Lydney Containers, manufacturers of steel accommodation, storage units and modular buildings, have already made a big impact with local Doosan dealer, On3. Some of Doosan’s largest trucks are now in action at their extensive Gloucestershire operations.

Having put two 15 tonne trucks into service, the company continued to choose On3  three years later, when their need for further machines became clear. Lydney’s Andrew Burrow, explained why the company needed a tough truck. Said Andrew: “Our products are built to withstand a great deal. Although more familiar as storage units, containers like ours are often fully fitted out as offices, toilet/shower blocks, even canteens. The result is they are sturdy but heavy, occasionally weighing in at up to 8,000kg.”

Lydney Containers have been manufacturing steel anti vandal units since 1986, and has also been producing modular buildings since 2004. The company has always been innovative, in so far as product development is concerned and developed the ‘lock and leave’ door locking system, concealed hinges on doors and a window shutter system operable from the inside. In 1997, the company opened a factory in the north which has recently relocated to an 84,000 sq ft facility in Skelmersdale, where Doosan trucks are also in operation. In 2000, the company expanded further by acquiring the assets of Steelspace in Lydney, thus significantly increasing production capacity in the South West.
