Technical containers

Technology, protected by steel. Although we and our customers call them "containers", our modules have long been the equivalent of highly complex machine rooms or technical buildings. Gföllner technology containers offer high-precision, modular rooms for sophisticated technology solutions - flexible, safe and usable worldwide.

What makes a technical container special?

Maximum function, minimum effort: Integrating complex technical systems, protecting them and making them mobile - that's what we mean by "technical containers. We pack your critical infrastructure into precise modules.

Every container we build bears the seal of quality: Made by Gföllner.

Our technical containers at a glance:

Dimensions: Single containers up to 6 m wide, 25 m long, 4.5 m high
Loads: up to 100 tons, statically optimized for heavy installations
Developed for extreme conditions: Heat, cold, vibration, sea air, dust exposure
EMV/fire protection/EX versions according to standard
Liftable, mobile - can be used worldwide

We plan every system with a view to load, room design, ease of installation and maintenance. We focus on individual designs and durable quality.

Industries & applications
Technical containers

Energy industry

E-House solutions, transformers and switchgear in a technical container - modular, weather-protected and immediately ready for operation.

Data center & IT infrastructure

Containerized data centers and server rooms - scalable, mobile and highly available.

Industry & plant construction

Modular container construction for control, power supply and system technology - perfectly integrated into your processes.

Defense & Authorities

Technical containers and shelters for operations management, communication or medical care - safe, mobile, robust.

Mining & commodities

Technical containers for extreme environments - protected, transportable and durable.

Oil, gas & hydrogen

Whether natural gas, crude oil or hydrogen: Gföllner technical containers protect sensitive systems under the most demanding conditions.

Special container

Special containers for individual applications - tailor-made for your technical challenge.

Advantages of technical containers

Plug & play thanks to intelligent prefabrication

Thanks to the parallel floor and roof construction, electrical, control and air conditioning technology can be integrated at the same time. This saves time, minimizes interfaces and shortens commissioning by up to 70 %.

Robust construction for maximum lifetime

Statically optimized, weatherproof and resistant to heat, cold, dust and vibration - for decades of trouble-free operation even under extreme conditions.

Flexible designed - individually scalable

Size, shape, combination and dismantling: our containers adapt to the technology, environment and standards - tailor-made for every requirement.

Tested quality & standard safety

Production in accordance with EN, ISO, CE - with EMC, fire or EX protection and international certifications on request. For maximum safety and approval worldwide.

All from a single source

From the first sketch to the final commissioning, we accompany your project with experience, technical precision and responsibility

Planning & consulting

We analyze technical requirements, clarify standard specifications and develop a viable overall concept - functional, on schedule and realistically implementable.

Construction & Engineering

Statics, 3D CAD, EMC, HVAC and cable planning are designed as a cohesive system - for precise functionality without technical conflicts.

Steel & sheet metal production

Frames, panels and structural elements are welded, milled and pre-assembled in our own factory - tested in accordance with EN 1090, EXC3 and ISO 3834.

Surface protection & fire protection solutions

Fire galvanization, high-quality paint finish (C3-C5M) and fire protection-tested superstructures up to REI 120 - tailored to climatic and safety requirements.

Electrical engineering & integration in the house

From the control cabinet to the air conditioning system: we install and test all electrical systems in the building. This is how we ensure that all trades work together precisely - coordinated, pre-wired and tested.

Turnkey testing & acceptance

Every technical container undergoes a full functional test (FAT) at the factory - documented, safe and ready for use.

Loading & transportation

Gföllner organizes safe loading, coordinates transport and provides support with installation, commissioning or training on request - worldwide.

Services

For the Technical containers area of expertise

Statics & Construction

We dimension load-bearing structures precisely according to your load cases - static, dynamic, seismic or vibration-optimized.

Highlights:

Design for point loads from heavy machinery (e.g., transformers, switch panels, HVAC)
Static reserves for later retrofitting or module coupling
Special foundations for high-load or isolated floor connections
Container structure designed for variable loads: up to 100 tons payload

Engineering & System Design

Our developers think in terms of systems – from the initial CAD design to end-to-end production integration.

Integrated functions:

3D-CAD-supported design with collision detection
Detailed cable floor planning: heights from 100 mm to 1,000 mm
Structured cable routing with EMC-optimized feedthroughs
Air routing, room accessibility, device logistics and service routes considered from the outset
Modularization with removable hoods, walls or roofs - for parallel equipment and fast final assembly

Electrical engineering & Control

We plan and implement complete electrotechnical infrastructures directly in the container - from distribution to system integration.

Focus areas:

NS distributions, UPS systems, circuit breakers, control technology
Factory-tested complete systems with switchgear, field distributions and EMC protection
Comprehensive cabling concepts - tailored to maintenance, redundancy and connectivity
Cable routing via raised floors, side ducts or intermediate levels
Technical documentation in accordance with IEC standards

HVAC - Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Technology

We develop HVAC solutions that work efficiently and reliably even under extreme conditions - whether in industrial, maritime or potentially explosive areas.

Special features:

Flexible device selection: Roof, wall or indoor units in compact or split design - tailored to room usage and thermal load
Powerful & efficient: Cooling capacities from 3 to 135 kW - optionally with freecooling
Refrigerant: Use for high-temperature applications and reduced GWP
Heavy duty environments: HVAC concepts also for hazardous areas, maritime environments and use in tropical, desert or arctic climate zones Desert environments or tropical and extremely cold climates
Intelligent system integration: filter technology, pressurization system and heat recovery
Quick commissioning: Pre-assembled systems, plug & play ex works, incl. control & electrical wiring

Steel construction & welding technology

Our load-bearing backbone - literally. From the base frame to the outer structure, we rely on tested steel constructions in a high-precision design.

Technical key points:
