Containers are used today as workshops, storage units, technical rooms and temporary workspaces. Many of these applications require easy access to power for tools, machinery, lighting and other electrical equipment.
A traditional electrical installation may require careful planning and permanent modifications to the container. A magnetic electrical distribution board provides a flexible alternative that can be mounted directly onto the container’s steel structure – without drilling, screwing or welding.
Magnetic mounting without permanent modifications
The electrical distribution board is mounted on a robust plate equipped with four powerful pot magnets. It can therefore be attached directly to a suitable steel surface and repositioned whenever the workspace or requirements change.
This is particularly useful for temporary projects, rental containers or containers that may later be used for another purpose. No permanent mounting holes are required, and the distribution board can be reused in different locations.
The main benefits include:
- Quick installation without drilling or welding
- Movable and reusable solution
- No permanent modifications to the container
- Suitable for containers and other steel structures
Outlets for tools and electrical equipment
The magnetic electrical distribution boards are equipped with:
- 4 × 230 V sockets
- 2 × 16 A CEE outlets
- Robust mounting plate with four powerful magnets
This allows you to connect standard power tools, lighting and other equipment that uses CEE outlets.
For indoor or outdoor use
Specialcontainer offers magnetic electrical distribution boards for both indoor and outdoor use.
The indoor model is suitable for distributing power inside a workshop container, storage container or temporary workspace. The set also includes a 1.5-metre cable with a 16 A CEE plug and a separate CEE inlet for external wall mounting.
The outdoor model can be used on the outside of a container or on other suitable steel structures where easy access to power is needed.
The right choice therefore depends on where the distribution board will be installed and how the power supply will be used in the specific project.
A flexible solution for changing workspaces
On construction sites, during service assignments and in temporary installations, the layout often changes as the project develops. Equipment is moved, containers are assigned new functions, and power outlets may be needed in different locations.
The magnetic mounting system makes it easy to reposition the distribution board without tools. The solution can therefore adapt to the project and be reused when the container or workspace changes.
Ensure correct electrical connection
The magnetic mounting system makes it easy to position and move the distribution board. However, all electrical connections must be completed correctly and in accordance with applicable regulations.
With the indoor model, the external inlet and cable are supplied separately. The cable and the CEE inlet intended for external wall mounting should be connected by an authorised electrician.

Q&A
How is the magnetic electrical distribution board installed?
It is mounted directly onto a suitable steel surface using four powerful pot magnets. No drilling or welding is required.
Can the distribution board be moved to another container?
Yes. The magnetic mounting system allows the board to be removed and reused on another suitable steel structure.
What is the difference between the indoor and outdoor models?
The models are designed for different locations. The indoor solution also includes a cable and a separate CEE inlet intended for external wall mounting. Electrical assembly and connection should be carried out by an authorised electrician.
