Logistics and storage for agricultural and mining equipment: the advantage of shipping containers
The agriculture and mining sectors use gigantic, very costly machines. This equipment operates in isolated, harsh environments (mud, rocks, fields). You need to store bulky spare parts. You need to repair your equipment on site. The shipping container is the most robust solution on the market. It protects your equipment from dust. It keeps out mud and stops theft.

Container uses in agricultural and mining equipment
Farms and mining sites share constraints of isolation and duration: equipment must be protected, maintained, and secured directly on site, without relying on permanent infrastructure. Our containers meet these requirements by deploying storage, maintenance, and office capacity within 48 hours, adapted to each site configuration.
Industry constraints
How containers meet the requirements of agricultural and mining environments
-
Strength and security (Corten steel)
Mines and farms are rugged terrain. Our Corten steel containers withstand accidental impacts from construction equipment. They stand up to storms. Their heavy doors protect your valuable tools from break-ins in isolated areas.
-
Flexibility and modularity (rapid deployment)
Activity moves with the harvests or new extraction zones. The container has no foundations. It loads very quickly onto a truck. It follows the geographic evolution of your project or vast operation.
-
Compliance (adherence to industry standards)
The doors of our containers are fitted with very thick rubber seals. They are compressed when closed. They prevent fine rock dust or harvest dust from getting inside.
The most commonly used container types for agricultural and mining equipment
Flat rack, open side, and fitted-out workshop formats were chosen for their ability to accommodate oversized parts, large tires, and heavy maintenance equipment without any length or width constraints. Their Corten steel structure withstands the extreme operating conditions — dust, vibration, temperature swings — typical of quarries and large-scale farming.
-
Flat rack container
This model has no roof or walls. It is a very solid, reinforced platform. It is essential for transporting huge harvesters or mining equipment. This equipment does not fit inside a standard closed box.
-
Workshop container (fitted-out)
This module is equipped by our design office. We install heavy workbenches inside. We add wall storage for large tools. Powerful lighting and power outlets are installed. It is the perfect rear base for your mechanics.
-
Open side container (side opening)
The doors open along the entire side of the container. This is ideal for easily loading bulky parts. Your fork-equipped tractor can deposit long blades, heavy axles, or engines with no problem.
Standards
Agricultural and mining standards and regulations to comply with
-
The Environmental Code
It strictly prohibits the release of polluting products into the soil. Our containers with a containment floor fully secure the storage of your oils.
-
The ISO 14001 standard
It validates the sound environmental management of your mining or farming operation. Using watertight storage proves your commitment against groundwater pollution.
-
ATEX regulations
In coal mines or near agricultural fuel tanks, the risk of explosion exists. We can fit out containers with specific spark-proof electrical equipment.
FAQ
FAQ: your questions about containers and heavy equipment
Find answers to the most common questions about our containers and services.
Do I need a concrete slab to place a container on a farm or in a quarry?
No, a slab is not required at all. The container just needs to rest on a flat, hard surface. In a field or a gravel pit, concrete blocks or large wooden chocks under the four corners are more than enough.
Does the container really protect against dust from harvests or mining?
Yes. Dry shipping containers are designed to withstand the worst ocean storms. Their double doors are fitted with heavy rubber seals. Once closed, the box is completely watertight and dust-tight, even against very fine dust.
How do you lift heavy engine parts inside the container?
To make your mechanics' work easier, our workshop can install a metal jib crane. We can also hang a small manual overhead hoist from the container's reinforced ceiling. This allows large parts to be handled without straining your back.
