Walsall based firm Lion Containers Ltd are pleased to announce the four additional companies that now make up the Lion Containers Group.

Container conversions is something that the company already have a great deal of expertise in, so creating a dedicated company specialising in this area made sense. The basic design and robust steel construction of ISO shipping containers make them the perfect shell to create a variety of converted units. The fact that shipping containers are intermodal make them easily transportable and easy to move, re-site or remove. On most occasions, Lion Containers (Fabrications) Ltd provide the shipping containers as a “ready to go” solution. The company have converted containers into a wide variety of uses from house extensions and offices, to swimming pools and pop up shops.

Although the company is based in the middle of England, they were finding that they were having more and more offshore and DNV based enquiries. So, Lion Containers (Offshore) Ltd was set up to capture and concentrate on these enquiries. An offshore container is a portable unit with a maximum gross mass of 25,000kgs, for constant use for the transportation of goods and equipment, handled in open seas, to, from, and between fixed or floating installations or ships. As opposed to standard ISO Containers, DNV containers heavy duty construction is designed to withstand the rigours of being out at sea, particularly prevalent in the off-shore oil and gas industries. The DNV certification 2.7-1 states the standard of container required for off-shore containers in order to make sure that the DNV closed container is able to transport cargo in adverse seas safely without damaging cargo or surrounding objects.

A lot of Lion Containers’ existing conversions were for boiler housings, and Lion Containers (Biomass) Ltd specialises in such conversions. The most common request is to incorporate a fuel storage area into the boiler housing, with the most popular fuel type being wood pellets offering a consistent, controlled fuel source with minimum storage space. Containerised biomass boilers are the preferred solution for many of our customers due to their simple and efficient installation methods, minimum disruption during installation, removal and re-siting, extensive environmental benefits, economical benefits, sustainability, speed of siting and ease of planning, reduced C02 emissions compared to fossil fuels, and eligibility for funding under the governments Renewable Heat Incentive (applications can be referred to Ofgem).
