Access container: access container with integrated turnstiles

For this project, we converted a standard shipping container into an access and transit unit. The container was functionally adapted to manage controlled foot traffic without the need for complex technical installations. The result is a robust, well-organized, and flexible access solution.

Functional conversion of a standard shipping container

The basis of this project is a standard shipping container, which was converted into a practical transit container. The container structure was retained, while the interior was adapted to the intended use.

The conversion focuses on:

  • access and routing
  • overview and control
  • robust daily use

Internal transit zone with partition

Inside, the container is designed with a clearly defined passageway, with the space logically divided. The layout ensures:

  • controlled passage
  • clear direction of pedestrian flow
  • safe and orderly circulation

The passageway is entirely internal, which provides protection from the elements and enhances user comfort.

Separate control or monitoring zone

Next to the passageway, a separate space is provided, identifiable by the window in the side wall. This zone can be used for:

  • supervision
  • reception
  • simple operation or monitoring

The window provides visual contact with the passageway zone and enhances safety and visibility.

Robust and visible design

The container is finished in a striking color, which ensures:

  • high visibility on site
  • clear recognition as a functional point
  • an industrial and professional appearance

The steel container structure guarantees durability and stability, even with intensive use.

Practical, non-technical design

This enclosure is functional, but not technical in the sense of process installations. No complex technical systems are integrated, such as those found in water treatment or utility facilities.

The focus is on:

  • ease of use
  • robustness
  • easy installation and relocation

Modular and flexible

As with all shipping container solutions, this conversion is also:

  • modular in design
  • relocatable to another site
  • reusable for other applications
  • suitable for temporary or long-term use

The container can easily be adapted for a different purpose at a later time.

Applications

This converted shipping container is suitable for, among other things:

  • access or passage unit
  • checkpoint without technical installations
  • partition or routing element on sites
  • temporary infrastructure at events or construction sites

Custom work by DS Units

DS Units was also responsible for the entire process for this project: from design and conversion to the installation of a ready-to-use converted shipping container, tailored to functionality, safety, and flexibility.

Features of this project:

  • Conversion of a standard shipping container
  • Internal passageway
  • Separate monitoring or control room
  • Robust and visible finish
  • Non-technical application
  • Modular, movable, and reusable
