A simpler way to make your container more usable from day one
A standard container gives you secure space, but it does not give you the power needed for lighting, tools, equipment, or daily work. If your container needs to function as more than basic storage, a shipping container electrical package helps turn it into a more practical, ready-to-use solution.

Common questions about shipping container electrical packages
What is included in the electrical package?
Most packages include lights, outlets, a small breaker panel, and an external infeed connection in one practical setup. Larger packages include heaters. Custom industrial systems are available on a project basis.
Is the package code-compliant?
Yes. ContainerWest basic electrical packages are built to meet Canadian Electrical Code requirements and come with a CSA sticker on the panel.
How many lights are included?
Generally, ContainerWest includes 2 vapour-proof LED ceiling lights for a 20′ container and 4 for a 40′ container.
Is the wiring protected for tougher environments?
Yes. Surface mount wiring is installed in EMT metal tubing for durability, and in-wall wiring is available for containers with a liner package.
How does the container connect to the site's power?
The basic packages use an external Trailer Box mounted outside the container for practical site hookup.
Can this be quoted quickly?
Yes. Because the components are stocked for quick installation, the goal is to make the quoting process easy to navigate and move through quickly. For custom industrial systems, it may take a few days longer to get pricing from our suppliers for specific components.
