Assembly hints
1. Try to get the pack delivered as close as possible to
the erection area. If it arrives on one of our HIAB lorries,
please let the driver know and they will help by
levelling it up with you. To ensure the chassis is level, it’s
best to use each of the four corners and once level
support the base in the middle to help prevent any
sag over time.
2. Ideally concrete bases are the best option for long-
term installations although paving slabs can provide
the simplest solution. Plywood packing is ideal for small
adjustments or short/medium-term installations.
3. The erection process is made much easier when the
chassis is level at the start.
4. Don’t assemble in windy conditions as this can be
dangerous and make sure you have enough people
available to move and erect the panels safely.
Maintenance
1. Check foundations periodically to make sure that the
unit remains level. igns that the unit might have
moved usually result in the door becoming difficult to
open or close, or the unit rocking on the pads.
2. The only moving parts are the lock and hinges which
need a light oiling on a periodic basis.
3. Check the roof from time to time and remove any
debris, especially leaves, to ensure the gutters work
correctly.
Othe info mation
1. If you keep all the packaging material, it can be used
to re-pack the unit at a later date. Otherwise please
recycle it.
2. The unit is not designed to be stacked.
3. The unit once correctly assembled, can be lifted and
moved using the lifting hooks. Please check the
security of all fixings each time before lifting.

Delive y and unpacking
1. The store will arrive in flat pack form. If the crane can
offload and level up in the final erection position, this
will save you time later.
2. Whether or not you need to move the parts to a
different location, the store now needs to be
unpacked. Unbolt the four metal retaining plates using
a 19mm spanner and also unscrew the lifting eyes.
The retaining plates are not required for assembly, so
dispose or keep if you intend to re-pack the unit at a
later date.
E ection of the flat pack sto e
1. Position the door panel on the end required.
2. Using a 13mm socket now fit 4x M8 bolts and washers
to secure the door panel to the chassis.
3. Now lift off the top roof panel and all other items.
Lay them out neatly so you can easily locate the parts
later. Don’t do this in windy conditions as individual
parts could be blown away, endangering you
and others.
4. If you need to move the parts to a new location, do so
now. Begin with the base which needs to be level
(check with the spirit level), before starting the
erection process.
3. Fit locks into the door panel, slide the barrels into the
door and turn. Once the lock turns, this shows it is
located correctly and the screw can be inserted and
tightened using your PZ2 screwdriver.

4. Now unlock the door and prop it open using the
wooden packaging that you removed earlier. If you
are erecting on an exposed site, you may need others
to hold the door panel to prevent it falling and
causing damage.
6. Now fix the side panel to the chassis using 3x M10 and
2x M8 bolts and washers.
5. Now lift either wall panel (if the site is restricted we
recommend you start with the wall nearest any
obstruction) to the side of the chassis base. The tongue
on the side panel will slide into a groove on the door
panel. Once aligned correctly, fix the wall panel to the
door panel using an M8 bolt with washer each side.
7. Repeat steps 5 – 6 for the other side panel.
8. Now fit the end panel (panel opposite the door). Rest
on the bottom of the chassis rail at 45 degrees and
raise up, aligning the tongue and groove joints as you
lift. Do not force this as it could damage the tongue,
making it difficult to align correctly later. ecure to
chassis and side panels as per other panels.
9. Next fit the roof panel, making sure the ID plate is at
the door end. You may need additional helpers at this
point. Firstly close and lock the door, and assuming site
conditions allow, lift the roof onto the door panel and
slide up. Once the roof panel is in the correct place it
will slot over all four walls. Please keep fingers clear at
this point as it can lock down unexpectedly. If
necessary the panel can be slid up from the side but
due to steeper angles this requires more effort.

10. Now fit the 4x M8 bolts and two washers to secure the
the roof to the respective wall panels.
13. Finally adjust the ball catch using the PZ screw driver so
that the door closes easily but remains in position when
unlocked. Clockwise brings the ball out and
anticlockwise pushes it in again.
11. Using your stepladder, access the top of the roof to
screw in the 4x lifting eyes.
12. Fit the handles onto the inside and outside of the door
using the screws provided.

7. Connect the side profiles
Linking (eithe side by side o end on end)
You will need either side linking kit or end linking kit

Prepare the base
1. Decide where you wish to have the door panels which
can be fitted at the same end, diagonally at each end
or even opposite each other on the same container.
2. Align both chassis together with a gap of around 88-
90mm between them, then use the floor joining
wooden strips as an easy check to see if they are
parallel and the correct distance apart.
6. Connect the joining strip from the inside to the roof.
3. Build up both stores in the usual way, leaving the two
side wall panels off between the joint where you
intend to join the two containers.
4. Fit roof panels as normal.
5. Check alignment between the two chassis.

8. Finally place the wooden joint strips between the gap
on the floor.
9. Using your stepladder, place the outer joining strip on
the top of the roof between the two roof panels and
bend the tabs to secure in place.
