Discover how your business can benefit from storage containers. You might be surprised to learn that the options go way beyond storing products and equipment!
Providing additional storage
All businesses can benefit from additional storage space. Whether you own a shop and need somewhere for extra stock or you want to shelter heavy equipment close to a work site, a storage container will fit the bill.
Their strong, windowless construction means you can be sure of conditions in storage containers. Impervious to weather, there’s no danger of damage from the sun, wind, rain or drastic temperatures. This makes them an ideal solution for long-term storage needs.
Creating temporary space
Storage containers don’t have to be limited to housing stock and equipment. Businesses can investigate the option of storage container hire to create temporary spaces for one-off ventures away from their base location like exhibitions. Using storage containers as pop-up shops at fairs is especially on-trend, and is a cost-effective option for small businesses looking to build their brand.
You can also repurpose storage containers as workplaces if you are between offices or need to create an office at an outdoor event or on a construction site.
Securing valuable items
Do you worry about where to keep high-worth objects important to your business? Trust a storage container to secure valuable items effectively against burglary.
Given that they are constructed out of strong metal, these structures are naturally impenetrable – even if tools such as a hammer or wrench are used. The corrugated metal makes these structures difficult to climb, and bolts and padlocks guard the interior.
You can also choose where you keep your storage container for additional protection: most sites have CCTV, security guards and restricted access through an electronic coded gate.
A flexible solution
While finding a suitable building for your business needs can take months – if not years – there is no shortage of storage containers available to hire. These structures are also portable, so can be set up in a space to suit you whether this is in an open space close to your workplace or at a secure remote location.
Storage containers also come in a variety of shapes and sizes so you can customise the space to your requirements. You can even tailor the interiors to optimise your storage or create a shopping space that’s perfect for your products.
In addition, while commercial property rental rates are sky-high in the current climate following months of high inflation, storage containers are relatively affordable. You also avoid being tied into long lease agreements which can be the nail in the coffin for businesses already struggling with labour and energy costs and consumer cuts to non-essential spending.
