MTU 1 MW Diesel Open Skid Offered In Custom Container Build

Our Florida team was able to take an open skid MTU 1000 kW diesel generator to the next level. Our crew transformed an open-skid generator into a power module housed in a custom container. It took three technicians about 10+ hours each for the installation. This build took five days from start to finish.
 
Housing the generator in the container wasn't easy. This project called for precise measurements. The team also made changes to the container, added all connections, and anchors in place. The generator was a snug fit.
 
Another obstacle was the generator was large and delicate. Technicians had to be careful and precise when moving the heavy generator. They used a massive forklift and rollers to slide it into the container.
 
A container build means the generator can be placed anywhere on ground and it will be shielded from harsh weather and sun damage. Weather protection keeps sensitive parts from outside forces and damage, ultimately increasing reliability and longevity.
 
Though not fully a sound attenuated enclosure, the container does reduce the sound level when the generator is running. To see a sample listing of one of these builds, click here.
 
Story Summary
 
How long does it take to complete a custom container build?
For a 1000 kW MTU diesel generator, the installation process typically takes about five days from start to finish with three techs, but for a single person, the wiring, connecting of fuel lines, electronics and exhaust system takes about a month.
 
What are the main challenges in creating a custom container build?
Key challenges include precise measurements, modifying the container, and carefully maneuvering the large, delicate generator into the confined space. The layout is the biggest part of the process.
 
Can these containers be used for mobile power solutions?
Yes, custom container builds are often designed to be trailer-mounted on a chassis, allowing for mobility and flexibility.
 
What types of applications are these custom builds suitable for?
MTU container build power modules are versatile and can be used for various applications. They can often be found powering construction sites, factories and even entire communities.
