Modified shipping containers is one of the best accommodation options that you can consider for your mining accommodation needs. These are portable units that make perfect accommodation for your mining staff. Before you set out to order your shipping containers you should understand the mining accommodation units ordering process.

The first step is finalization of your requirements. You should know your requirements clearly because this will be the first question your suppliers will ask. You should know the size of the accommodation units you need, the number of people that you would like to accommodate, facilities that you will need in the accommodation units etc. You should put down your requirements in paper so that you know that nothing is left out and that your requirements are not misunderstood by your supplier. This will avoid unnecessary future confusions.

When you are finalizing your requirements you should decide on the size of the required portable housing units. This is one of the major factors that determine the cost of your mining units.

Once you have your requirements finalized, you need to find a supplier that specializes in the manufacturing and installation of shipping container accommodation units. You must try to get multiple quotes and when you are getting your quotes make sure that you get written quotes. You should always take time to go through every item in the quote. You should also look for any hidden expenses involved in buying and installing your mining accommodation units. When you are comparing quotes you should also review the quality of services offered by various companies. It is important to choose companies that give you good customer service.

After choosing the right vendor for your mining units you should list all the questions that are likely to have before you place your order. It is crucial that you have your questions answered and your doubts clarified. You should also get a clear timeline for the delivery of the ordered mining units. While getting your time line and the delivery dates, you should give your supplier the exact location where you would like to have your accommodation units installed. This will help your supplier give you more accurate timeline for the delivery of your accommodation units.

These are some of the important factors that you need to take into account before placing your order. Once you have placed your order you should take into account the next phase of the ordering process and that is to prepare the place where the mining units are to be installed. Having the place cleared and cleaned up before the arrival of the accommodation units will make things easy. In normal circumstances, it will be your responsibility to prepare the installation grounds and your supplier would not have included the cost for the installation ground preparation and they also would not have come prepared with the adequate equipment or personnel for such tasks unless you have already intimated your supplier of such requirements.

Everyday hundreds of storage containers are being unloaded at our ports by importers, but what happens when the’re emptied? It would cost the importer too much money to send the empty container back to it’s origin, and why would they? Just so you know they are not just left there to rott, but are on sold to shipping container companies to service and resell.
Most of the used containers are just refurbished and resold to exporters or other industries such as construction, mining or transport companies, though these used containers also have have other purposes.

A site office is constructed from a new or used shipping container and can be modified to suit the owners individual needs. Container King design and construct site offices based on there clients needs and fit them with optional site office accessories upon request. These mobile offices are then transported via a side loader to the clients location and setup for operation.
