Who Chooses SkyShield™?
Trusted by industry leaders for enterprise-scale temporary building solutions
Construction Contractors
SkyShield™ is widely adopted on construction and civils projects, where container canopies provide fast cover for compounds, welfare areas, and material laydown zones. Because they are Temporary Dismantlable Structures (TDS), they can be dismantled at project completion and redeployed to the next site, giving contractors flexibility without the need for permanent works.
Logistics Operators
For logistics and freight companies, SkyShield™ functions as a shipping container shelter for pallets, cross-docking, and heavy machinery. The 40ft, 80ft, and 120ft models are especially popular at distribution yards where seasonal surges or temporary contracts demand extra covered capacity.
Agriculture & Storage
Farmers and agribusinesses use conex shelters to protect hay, feed, vehicles, and equipment. Because SkyShield™ canopies mount directly to containers or concrete blocks, they are a robust and relocatable alternative to traditional barns, making them suitable for year-round agricultural use.
Blue-Chip Procurement & Tier-1 Projects
Procurement teams for infrastructure and Tier-1 contractors select SkyShield™ because it scales. Whether it’s a 20ft canopy for welfare cover or a 120ft flagship container shelter for major compounds, SkyShield™ meets compliance standards, is EN 1090 steel certified, and is supplied with fire-retardant PVC covers. This ensures that buyers can demonstrate audit-ready compliance while acquiring a relocatable solution that grows with project demand.
Emergency Response & Government Projects
SkyShield™ shelters are frequently deployed by emergency response teams and government agencies for rapid infrastructure needs. Their container-mounted design allows for immediate setup as command centers, medical screening zones, or temporary storage for disaster relief operations. The modular bays can be extended or dismantled quickly, ensuring continuity of operations during critical situations.
Industrial & Manufacturing Sites
Industrial operators choose SkyShield™ canopies for on-site storage, equipment protection, and fabrication zones. The heavy-duty galvanized steel frames and fire-rated PVC covers provide reliable weather protection while maintaining open floor space for machinery and forklift movement. Ideal for manufacturing compounds or plant expansions requiring relocatable, compliant cover solutions.
