In manufacturing, the rhythm of production demands constant space. Leaving your valuable tools, dies and equipment in unsecured yard staging is a gamble that can lead to theft and severe weather damage. Eagle Leasing offers robust, all-steel units engineered to help protect against theft and wear through heavy-duty locking systems.
Since the 1960s, Eagle Leasing has grown into a trusted provider of trailers and containers across the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic.
The Cost of Unsecured Tooling
Manufacturing equipment storage containers help keep your assets more secure against:
- Theft: Unsecured equipment is more vulnerable to theft. A lockable storage container for tools can protect your items and reduce the risk of losses.
- Space limitations: Inactive dies and equipment can take up valuable space and contribute to throughput bottlenecks. Storage containers provide the extra space you need to stay organized.
- Corrosion: Businesses working with tools and sensitive metal parts need reliable storage to protect against corrosive weather effects, especially in harsh winter conditions.
Storage containers help to secure manufacturing equipment, tools and other valuables from unnecessary replacement costs. Dedicated container storage also gives teams a consistent place to secure idle tooling, dies, fixtures and support equipment between runs.
The right setup keeps production floors clearer, supports faster retrieval and helps limit the indoor space tied up by inactive assets.
Security Features for Storage Containers
Standard commercial padlocks typically rely on a single exposed latch point. This type of lockable storage container can be an easy target for bolt cutters, making it less effective for storing valuable assets like CNC tooling. Unlike standard locks, the Eagle Lock® from Eagle Leasing wraps around both vertical cargo door bars (fitting bars spaced 9.75 to 22 inches apart), creating a more effective barrier.
Other key features of choosing the Eagle Lock® for your tools or industrial equipment include:
- Robust construction: Our storage containers are built from heavy-duty 14-gauge corten steel panels. Coupled with resilient cam-locking cargo doors, they help to deter break-ins.
- A 13-pound lock: Featuring 2-inch and 2.5-inch square steel tubes with 3/16-inch-thick walls, the Eagle Lock® is engineered from hardened steel to provide superior protection.
- Weather-resistant: The Eagle Lock® features a weather-resistant powder-coat finish to withstand harsh Northeast winters. This helps keep valuable assets safe year-round.
- Workflow integration: Despite its formidable 13-pound heavy-duty build, the Eagle Lock® is designed for efficiency. It can be locked and removed quickly, keeping your crew productive during busy periods.
Choosing the Right Manufacturing Storage Container
Choosing the right secure equipment storage container is about finding what works for your jobsite and workload. Our ground-level units are suited to facilities that require fast, ramp-free access for heavy dies using standard material-handling equipment.
Where available, our dock-height storage trailers serve as a seamless, sealed extension of your warehouse and help you manage palletized goods with ease. We have a team of professional drivers who specialize in maneuvering these storage containers into tight, often challenging locations, ensuring precise placement where you need it most.
Organizing Your Tool and Die Storage
Effective tool and die storage can help streamline your operations. We offer tool-free pipe racks and shelving that support a structured organization of your materials without permanent welding or modifications. This racking system is designed to keep sensitive items separated and elevated off the floor, helping to extend the lifespan of your valuable CNC tooling.
