When your business grows, it’s only natural that the items you accumulate grow with you. Are you finding it harder and harder to find or make space in your business? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
Whether you’re looking to make more space in the office or keep those confidential files under lock and key, you’re only limited to what you can think of with a mobile storage shipping container.
Mobile storage shipping containers can be a huge benefit to a business in any industry and this is because of how versatile and reliable a shipping container can be when it is used as storage space!
Let’s go through the 5 ways your business can benefit from using a mobile storage space.
Short-Term Storage
Are you moving or renovating? Or maybe the new distancing guidelines may warrant you needing more space – there are many reasons you might need an extra bit of space for a little while.
When going to the office means following distancing policies, make sure you can accommodate your employees safely and quickly.
That’s where a portable storage container comes in handy!
Save yourself the trouble of hiring a moving crew, trucks, and a storage locker when you can have your personal, portable on-site storage space delivered to you.
When you rent a mobile storage shipping container, all you have to worry about is:
- Room on your property for the container
- At least 14 ft of vertical space
- Packing your items
We’ll take care of the delivery and pick up of your container, so you can focus on what really matters – running your business.
Another benefit of renting a shipping container storage container is having on-site storage space right on your property.
On-Site Access
When we talk about on-site storage, we’re talking about everything from storing documents to keeping your power tools out of harm’s way.
A portable storage container provides a secure and cost-effective way for businesses to store expensive tools, spare office furniture, and archive confidential documents, such as tax records, right on your property.
If you work in an industry that requires fluid amounts of storage space, such as home decorators, realtors, or staging companies, portable storage with on site access could be the perfect solution for you.
You can store furniture or equipment on your property, and it will stay clean and undamaged until you’re ready to use it.
Our containers all come with walls made of 1.5″ steel and ISO certified; they’re fireproof, pest-proof, and waterproof. In short, they’re designed to be the best storage space that can take a beating, all while keeping your items safe.
Renting a portable storage container is like having a vault delivered to your doorstep, and what you do with that space is limitless.
Extra Work Space
What’s that? You’re not looking for more storage space? Well, what about more workspace?
If you’re looking to prepare your office for social distancing, or just need some extra workspace, a mobile storage space is much more cost-effective than extensive and pricey renovations, making it a great option for a safe and secure office space.
A quiet space to work in can be fantastic and can even help improve productivity, especially when working in a crowded office space, or even working from home in a full house.
A little getaway office can be perfect for getting in some uninterrupted work hours.
What kind of work could you do in an outdoor container?
- Isolated office space
- Recording studio
- Workshop
- Art studio
- Maintenance Closet
- Groundskeeping
All of our containers come with hardwood floors and can act as an office workspace. The number of options you have is only limited by your creativity, whether it’s a custom office or a work area away from the main office space that offers some privacy or extra room.
So, if you want to expand your workspace or the services you offer “in-house” (no pun intended), then a storage container could be an inexpensive way to get it done.
Inventory Management
With the holidays passing us by, finding room for extra stock is a real concern, and with a portable storage container, you can make sure all your stock is kept safe, no matter where or how long.
It’s a great way to keep surplus supply under control and offers easy access when you need to replenish stock.
If it doesn’t fit on your shelves or needs to wait to be displayed later, or, if you want to purchase clearance stock in advance at a great price point, but don’t have the room to store it all, portable storage could be the answer for you.
Built like a heavy-duty vault, a portable storage container was designed to keep stock safe and secure while travelling long distances.
While on-site storage is a benefit, if you’re unable or don’t wish to keep your container on your property, we can take it off your hands and keep it at our storage facility.
As long as everything is packed correctly and objects are secured, you can rest easy knowing that your belongings will be secure during their trip.
You’re the only one with a key to your lock, so there’s no chance of anyone accessing your belongings.
Travelling Storage
Having your storage space delivered to you is great, but what about having your storage space travel with you?
Suppose you’re a travelling business and are looking for a secure and dependable way to bring your stock with you.
If you have a flatbed truck that can hold a container, portable storage could be the solution you’re looking for.
Landscapers and construction companies are often working in multiple sites and need storage for equipment and tools.
Not only is portable storage convenient, it will also keep your equipment and tools clean, safe, and secure.
Portable storage offers flexibility for businesses with changing job locations, security from theft, and can save employees and contractors valuable time if they don’t have to drive to a separate location, which is often inconvenient, to pick up equipment or supplies.
We can deliver the container to you and load it onto your truck. From there, you have a mobile inventory!
Our containers come with hoops and hooks for you to tie down large objects with straps for added safety.
