Switch Rooms

Switch Room ContainersSwitch room containers are designed and built for the on-site testing of electrical equipment that needs to be monitored in a temperature controlled environment. Switch rooms or control rooms are the electrical nerve centre of a worksite, and the technology, electrical equipment and sensitive controls it houses are often of critical importance. Even a small equipment failure can have a catastrophic financial effect on a business, so a high quality temperature controlled switch room or control room is vital.At Port Shipping Containers we recognise the significance of a high quality, reliable switch room. Our portable shipping container switch rooms are lined with the highest quality 50 mm insulated sandwich panelling available on the market. Heavy duty air conditioners are also available to keep your electrical components and critical technology requirements temperature controlled.Modified Shipping Container Switch RoomsOur shipping container switch rooms are available in 20 foot and 40 foot sizes, and we can customise the switch room to your exact requirements with a wide range of accessories.
