Description
This Kroftman container shelter with a saddle roof is 6 metres wide and 6 metres long, creating 36 m² of covered space. The ridge height is approximately 4.44 metres including the containers.
The shelter is installed on shipping containers and, in this configuration, is fitted with a full back wall. This helps reduce direct rain and wind entering from one end, providing a more sheltered space for work.
This configuration is commonly used on construction sites and other project locations as a temporary workshop, covered work area or material storage space. The space between the containers can also be used to keep tools and equipment dry, such as a forklift used on site.
This configuration meets the Kroftman Quality Standard, is technically substantiated in accordance with EN 13782 and is supplied with the corresponding safety dossier.
Complete certainty.
Fully taken care of.
All relevant calculations, drawings and declarations immediately at hand.
No separate documents on request, but everything clearly bundled for you, your client, purchaser or insurer.
This also means you have all relevant documentation together for any potential permit process.

Frame and cover
The frame is made of galvanized S355 steel and features main trusses with a diameter of Ø 48 x 1,8 mm. The steel frame comes with a 10-year declining warranty.
S355 steel is used for its strength, durability and resistance to weather conditions.
This configuration is fitted with a green PE cover of 300 g/m². PE is the lighter cover option within the Kroftman range. At 610 g/m², PVC is heavier and stronger and is therefore better suited to applications where the cover is exposed to more intensive or prolonged use.
The PE cover has been tested for, among other things, tensile strength, performance at low temperatures and fire behaviour. The PE cover comes with a 3-year declining warranty.
Fastening and installation
This configuration is attached to the containers using fastening brackets. The brackets are attached to the container edge, so there is no need to drill or weld into the containers.
For the installation, approximately two people and half a working day are required. The actual installation time depends, among other things, on the preparation of the site, weather conditions and the experience of the installation team.
Thanks to the modular construction, the shelter can later be dismantled and, if required, reassembled at another location.
Permits and technical documentation
Whether you need a permit for a shelter depends, among other things, on the location, dimensions and duration of use. Always check which rules apply at your location.
Every Kroftman shelter comes with technical documentation, bundled in the safety dossier. This documentation can be used when a local authority, structural engineer or other party requests technical substantiation, for example when preparing a permit application.

Frequently asked questions
Will a Kroftman shelter fit my containers?
Yes, we offer various mounting options for standard shipping containers, high cube, office containers and open side containers.
We have bundled all mounting options into one clear document. Want more details? Then read our blog as well.
What is the best option to purchase if I don’t have containers yet?
We recommend starting from your desired situation. With our mounting options, you can combine almost endlessly. Combine multiple containers side by side, stacked, placed in a row, combine one container with a side wall, or position the containers with the doors facing inward.
We have created a video with examples of different setups and possibilities.
What options/upgrades are available?
Our shelters are available in 2 standard colors in PE and 3 colors in PVC. Not sure which material to choose? Then watch this video about the differences between PE and PVC.
You can also personalize the shelter with a custom cover, for example with your own logo or branding. For this, watch the video about custom covers.
If you want to fully or partially enclose the shelter, choose a front and/or rear wall. For additional enclosure at the gable end, you can also choose a top wall, depending on the configuration. This further closes off the upper part of the shelter and provides better protection against wind and precipitation.
Want to make sure water stays out of your shelter? Extend the shelter with a gutter. In this video, we explain when this is useful. Already have an existing shelter? Then also check how to apply a gutter afterwards to your current setup.
What is the difference between PE and PVC?
The PVC cover is stronger than PE (polyethylene/HDPE) and is therefore more resistant to weather conditions. PVC also has a longer lifespan.
For long-term projects, we therefore often see customers choosing PVC. This material is more durable, better suited for intensive use and remains in good condition for longer during long-term outdoor use.
We offer a declining warranty of 10 years on PVC. The declining warranty for PE is 3 years.
We explain the differences between the two covers in a short video.
Is the product strong enough for high wind and/or snow loads?
Yes, our shelters are designed to withstand high wind and snow loads. Depending on the model, the maximum snow load ranges between 0.2 and 0.5 kN/m², and the maximum wind load between 0.3 and 0.665 kN/m².
Our shelters comply with the European standard EN13782, meaning they are calculated for combined wind and snow loads for added safety. In the product specifications, you will find the exact maximum values as defined in the official structural calculations. We explain this in detail in this blog.
Is the cover fire-resistant?
Yes, please note: PVC cover is more fire-resistant than PE cover. In terms of fire safety, PVC clearly has the advantage. Although it is unlikely that both PE and PVC will catch fire, for example when using a grinder, PE will continue to burn once it has ignited. PVC, on the other hand, is flame-retardant and self-extinguishing, which provides additional safety.
What does the EN13782 standard mean for my container shelter?
The European standard EN13782 sets requirements for the design and construction of temporary structures, such as container shelters. This standard ensures that the shelter is safe and stable, even under changing weather conditions. It includes material specifications, calculations for wind and snow loads, stability checks and the strength of connections.
Our products are designed and tested according to this standard. This means you are assured of a safe and reliable shelter that complies with European regulations.
Are structural calculations of the products available?
Yes, the structural calculations of the products can be found in the buildbook. This book contains all technical details and calculations required for the safety and stability of the shelters. You can request the buildbook free of charge, both online and in physical form.
What is the frame made of?
The frame is made from S355 structural steel. This European steel grade is commonly used for load-bearing structures and is known for its high strength and reliability.
We choose S355 steel because it provides a strong and durable base for our shelters. The material is well suited for outdoor use and complies with European standards.
What are the payment terms?
For orders with a value below €5,000, we require 100% prepayment. For orders with a higher value, it is possible to pay 50% in advance and the remaining 50% upon delivery. Payment on account is possible subject to a positive credit assessment. For this, we work together with Allianz Trade.
My order has been delivered, how can I check if it is complete?
Use the packing list provided to check the contents of your order upon delivery. Every order is checked by us at two stages: during picking and again before shipment. We check whether the order is complete, take photos, and only release it for shipment after approval.
If you still have any doubts about whether everything is included, feel free to contactus. We’ll be happy to help.
Where can I find the manual?
A separate installation manual is available for each frame and cover. You can find this manual both in the packaging and online, where it can be downloaded per product.
The distance between the containers differs from the dimensions in the drawing. Can I still install the shelter?
That is possible, but please note that the deviation from the dimensions in the drawing can be a maximum of 3 cm. In the manual, you will find the exact dimensions and an explanation of how to measure them accurately.
Can I still install my shelter if my containers are not at the same height?
It is possible to combine containers with a height difference of up to 20 cm with a shelter. The larger the shelter, the more tolerance is allowed for height differences. Make sure to measure or check the internal distance at the top of the containers to ensure they are positioned correctly. Refer to the installation manual for this.
If you are also using front and rear walls, it is important that the dimensions only differ minimally, otherwise the walls may not fit properly. With only a shelter, the tolerance for deviations is greater, but with walls, precision is essential.
What tools are needed to install a shelter on containers?
In addition to a scissor lift and/or scaffolding, you will need basic tools such as a socket set with a few spanners or an impact drill.
Does a shelter with two covers remain waterproof?
Our shelters are supplied in lengths of 6 metres. Is your shelter longer than 6 metres? Then the roof cover consists of multiple sections.
These covers are placed on the frame with an overlap, so they connect properly. This prevents rainwater from easily running between the covers. When installed correctly, the shelter remains waterproof.
How do I install the cover on the frame?
There are two ways to install the cover on the frame. Which method is suitable depends on the size of the shelter.
For smaller shelters of approximately 4 to 8 metres, the cover can be pulled over the frame using ropes. For larger shelters from approximately 10 metres, we recommend rolling up the cover compactly, placing it on the ridge with a crane or aerial work platform, and then unrolling it carefully towards both sides.
This method is safer, easier and less sensitive to wind. Do not install the cover in strong winds and always check the manual for the full instructions.
What should I do with the packaging?
The covers are packed in boxes, while the frames are delivered in steel and wooden crates. Keep the packaging to store or transport the product again later. If you do not reuse it, the packaging can be disposed of.
What’s the best way to maintain my cover?
Regularly check the tension of the ropes, tension straps and wind bracing, especially after periods of strong wind or heavy snowfall. Remove snow in time to prevent overloading.
Also make sure that the flap of the cover is pulled properly over the frame. This prevents wind from getting underneath the shelter. All of this helps extend the lifespan of your cover.
Can I order spare parts if something breaks on my shelter?
Yes, it is possible to order spare parts if something breaks on your shelter. In most cases, damage to the shelter can be repaired by replacing a specific part. We offer these spare parts in sets. You can download an overview of these additional parts per product from our website. Not sure what the right solution is?
Can I reinstall my shelter on a different type of container?
Yes, our shelters are easy to dismantle and reinstall, also on a different type of container, provided that the correct mounting options are used. If you already know in advance that your setup will change frequently, make sure to keep the crates for easy transport of the components.
We have bundled all mounting options into one clear document.
Can I have my company logo printed on the shelter?
Would you like to increase the visibility of your company? Then printing your cover is an excellent option. All shelters can be ordered with a printed cover. You can choose white PVC as the base material. Upon request, you will receive a 3D impression of your design. After order confirmation, we deliver within 4 weeks.
In our 3D configurator, you can configure your shelter and view the options for a printed cover. This gives you a better impression of what your shelter could look like.
Do you have structural calculations available?
Yes, all our standard products are supplied with structural calculations, which are available upon request at no additional cost.
We work with specialized engineers to ensure that all calculations comply with the EN13782 standard. This guarantees broad acceptance in Europe and internationally.
To maintain their legal validity, we only provide these documents in their original German or English version. If needed, you can use these documents as a reference so that a local engineer can prepare a structural calculation that meets the specific requirements of your country.

Do I need a permit for my shelter?
In some cases, a permit is required for a shelter. Whether this is the case depends on various factors, such as the location, how long the shelter will remain in place and what it is used for. Always check with your local municipality for the applicable requirements.
Our shelters are designed according to the European standard EN 13782. To support your permit application, we have already prepared the most important technical documentation for you. We provide the buildbook free of charge, including the construction drawings, technical details and structural calculations. These documents provide insight into the safety and stability of the shelter and can be used for your permit application.
You can request the buildbook free of charge, both digitally and in physical form.
What is the delivery time of the shelter?
Our warehouse in Babberich holds a large stock of shelters, allowing us to process orders quickly. If your order is in stock and payment has been received, we can hand it over to our transport company within two days. This results in a delivery time of approximately one week within the Netherlands and one to two weeks for deliveries to Germany.
