Business Storm Locker
The generator, the pumps, the water and the records, dry and locked behind the building — loaded in June. Restaurants, clinics, shops and small plants on the Coast and in the Pine Belt that lose a week of business every time the power goes.
Illustration of the package set up. This is what it can become, not how it arrives.
How a package arrives — read this first
Nothing is installed. You get two deliveries: the container, a used box exactly as described on its product page, set on your ground by tilt-bed truck; and the kit, each part in its own box by parcel from the accessory supplier, usually within a week. You put it together — the lock box bolts through the door bars, brackets and hooks hang on the corrugation, lights mount with the hardware in the box; a vent is the one cut (an opening in the wall panel with a grinder or a metal-blade jigsaw, half an hour each). An afternoon with a drill and a step ladder. A package is a shopping list and a plan, priced as one, not a finished build.

Options we quote with the container (not in the price above): Anchoring hardware — ask your building department first; we will point you to a supplier · A second 40ft for patio furniture and signage. Mention them in the order notes.
What it is and is not
Loaded, level and blocked up on the high side of the lot, a 40ft container is a six-ton steel box that keeps rain out — the right place for the generator, the pumps, the water, the paper and the spare equipment. It is not a shelter, and it is not a substitute for the flood elevation your lot may require: if the lot takes water, so does the box.
Order in June
Supplier lead time is three to seven business days in a normal week and much longer the week a storm is named. Load it in June, walk it once a quarter, and the morning after the storm the generator rolls out on its wheels and the business opens.
What arrives and how
The container comes on a tilt-bed and slides off onto the blocks; the kit ships by parcel, usually inside a week. Bolt the lock box, cut the two vent openings, hang the shelving and lights. The plan set draws the load: what runs the business by the doors, what the wind takes in the middle, what cannot get wet high at the back.
The plan set — free, by email
Seven letter-size sheets drawn to this box: floor plan, elevation and cross section from real ISO dimensions, the site and leveling sheet, the parts list (this package, line for line), what you buy locally with estimated costs, and the build order. Not an engineered drawing; see the plans page for what that means.
Questions
Can we keep generator fuel in it?
Will the city let us put it behind the building?
Is it insurable contents?
