A common question clients ask when setting up a container dome or fabric shelter is, “Are Allshelter shelters bolted or welded to containers?”
The short answer is: most Allshelter shelters are welded to containers, however, we do offer a twistlock beam option and have a range of shelters that have a bolt on connection.. This evolution in design reflects Allshelter’s commitment to providing safe, efficient, and adaptable shelter solutions for every kind of project.
1. Why Most Allshelter Shelters Use Welding
For many Allshelter models, welding remains the preferred method of connection. Welding provides a strong and secure bond between the shelter frame and the container base, ensuring long-term stability in demanding environments such as mining, construction, and industrial operations.
Welded joints offer:
- Exceptional strength and rigidity for permanent or semi-permanent installations
- High resistance to movement under extreme weather conditions
- A proven track record of durability and structural reliability
Welding is ideal for clients who need permanent or long-term installations where relocation is not a priority.
2. Introducing the New Bolt-On and Twistlock Range
Allshelter is expanding its range to include bolt-on connection systems, designed to make installation easier and faster without compromising strength.
These systems allow shelters to be securely mounted without welding—perfect for sites that require flexibility or frequent relocation.
Key benefits of bolt-on and twistlock systems include:
- No hot works or welding permits required
- Faster setup and dismantling times
- Cleaner and safer installation process
- Simplified relocation and maintenance
This innovative approach gives clients more options whether they need a fixed welded structure or a relocatable bolt-on system.
3. Flexibility for Changing Project Needs
Every project has different requirements, and Allshelter’s new connection systems are designed to accommodate them.
- Welded shelters: Ideal for sites requiring long-term strength and minimal movement.
- Bolt-on/twistlock shelters: Perfect for temporary or mobile operations that demand quick setup, flexibility, and portability especially suited for sites where hotworks or welding are not permitted.
From mining to construction and logistics, Allshelter’s expanding product range ensures the right shelter type for every environment.
4. Built for Australian Conditions
Regardless of connection type, every Allshelter structure is engineered to meet strict Australian Standards and perform under the country’s harshest weather conditions such as extreme winds, heavy rainfall, and strong UV exposure.
