roof panel is heavy (33kg). Take all safety precautions when lifting into position. Two or more people are required for assembly.
