Armoury containers
A weapon store is a security cage first and a container second. Tanax has engineered one from a written specification before; this page is the build.
The cage
A full internal steel security cage on the walls, the ceiling and the inner door, hot-dip galvanised and anchored to its own substructure, not to the container skin. Cutting through the wall meets the cage.
The envelope
A1 insulation, climate control for the stored material and an alarm. The outer door is a steel door; the inner door is caged.
One room from several modules
Modules couple into one room along their length, so a store grows with the inventory without a second door to guard.
Beside the hazmat container
For pyrotechnic and EOD material, flammable and hazardous chemicals, the fire-rated hazardous materials storage container is the companion product: a 90-minute fire-rated module selected in a 2026 public tender.

Questions procurement asks
Has Tanax built an armoury container?
Tanax has engineered weapon storage modules from a written specification for a defence integrator (the weapon storage module case study). The armoury container on this page is that engineering as a product.
Can it be shielded or armoured too?
Yes. The cage is independent of the shell; the shell can carry the shield or the armour of the other pages.
Send the requirement. The shelter is engineered to it and measured against it.
Frequency range and attenuation, TEMPEST level and zone, protection level, climate and carrier: name them and the engineering starts. The specification sheet comes with the reply.

- Military CommandSpecial-purpose shelters to NATO standards, built by a defence manufacturer that also builds and services military trucks.
- EMC and EMP shieldingA shielded shelter is only as good as its weakest aperture. The chain below is read the way a programme engineer reads it: the enclosure, every aperture, the point of entry, the grounding, and the measurement that proves it.
- TEMPESTTEMPEST is the discipline of keeping an emission inside. The shelter contributes the shielded volume, the separation and the filtered services; the level and the accreditation belong to the programme and its national security authority.
- CBRN collective protectionCollective protection keeps the inside clean while the outside is not: a filtered overpressure, an airlock to pass through and seals that hold.
- Ballistic and blastArmour is a level the customer names and a laboratory verifies. Tanax brings the armoured truck cab work: the panels, the liners and the doors that take a round or a blast.
- Mobility and transportA shelter that cannot move is a building. Every Tanax shelter carries ISO 1496 corners and moves by truck, hooklift, rail or sling; air-transportable sizes and expandable shelters are engineered on request.
- Environment and signatureThe shelter is engineered for the climate it is sent to and for how little of it should be seen: in daylight, in infrared and at night.
