Every construction or civils site comes with the same challenge: keeping tools, equipment, and small plant secure when you’re not around. With theft and loss costing the UK construction industry over £100 million annually, it’s never been more important to protect your gear.


That’s why more contractors, developers and self-employed trades are choosing on-site vaults from Plant Guard — robust, steel-built storage solutions designed for the real world.



Purpose-Built Protection, Right Where You Work


Plant Guard’s secure site vaults are built for demanding environments and high-value assets. Whether you need to store drills, breakers, PPE or surveying gear, our units are designed to:


  • Deter theft with heavy-duty construction and lock systems

  • 🛠Withstand harsh conditions with weatherproof materials

  • Move easily between sites with forklift points, wheels or lifting eyes

  • Keep tools organised with optional internal shelving and racking


You’re not just buying a box — you’re investing in uptime, peace of mind, and ongoing security.


Why On-Site Vaults Make Sense


  • 🏗Fast access to tools during work hours

  • No reliance on off-site storage or trailers

  • Reduced downtime from theft or lost items

  • Insurance-compliant storage for many policies


Our vaults come in a variety of sizes, including towable and stackable options, so you can choose what best suits your site.


Use Cases


  • Groundworkers storing hand tools and hydraulic kits

  • Electrical contractors protecting copper cable and testing gear

  • Joiners safeguarding cordless tools and fixings

  • Site managers creating a shared storage hub for multiple trades


No matter your trade or project size, there’s a Plant Guard vault that fits.


Did You Know?


  • Tool theft has increased by over 30% in recent years, with vans and sites being key targets.

  • Our vaults use anti-jemmy construction — making them extremely difficult to force open.

  • Tools locked in a Plant Guard vault are far more likely to be covered by your insurance policy.


Need something even more bespoke? We also offer custom sizes, branding options, and fleet deals for larger construction firms.
