Why Modify Containers with Electrical

Porch Light
A great option for focused lighting, porch lighting allows for customers to highlight important points around your storage units including doors and entry ways. A porch light is a great way to illuminate the area around the door(s) for better safety and security.
These systems have the added benefits of:
- Can be connected to a light switch
- They can have a daylight sensor to turn on at dusk and off at dawn
Overhead Lighting
Overhead lighting is one of the most common ways to have electricity installed in a shipping container. We use quality LED lights that are more energy–efficient and provide better lighting than traditional fluorescent lights.
Custom layout options are available and our team would be happy to help you perfectly place your overhead lighting.
Electrical Outlets
These are basically an essential addition to your container; this is what takes storage spaces into workspaces. We can help accommodate a variety of needs from powering equipment to charging your phone.
Our outlet modifications are the same as what’s used in commercial and residential buildings. Outlets can be custom placed and are either 110v or 220v depending on the application needed.
The Critical Piece to Adding Electrical to Your Container
You can’t add any electrical without a load center (the main breaker). We’re not electricians, so this piece is critical to allow whatever electrical you need to be brought into the container by a qualified electrician.
At A American, our standard load center is a 100 AMP main breaker with a grounding bar. We can customize this to go achieve a higher AMP wiring if needed.
