For site managers and groundworks firms in locations where tool theft and vandalism are a real risk.
A standard ISO shipping container has thin pressed steel doors with exposed hinges and basic padlock eyes. They provide reasonable weather protection — but they're not built to resist a determined forced entry. Exposed hinges can be cut with an angle grinder. Standard padlock eyes can be levered off.
An anti-vandal container removes those weak points. Recessed hinges sit inside the door frame — there's no exposed metalwork to cut. Hardened locking bars run the full height of the door. The door frame itself is reinforced to resist crowbars. If you're storing tools, plant equipment, or materials on an urban site or in a high-theft area, it's the right unit.
| Security Feature | Standard Container | Anti-Vandal Container |

| Locking | Standard padlock eye | Hardened locking bar + hasp |
| Door frame | Standard pressed steel | Reinforced — resists crowbar attack |
| Door steel | Standard gauge | Heavy-gauge steel on doors |
| Windows / vents | Unprotected (if fitted) | Security shutter option available |
