Why choose a shipping container as a storage
container

• Shipping containers do not go out of use as soon
  as the shipping job is complete. The shipping
  container can be repurposed as a storage device.
  Many manufacturers often do this when these
  containers get converted into the average storage
  container rentals. Shipping containers are
  considered excellent storage options because they
  are incredibly reinforced against the elements.
  For example, the average shipping container is
  considered an overly engineered storage device,
  meaning that manufacturers take extra precautions
  to ensure the container is extra strong and able
  to withstand the rough and tumble nature of
  shipping and transportation.
• How strong are shipping storage container
  rentals? Storage containers are considered very
  strong because of how they are manufactured. The
  common storage container is constructed with
  corrugated sides with a thickness measuring
  between 12 to 14 gauges. The container frames are
  made from the same steel with thicknesses
  measuring at a minimum of six to eight gauges.
  The cargo doors are also reinforced and help
  protect the products inside against the elements
  and other unwanted intruders.

• Storage container rentals are also convenient
  when it comes to loading and unloading various
  types of items. For example, the doors of a
  shipping container open wide enough to help load
  very large items like vehicles into the
  container. Some containers can also be used along
  with ramps and other tools to get items inside
  and outside the containers. Those with businesses
  that ship very large items like vehicles may
  benefit from using this type of storage option
  for that reason.
• Average storage container rentals have relatively
  inexpensive costs. The dry storage container,
  which is also the most commonly available for
  rental, costs as much as a few hundred dollars
  per month. Other types of storage container
  rentals, such as insulated containers and
  refrigerated containers, cost more due to their
  more advanced nature. Refrigerated container
  rentals, to provide an example, have a built-in
  cooling system that helps keep sensitive cargo at
  a specific temperature. The size and type of
  storage container desired by a prospective renter
  do influence the overall price spent during the
  entire duration of the rental. In most cases, a
  prospective renter can rent storage containers
  for up to 28 days, though longer rental periods
  can be negotiated with dealers. The versatility
  in choosing how to pursue container rentals makes
  them a suitable choice for companies looking for
  temporary storage options.

What To Consider About Rental and Purchasable
Storage Trailers

• Storage trailers are a special type of storage
  transport that could be used for moving different
  types of cargo from place to place. A number of
  businesses utilize storage trailers to transport
  different types of cargo across the country for
  various reasons. For example, a towing business
  may utilize storage trailers to transport
  different kinds of cars between their operating
  locations. In order to successfully use storage
  trailers, it is important to keep some
  considerations in mind before buying or renting
  storage trailers for a business.

What to consider about storage trailers

• Storage trailers can be used for a number of
  different purposes. However, the type of storage
  trailer used in a job does influence what it
  could be used for. Various factors, such as size,
  play a part in influencing those roles.
• The right size storage trailers help make
  specific jobs much easier, especially if
  transporting a number of large items. Storage
  trailers come in numerous different styles, which
  also play a role in the size of the trailer
  itself. Common types of storage trailers include
  enclosed cargo storage trailers, flatbed storage
  trailers, and utility storage trailers. Before
  selecting storage trailers for a business,
  prospective buyers and renters should ensure
  their options remain within the maximum allowed
  legal size for storage trailers in their
  operating jurisdiction.

• A storage trailer generally needs a vehicle
  attached to its platform to tow it around for
  transport. Naturally, this special requirement
  can influence the type of storage trailer used in
  various business applications. For this reason,
  it is important to select storage trailers that
  are compatible with the existing vehicles used
  for business.
• Another factor influences the type of vehicle
  that can be successfully paired with storage
  trailers. The gross vehicle weight rating is
  basically the maximum possible weight allowed for
  both trailer and vehicle when they are completely
  loaded with cargo, fuel, and any passengers. It
  is important to avoid exceeding the gross vehicle
  weight rating because it is considered unsafe to
  exceed that particular limit. Generally,
  prospective buyers and renters should ensure the
  gross vehicle weight rating for both does not
  exceed the limits pertaining to their local
  jurisdiction.

9

• The type of cargo being hauled by storage
  trailers also plays a role in the selection
  process. Prospective buyers and renters should
  ensure their storage trailer options fulfill the
  requirements of their transportation purposes.
  For example, a much larger storage trailer will
  be required to move multiple smaller storage
  pallets than just using a smaller storage trailer
  for that purpose.
• The most common storage trailers are the closed
  cargo trailer and the open utility trailer. In
  most cases, the cargo trailer is used in the
  transport of vehicles or weather sensitive
  materials and equipment. The open utility trailer
  is used in the transport of construction tools,
  construction materials, or various landscaping
  related purposes.
• Sometimes, the storage location for a storage
  trailer can influence as prospective purchase. A
  prospective buyer or renter of storage trailers
  should make sure they are able to find an
  adequate storage location before considering a
  purchase or a rental.

Behind The Shipping Container Extra Information
To Know

• One of the most common ways to transport large or
  multiple kinds of cargo anywhere in the world is
  by shipping container. The average shipping
  containers are used to house a number of items
  while transporting the entire structure from
  place to place. In most cases, different types of
  shipping containers are utilized for transporting
  different items, allowing businesses to chose
  different shipping containers to suit their cargo
  transport needs. The evolution of the shipping
  container has now led to a better performing
  container during transport, as well as larger
  carrying capacities. For this reason, businesses
  have a number of options to consider if they are
  interested in buying or renting shipping
  containers. There is a wealth of information to
  know about shipping containers before they choose
  to buy or rent.

Shipping Containers What to Know

• Size is an important consideration to keep in
  mind if considering shipping containers for
  business transport purposes. Today, shipping
  containers come in many sizes to serve a number
  of needs for a diverse selection of businesses.
  The most common shipping container sizes include
  the 10-foot shipping container, the 30-foot
  shipping container, and the 40-foot shipping
  container. Shipping containers are also made
  from highly reinforced materials, notably steel
  and electrical components for storage containers
  with refrigeration or insulation systems.
• Most storage containers are made from a variety
  of different materials such as the previously
  mentioned steel and aluminum. Newer storage
  containers use a special kind of material known
  as fiber reinforced polymer, usually combining
  the newer material with the traditional aluminum
  and steel.
• A storage container generally has a
  straightforward appearance. They are best known
  for their corrugated or ripple like walls, which
  are welded to end frames and rails to hold the
  structure together. Most storage containers have
  a closed top roof with doors that have hinges.

12

• The steel container production process is
  straightforward, yet interesting. An average
  storage shipping container starts as several
  large sheets of steel, which are later prepared
  and cleaned before being corrugated to reinforce
  its overall strength.
• The other components like the floor braces and
  the panels for the roof and walls get produced
  separately. Every component is then welded
  together as long with additional square tubing
  that is added to the top part of the walls. Floor
  panels are then put together to form a frame for
  the floor, in addition to the door and corner
  post of the storage container. Following the
  construction of these parts, each component is
  welded to the previously assembled structure,
  forming the basic form of the storage container.
  After the assembly, the storage container gets
  primed and completely painted. Additional post
  assembly takes, including installing wooden
  flooring and door hardware is also completed. The
  outer, inner, and flooring of the shipping
  storage containers are also weatherized for
  protection against the elements.
• The straightforward construction of shipping
  containers leads to a number of containers that
  can be utilized in many business applications.
  For this reason, shipping containers are produced
  in various places around the world to fulfill
  transportation needs everywhere.

Comparing Storage Trailers and Storage Containers

• Storage containers provide a number of options
  for transporting different types of cargo across
  the country. The versatile nature of these
  storage options makes them optimal for easily
  accessing and transporting a number of items in
  various scenarios. However, storage trailers are
  not the only type of storage transport that could
  be used. Widely used storage trailers are
  another option best suited for companies who
  desire to transport goods and performing related
  services with a more stationary type of
  transportable storage. To understand which
  storage option works best for the needs of a
  business, it is important to compare both options
  and find out whether storage trailers suit those
  needs.
• Both storage containers and storage trailers
  serve similar purposes. When examining both types
  of transportable storage, each option has some
  differences. For this reason, any prospective
  buyer or renter of storage containers should take
  some time to explore these options before
  committing to a purchase or rental.

14

• Loading Height
• Storage containers are considered the best option
  for companies who desire to transport goods and
  storing items at a ground level height. When
  offloaded from a vehicle, many storage containers
  sit completely flat on the ground, usually with a
  step measuring about four to eight inches from
  ground to the storage containers floor. From this
  vantage point, it is not difficult to access the
  contents residing inside the container needing
  help from a ladder or ramp.
• Storage trailers work somewhat differently in
  nature, but some similarities are still present.
  To start, the average storage trailers are
  usually not offloaded. These oversize storage
  containers generally sit directly against the
  main structure of the moving trailer while the
  floor of the container remains at a height
  comfortably accessible from the loading dock. For
  this reason, storage trailers are considered the
  best option for companies who need to transport
  goods from loading dock level on a regular basis.
  

15

• Storage Options
• A common way to efficiently store oversized
  containers is stacking them on top of each other.
  The same principle applies to storage containers.
  The average storage containers can be stacked on
  top of each other, particularly if they were
  originally used as a shipping container. Storage
  trailers have a dissimilar design and are more
  solitary in nature than storage containers. They
  are best used separately and sit alone. Storage
  trailers have the unique ability to be moved
  around because they are typically attached to
  vehicle platforms with areas and wheels.
• Maintenance
• Storage containers need little maintenance, other
  than ensuring they remain clean and away from
  moist climates. Storage trailers need a little
  more attention and require maintenance similar to
  a car or larger vehicle. The maintenance usually
  depends on how much the storage trailers are
  being used, as well as the climate and
  environment of the location of the storage
  trailers. In addition, owners of storage trailers
  will require special licensing to rent, own, and
  continuously maintain the movable storage option.
  It is imperative to explore local licensing
  options before considering storage trailers for
  business cargo transport options.

16
What To Consider About Rental and Purchasable
Storage Containers

• The cargo storage container is best known as an
  oversized means of providing additional space for
  various purposes. Storage containers are also
  known as a means to transport different types of
  cargo across the country for various needs. For
  example, many businesses utilize storage
  containers for the safe transport of their goods.
  Other businesses use storage containers as a type
  of stationary storage on either a short term or
  long term basis. Prospective buyers and renters
  of storage containers have many options to
  consider if they are in the market for storage
  containers. Before selecting storage containers
  for various purposes, it is important to take a
  moment to think about what one might need before
  making that purchase.

17
What to consider about storage containers

• Before buying or renting a storage container,
  prospective buyers and renters should consider
  why they need one. Figuring out how long they
  may require the storage container is one
  important factor worth thinking about. For
  example, some businesses might need several
  storage containers for short term business
  purposes. In this instance, it would be best for
  the business to rent the storage containers. On
  the other hand, some businesses might require
  several storage containers for long term storage.
  In this case, the business would be better off
  purchasing the storage container for their needs.
  
• There are also legal considerations to keep in
  mind if considering the purchase or rental of
  storage containers. It is recommended to research
  any laws and regulations regarding the use of
  storage containers that may be active in the
  operating jurisdiction of a business.

18

• Storage containers come in a variety of different
  forms, which affords businesses and individuals a
  considerable amount of choice for their needs.
  The most common type of storage container is
  known as the dry freight storage container. This
  storage container option is commonly
  characterized by its cargo door that is situated
  at one end. The 20 feet storage container is the
  best-known size in circulation today, while the
  40 feet storage container is a popular larger
  option. Besides the dry freight storage
  container, the insulated storage container and
  refrigerated storage container are other choices
  for customers who require special transportation
  for their cargo.
• The duration of the use of a storage container
  influences whether a customer chooses to rent or
  buy. Renters of storage containers, for example,
  need to consider the rates for renting out
  storage containers for their needs. Generally,
  renting storage containers is best for short term
  storage and transportation business applications.
  Those who desire to keep several storage
  containers on their premises will be directed to
  make an outright purchase.
• Any prospective buyer or renter of storage
  containers also need to make sure they have
  enough space to host each container they plan to
  use. Besides legal requirements, prospective
  buyers or renters should ensure they have enough
  space to house the number of containers they plan
  to buy for safety reasons. The amount of space
  needed to house storage containers generally
  exceeds the size of each container and
  essentially ensures that the containers have
  enough space to be moved around.

Behind The Shipping Container A Brief Guide

• The shipping container is a device that has
  gained considerable popularity over the years.
  Primarily used as a way to transport goods around
  the world, the use of shipping containers has
  evolved to include transforming the storage
  devices into permanent storage and even temporary
  buildings. Businesses have many options when it
  comes to storage container rentals, especially
  since these storage devices have many noted uses.
  When planning storage container rentals or
  purchases, prospective patrons always take some
  time to learn more about the product they plan to
  buy. If the buyer or renter learns more about
  what storage container rentals they desire, they
  can quickly figure out how to use the storage
  device for their various purposes.

20
What is the storage container?

• The storage container is generally a type of
  oversized storage device that is used for the
  transport of various goods. They are also known
  as repurposed shipping containers or refurbished
  shipping containers. Many storage container
  rentals come in a variety of different sizes, the
  most common being the 20 foot and 40-foot storage
  container. Both the 20 foot and 40-foot shipping
  storage container usually measure about 8 feet
  high and about 9 feet in width, along with their
  respective lengths. Many manufacturers of storage
  containers produce devices in a wide range of
  custom shapes and sizes. Most storage containers
  are used for the purpose of housing goods during
  shipping across the country or by sea. In recent
  times, storage containers have also been
  repurposed for stationary storage or turned into
  extra office space.

21
The uses of storage containers

• Storage container rentals have many uses and some
  of these uses are considered relatively unique.
  When considering a storage container rental,
  those planning to make the rental should
  understand the intended use for the storage
  device before making a concrete decision.
• For example, the most common use of storage
  container rentals is utilizing the devices when
  transporting cargo around the world. Various
  types of products are needed in the world's most
  active industries, which means these businesses
  often need reinforced transportation options for
  their goods. The basic structure of a shipping
  container is resilient enough to help transport
  different types of products anywhere they are
  needed. This is why storage containers maintain
  considerable popularity.
• A storage container can also be converted into a
  type of building, such as a mobile office.
  Storage container rentals are well suited for a
  mobile office set up because these transportable
  dwellings are usually temporary. Many businesses
  tend to use their mobile offices for as little as
  a few months to about two years. Since container
  rentals are suggested for temporary arrangements,
  choosing a rental might be the best option for
  businesses needing a temporary dwelling for
  office purposes.

22

• A more permanent option for container rentals is
  a modular building, a type of semi-permanent
  dwelling used as housing for businesses and other
  organizations. A storage container can be
  converted into this type of building since it
  provides an immediate foundation for creating the
  dwelling. Those who desire this type of housing
  option for business purposes might be suited for
  converting a container rental into a modular
  building for some time.
