Safety information
Before using the Forma-Stor, ensure any relevant risk assessments are carried out.
Armorgard cannot be responsible for accidents that occur due to negligence.
At least two people are required to erect or dismantle the Forma-Stor and all relevant
PPE must be worn while doing so. Never lift if not comfortable to do so.
 TheForma-Stormustbepositionedonaat,solidsurface,andshouldbeleveland
stable before being used.
Ensure the Forma-Stor is fully assembled and that it is empty before lifting or moving it.
OnlyqualiedpersonnelshouldlifttheForma-Stor.
It is important to ensure that our guidelines are followed when assembling the Forma-
Stor, and extra care is needed when lifting panels.
Ensure that all parts are in good working condition prior to using the Forma-Stor.
Always lock the Forma-Stor when it’s not in use or out of sight. Do NOT leave keys
inside the unit while locking.
The unit is compatible with most padlocks (which are not included). We recommend
using the MasterLock #5 or the American Lock A50. Please contact a member of the
team if uncertain.
Only use UL or CSA listed electrical devices that meet the requirements of the local
jurisdiction.

While every effort has been made to ensure this operational and maintenance manual
covers every aspect needed to operate your product safely, please take care while using
the product and always operate with caution. Always liaise with management personnel
on site for any additional operational restrictions that you need to be aware of.
Lifting hazard. Single person lift could cause injury. Use assistance
when lifting.
Always follow safe lifting practices. You should stand as close to the
load as possible so you don’t exert more force onto your back by
extending the distance. Then bend your knees and keep your upper
body upright so your legs do the lifting rather than your back. Look
straight ahead and keep your back straight and shoulders back so
you have a slight arch in your lower back. Seek assistance from
another person or a lifting device if the weight exceeds what you are
comfortable lifting alone.
Do Don’t
Secure all locks when not in use Leave unlocked when unattended
Ensure parts are fully slotted together Leave keys or living things inside unit
Ensure it’s safe when opening/closing door Forget to do integrity checks before lifting

How to assemble
1.
4.
Familiarise yourself with all panels’
positions and orientation, i.e. the
top of each panel. Attach the crane
lifting eyes onto the roof.
Ensure it is supported safely while
you use the M12x45mm bolts and
washers to secure the side to the
base in two positions. Do not fully
tightenuntilallpanelsaretted.
2. With the base on a level, stable
surface, place one of the side panels
on the base, and support it in an
upright position.
3. Secure the side panel to the base
using two M12x20 bolts in each hole
along the side panel.

13
6.
7. 8.
Attach pipe linch pins in each corner.
This will enable the rear panel to
support the side panel. Then, secure
the bolts through the base as per
step 4.
There are two linch pins for each
corner. Secure the rear panel to the
base as described in step 3.
Place the other side panel on the
base, and secure it to the base panel
with bolts as described in steps 3-4.
Fit two linch pins in the corner.
5. Next, position the rear panel to
form a corner.

14
9. 10.
11.
Slot the door panel into place and
secure to the side panels with linch pins
as described in step 6, and bolts as
described in step 3 and 4. Ensure the
door is fully supported before opening
for the next step.
Now place the roof on top. The
roof is heavy and care should be
taken when lifting into position.
Please take all safety precautions
necessary when moving this part.
Extra people or equipment may be
required to lift safely.
Secure the roof panel to both side
panels using M12x45mm bolts and
washers in four positions on the
inside of the Forma-Stor.
12. Finally,fullytightenallxingsand
lifting eyes, ensuring that none
are missed.

Dismantling the Forma-Stor
1. 2.
To dismantle the Forma-Stor, remove
the parts in reverse order to which
they were assembled.
Removetheroofrst,followedby
the door panel, a side panel, the rear
panel, and then the remaining side
panel. Bolts can be threaded back
into the panels for safekeeping.
3. The Forma-Stor can then be stacked
initsat-packedform.Pleasenote
that you MUST remove the locking
rods before dismantling.

16
How to install the locking rods
4. Align the perforations of the angle
with the rivet nuts already located on
the door and use a washer and bolt
to secure the angle bracket in place.
3. Take the upper support angle and
slide its slot through the edge of
the top rod.
2. Fit the rod onto the bolt of the latch as
shown, then secure with nuts. Repeat
for the opposite rod.
1. Installations will take place inside
of the Forma-Stor. Locate yourself
inside the unit. Once inside, locate
the back side of the door latch.

7.
Repeat the previous step for the
bottom rod using the lower support
angle.
Use the previous mark as a reference
todrilla1/2”holeontheoorpanel. 8. Finally, take the lock plate and
align its middle perforation to

How to use the lock
4. Twist the handle 90° to release the
door and pull to open it.
3. Grab the T Handle and swing it to
the left until it’s perpendicular to
the front face of the door.

7.
To lock the unit, shut the door, then
open the cover plate to expose the
locking mechanism.
Slide an unlocked padlock into the
inner shackle of the pocket to pre-
vent the movement of the T Handle.
8. Lockthepadlock,andtitinto
the lock housing. After removing
the key, the cover plate should be
able to close easily.
6. Ensure the T Handle is parallel to
the front face of the door.

Using the lifting eyes
1. 2.
Before lifting, ensure that the internal
bolts holding the lifting eyes are
securely in place.
Warning! The lifting eyes are only provided for positioning of the Forma-Stor, and the
unit must be empty while lifting. Before lifting, each lifting eye must be checked that it is
undamaged and installed correctly, and should be inspected by a lifting operator before
use.
Attach the lifting equipment to all
four lifting eyes and ensure that the
load is lifted evenly across all four
eyes.
3. Lifting eyes should only be used once
