The Armorgard Forma-Stor FR200-T is a flat-pack, walk-in secure storage container that assembles in as little as 10 minutes. The 2-metre deep unit offers substantially more storage capacity than the FR100-T while retaining the same quick-assembly, modular design. 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 site relocation.
Key Features
- Assembles in approximately 10 minutes - galvanised steel panels slot together quickly using standard tools, with no welding or specialist equipment required.
- Twin 5-lever deadlocks - keyed alike with heavy-duty keys for robust security on site.
- Jemmy-proof joins - panel connections are designed to resist forced entry attempts.
- Crane lifting eyes - four integrated lifting points allow the assembled unit to be repositioned by crane (unit must be empty when lifted).
- Forklift pockets - integrated skids for transportation via forklift or pallet truck.
- Galvanised and powder-coated finish - weather-resistant construction suitable for outdoor site use.
- Flat-pack storage - panels can be stacked flat when not in use, saving space during transport and storage.
- Stackable when assembled - units can be stacked up to two high when empty.
- 2m depth - provides generous walk-in storage space for tools, equipment, and materials.

Suitable Applications
The FR200-T is designed for contractors who need secure walk-in storage with more capacity than a standard site box but without the logistics of delivering a traditional shipping container. The 2-metre depth provides ample room for power tools, materials, PPE, and site equipment while the flat-pack design allows delivery to locations with restricted access. Ideal for commercial fit-out projects, residential developments, refurbishment work, and any site where a conventional container cannot be craned or driven into position.
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 FR200-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 (53kg) and the base panel weighs 113kg. Take all safety precautions when lifting panels into position. Two or more people are required for assembly, and mechanical lifting aids may be needed for heavier panels.
Safety Information
- Carry out a risk assessment before assembling or using the Forma-Stor.
- At least two people are required to erect or dismantle the unit. Wear appropriate PPE during assembly.
- The Forma-Stor must be positioned on a flat, solid, level surface before use.
- Always lock the unit when not in use or out of sight. Do not leave keys inside when locking.
- The unit must be empty before lifting by crane or forklift.
- Check that all parts are in good condition before each use. Inspect bolts, locks, forklift pockets, and lifting eyes every three months.
- Keep hands clear when closing the door to avoid injury.
- Always check that no personnel remain inside before locking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the Forma-Stor FR200-T take to assemble?
The FR200-T can be assembled in approximately 10 minutes by two people using standard tools (19mm spanner or socket, impact driver). No welding or specialist equipment is required.
Q: Is the Forma-Stor weatherproof?
The Forma-Stor is weather-resistant with a galvanised and powder-coated finish, making it suitable for outdoor site use. However, it is not fully waterproof. Equipment susceptible to water damage should be stored on shelves or sealed appropriately.
Q: What is the difference between the FR100-T and FR200-T?
The FR200-T is 2 metres deep compared to the FR100-T's 1 metre depth, providing approximately double the internal storage volume. The FR200-T weighs 380kg assembled versus 270kg for the FR100-T.
Q: Can I get replacement keys for the Forma-Stor?
Yes. Every Forma-Stor is serial numbered, and Armorgard can cut replacement keys using this serial number. Replacement keys and locks are available for products up to five years old.
