i'm channing mchorston the container guy
in this video we will let you follow
along as a customer made a last-minute
change on this modification to us so
what we thought was going to be a very
simple common modification one that we
didn't want to follow with the film crew
just because it was a man door csm
brackets strut channel install and a
got very difficult there's a lot of back
and forth to the customer and we have a
very short timeline to deliver this
thing now so we are going to have to
come up with some custom frames very
quickly that's going to accept some
intake dampers and three huge exhaust
fans out the back of this can and we
need to do it quickly so follow along as
the sides of the containers both sides
are relatively used up with space this
is going to be an e-house it's a
test container for for something up at a
they are going to be generating a ton of
heat and in the mid summer when it's the
hottest they're concerned about
it overheating in there and potentially
damaging the electrical equipment so
they're looking for 7 500 cfm
exhaust power for this thing to just 100
and sure if it's plus 40 out it'll still
keep all that equipment nice and cool
and in order to do that we're going to
be creating a frame out of our end wall
60 inch window framing kit that's going
to adapt to three 16-inch
exhaust fans that's going to be
up high on the end wall of this
container and then on the door end now
24 by 24 intake dampers and those aren't
just regularly available so what we
ended up having to do is uh buy exhaust
and grates for the outside to shed the
water and we're gonna turn them inside
out so now they're intake dampers and
then again modify some frames to allow
us to install them in these container
doors and in order to do that we're
gonna have to remove door handles or the
lock rods that are near the hinges i'm
thinking we probably could put these on
but if the doors open and close nicely
with just the two center ones maybe
we'll leave them off but yeah so we're
going to get at that right now we're
going to remove all the bolts and remove
these so they're out of our way and get
to work and let you follow along as we
modify our frames figure out a solution
and get her installed for this customer
very quickly i think they want we told
them maybe middle to the end of next
week it's friday today to get this thing
delivered and i think we potentially get
this thing out today so it's gonna be
fun and we're gonna push we're gonna go
so you might have heard me say earlier
on in the video here and i think we
potentially get this thing out today so
it's going to be fun it never works that
that's why we love doing everything in
3d model prior to starting on a lot of
this so we can have all of our frames
laser cut and folded perfectly to fit
the components that are going inside of
this and we can also order the correct
components and so you'll see that here
these look awesome they turned out great
it was amazing what we were able to do
with the material that we had laying
around or what was at least in stock in
our city so we're happy the way it
turned out this is going to function the
way that they need it and the customer
needs this can just to perform what was
supposed to be a one-week test and now
turned into a one-year test but it's
just a test that they're performing and
i think this thing pretty much well i
don't know turn into storage or
something afterwards so let's give you a
final tour of this can and then let's
get it shipped off to our customer and
so here we have the man door that's
installed uh if you notice the
self-closing device is up high on this
door and it's got the locking door lever
panic hardware on the inside and so that
seems to work very well now on this door
we actually struggled quite a bit there
uh we had a faulty slab from the
manufacturer and just things weren't
perfect they weren't nice and straight
we tried everything we could to try to
square this thing off and get it to work
but eventually had to start with the new
slab re-drill all of our holes install
all the hardware all over again and so
that definitely extended the time frame
on us delivering this to the customer
on this side we have our access hatch
the customer is going to be running
cables in or out and they wanted it to
open like an awning and have a nice
ledge for the cables to sit on that
wasn't sharp uh going to either kink or
cut through the cables and so that'll
give them that i'd love to come up with
a bit better of a cable protrusion frame
at some point but whatever this gets
them by for the test that they're going
to perform now let's run to the back end
of this container and show you the t10
sorry the t16 exhaust vent frame so
these are six inches larger than our
exhaust vent something we had to very
quickly come up with because the
customer needed 7 500 cfm of exhaust
this thing's going to be insane i think
every 10 seconds gonna exchange the air
inside of here so that's pretty much
like a paint booth or more so uh too bad
the events are showing up tomorrow we're
not gonna be able to put them in so the
customer's gonna have to do that and uh
but i'd love to jump inside this thing
once they're turned on and just feel the
and so here it is we uh taken our
60 inch end wall window frame header and
our 60 inch end wall window frame footer
and some side frames and cut these down
so that the opening is only about 16 and
a half inches to fit that
exhaust fan and then we've actually also
taken a couple chunks out of another
header and welded them in here and so
that's given us some center columns
three exhaust fans in a single frame and
uh worked out quite well you know it's
we like doing this better than just
welding in angle iron frame uh it sticks
you know the container modification
world framing kits that we love so much
there's a weld list kit uh you're not
burning any paint on this can
because this is a used container i'd be
less concerned about welding something
in and touching up the paint but so i
definitely want to go this route if i
was using a one-time use shipping
so i hope you enjoyed following us along
as we quickly uh modified you know came
up with some solutions to get this
customer a solution that they need
for their customers so if you enjoyed it
