- What are portable steel shipping containers?
Portable steel shipping containers are sturdy, metal units designed to securely store and transport goods, especially across long distances like trans-oceanic shipping routes. They are built to withstand extreme conditions and protect valuable trade goods from damage and loss.
- How do these containers differ from traditional storage options like sheds or garages?
Unlike traditional storage options, our steel shipping containers feature watertight door gaskets that make them highly resistant to moisture penetration, vermin infestation, rot, decay, and excess humidity. This ensures that your goods remain dry, secure, and undamaged, even in harsh shipping environments.
- What sizes are available for these portable steel containers?
Our portable steel containers come in various sizes to suit different storage needs. Specifically, we offer 20 and 40 foot options.
- Are these containers suitable for international shipping?
Absolutely. Our steel shipping containers are specifically designed to withstand the rigors of trans-oceanic shipping. Their durable construction and watertight features make them ideal for protecting goods during long journeys across the sea.
- Can these containers be customized to meet specific storage requirements?
Please talk to our staff about potential customization options such as partitions, ventilation systems and shelves for your containers.
- Are these containers easy to transport?
Yes, one of the primary advantages of our portable steel containers is their ease of transportation. They are equipped with forklift pockets and sturdy corner castings, allowing them to be easily loaded onto trucks, ships, or trains for transportation to any desired location.
- How long do these containers typically last?
Our steel shipping containers are built to last, even under harsh conditions. With proper maintenance and care, they can provide reliable storage solutions for many years, making them a cost-effective investment for businesses and individuals alike.
- Are there any environmental benefits to using steel shipping containers?
Yes, repurposing used steel shipping containers for storage helps reduce the demand for new construction materials, contributing to sustainability efforts. Additionally, the durability of steel ensures that these containers have a long lifespan, further minimizing environmental impact compared to disposable storage solutions.
- Should I Buy or Lease a Steel Shipping Container?
The decision to buy or lease a steel shipping container depends on your specific needs. Purchasing a container is ideal if you require long-term storage or frequent transportation and wish to have complete ownership. Leasing, on the other hand, offers more flexibility if your needs are short-term or if you prefer not to commit capital upfront. Leasing is also a great option for businesses requiring seasonal storage solutions or those anticipating changes in storage needs.
- What Are the Advantages of Leasing Over Renting a Container?
Leasing—a longer-term commitment compared to renting—often includes more favorable pricing and flexible upgrade options. This can be beneficial for businesses looking for consistent storage solutions without the responsibilities of ownership. Leasing agreements are generally customized to fit the duration and specific needs of your business, ensuring you get the most out of your container use.
- Can I Upgrade from Leasing to Owning a Container?
Yes, many of our leasing agreements include options to purchase the container at the end or during the lease term. This flexibility allows you to initially lease the container to evaluate its suitability for your needs before committing to full ownership.
- How Does Maintenance Work for Leased Containers?
Typically, maintenance responsibilities for leased containers vary based on the lease agreement. However, we often handle routine maintenance to ensure the container remains in good condition, so you can focus on storing and transporting your goods without concern for upkeep. Be sure to discuss maintenance terms with our staff when setting up your lease.
