Container workshop

The company’s service philosophy for Eicher mining trucks is to provide service at the customers’ doorstep to help them achieve higher uptime. Workshop containers are the perfect solution for many of the mining industry’s unique requirements, be the storage, containerized building or something more unique. Due to the fly in, fly out nature of many workers contracts, temporary accommodation is required at, or close to the site. Converted shipping containers are ideal for these accommodation units as they are strong, secure and easy to modify elsewhere before transporting them to isolated mining sites.

Portable accommodation units are stackable and scalable allowing customers to increase their amount of accommodation based on the number of vehicles in operation. For technicians, an accommodation container is also installed. This is considered a “house” with bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Workstation containers make life in hot climates comfortable, with air-conditioned workstation, storage space for parts and working bay with hydraulic lift.
