Panel Built Introduces New Line of Converted Shipping Containers

Panel Built, Inc. Expands Their Line of Modular Building Solutions With Convenient and Affordable Converted Shipping Containers

Panel Built Introduces New Line of Converted Shipping Containers

The world of modular building is characterized by constructing quality buildings as swiftly as possible. Now, Panel Built, Inc. is looking to push these modular benefits even further with their new line of converted shipping containers. Shipping containers offer an incredible starting point for a new modular construction project. The structures are designed to be the most durable containers on Earth, capable of withstanding long cargo trips over the ocean. When adapted into a modular building, the building inherits great strength and corrosion resistance from the original container, making them a long-lasting, durable space solution.

Additionally, shipping container conversions provide the manufacturer a head-start in their fabrication process; they already have the building envelop in place. From there, an experienced modular construction provider can craft a wholly unique shipping container building design and layout. Since shipping container conversions can be designed for a wide range of applications from military field offices to stadium ticket booths, the containers can be designed with a limitless number of internal configurations, including individual offices, restrooms, locker rooms, and more!


Shipping container conversions carry all the other benefits of modular construction, including reduced project times and more convenient installation on-site. While the container is being converted in the factory, the job site can be prepped for installation, cutting the overall project time compared to stick-built alternatives. As a part of the conversion, the containers can have a variety of features pre-installed like electrical, plumbing fixtures, countertops, cabinets, and more.

After fabrication is finished in the modular factory, the converted containers undergo a rigorous inspection, before being packaged for delivery to the job site. Once delivered, the container building only needs to be off-loaded from the truck, placed in its final location, anchored to the ground, and have power/water amenities connected. This short installation time provides customers with minimal on-site disruption and helps provide them with a quicker return on investment.

In the modular construction business for 25 years, Panel Built, Inc. has become one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry. Starting with panelized buildings, today Panel Built designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs a full line of modular offices, mezzanines, cleanrooms, guard booths, ballistic-rated buildings, canopies, shelters, and other prefabricated structures. With each project, Panel Built's mission is "To Solve Our Customers' Space Needs With Excellence And Great Customer Service."

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs. The result is an optimized flow rack where parts and materials are strategically organized at the point of use. This setup enables workers to quickly locate the components they need, reducing downtime and saving time. Creform offers multiple flow lane options and can create virtually any hybrid solution.

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.
