Our Lock-Clamp system provides a secure way to mount the dome directly to shipping containers — without welding or permanent modification.
Purpose-designed clamps secure the dome base rails to the container top rails, while Grade 8.8 high-tensile bolts are used throughout the frame assembly.
● No welding required
● No drilling or cutting into the containers
● Helps preserve the original container finish
● Easy to remove and relocate
The bolt-together design simplifies installation while maintaining a strong, secure connection. If your site requirements change in the future, the dome can be disassembled and relocated rather than being permanently fixed in place.
No-weld doesn't mean lightweight. ToughCover's Lock-Clamp system is designed to provide a secure structural connection without permanently welding the shelter to your containers.
● Heavy-duty galvanised steel frame
● Grade 8.8 high-tensile bolts throughout
● Purpose-designed container mounting clamps
● Engineering available for Australian wind conditions
You get the convenience of a bolt-together system without compromising the heavy-duty construction of the shelter itself.
Australian sites are tough — and often remote.
A no weld container dome shelter means:
● No specialist welder required
● No welding equipment required
● No hot-work associated with welding
● No grinding away the container's protective coating
● Less permanent modification to the shipping containers
● Easier DIY installation
By eliminating welding, Toughcover delivers a safer, faster and more flexible shelter solution — without sacrificing strength or reliability.
Your site may change. Your shelter doesn't have to stay behind.
Because the dome is clamped and bolted rather than permanently welded to the containers, the structure can be disassembled and relocated when required.
● Dome shelter can be dismantled easily
● Containers remain undamaged
● The same dome can be reinstalled at a new location
This makes Toughcover shelters a practical solution for:
● Temporary industrial sites
● Construction yards
● Farms
● Equipment storage
● Seasonal operations
● Expanding or changing work sites
Protect the Container as Well as the Shelter
Welding typically requires grinding or removing protective coatings around the weld area. ToughCover's clamp-mounted system avoids welding directly to the container, helping preserve the container's existing protective finish.
Toughcover's total relocation flexibility means:
● Your containers remain unmodified
● Factory coatings stay intact
● Containers can be reused, relocated or sold later
This approach is ideal for customers who need shipping container asset protection without long-term commitments.
ToughCover container domes are supplied as bolt-together kits designed for straightforward installation.
Depending on shelter size and site conditions, installation typically requires:
● Standard hand and power tools
● Suitable access equipment
● Lifting equipment where required
● A small installation team
● Correctly positioned shipping containers
No welding equipment or specialist welding contractor is required.
