Armorgard FAQs
What types of products does the Armorgard range cover?
Armorgard specialise in secure site storage — tool vaults, chests, cutting stations, van vaults and COSHH/chemical cabinets. Alongside our tanks, we stock these for trades needing robust, weatherproof storage for tools, fuel or hazardous substances on site. All units are built from heavy-gauge steel with secure locking systems suited to construction and yard environments.
Are Armorgard COSHH cabinets suitable for storing chemicals used alongside sewage treatment plants or tanks?
Yes — Armorgard COSHH cabinets are designed to safely store flammable liquids, oils and chemicals, including those used for treatment plant dosing or tank maintenance. They feature sump bases to contain spills and ventilation to reduce fume build-up, helping you meet COSHH regulations on site. Always check the cabinet's capacity rating against the volume and classification of the substances you're storing.
How secure are Armorgard tool vaults and site boxes against theft?
Armorgard units are built from thick steel with welded seams, hidden hinges and multi-point locking systems specifically to resist forced entry and angle-grinder attacks. Many models carry Secured by Design or insurance-recognised accreditation, which can help reduce site insurance premiums. They're a sensible investment if you're storing pumps, fittings or tank accessories on an exposed site compound.
Can Armorgard units be left outdoors permanently on a construction or yard site?
Yes, Armorgard products are designed for permanent outdoor use, with weatherproof seals and powder-coated or galvanised steel finishes to resist corrosion. That said, siting units on level, well-drained ground and away from standing water will extend their working life considerably. For long-term yard storage near tanks or treatment plants, this durability makes them a practical match.
What size Armorgard storage unit do I need for a typical installation team?
This depends on what you're storing — a small tool vault suits hand tools and fixings, while larger van vaults or site boxes accommodate pumps, pipework and fittings needed for a full tank or treatment plant install. Measure your bulkiest equipment first and check internal dimensions rather than external footprint, as wall thickness varies between models. If you're regularly transporting kit between sites, a wheeled or forklift-liftable unit is worth considering.
Do Armorgard products require any assembly, and what's the typical delivery lead time?
Most Armorgard units arrive part-assembled, with only feet, locks or castors needing to be fitted on-site — full instructions are included. Delivery is typically on a palletised kerbside service, so you'll need suitable access and manpower or lifting equipment for the heavier cabinets and vaults. Larger or made-to-order items may carry longer lead times, so it's worth confirming stock availability before your install date.
