Why Shipping Containers Make the Best Self-Storage Units?
Because of their design, construction and size!
Shipping containers are specifically designed to be stacked, portable, and are constructed from very strong and durable corrugated metal .
They are put through rigorous quality assurance tests for water resistance, vibration and impact so each storage container can withstand moisture, salt and extreme weather conditions.
While this may seem exorbitant, it’s all necessary because their primary use is to transport cargo across the vast and unpredictable oceans. From extravagant luxury cars to everyday household items to electronics, statistics report that almost 90% of the world’s cargo is transported on a ship via shipping containers...
So, why do we use shipping containers as self-storage units?
1. They are durable, tough and waterproof, made of steel.
2. They are movable or portable which is convenient for packing and for mobile storage (if required)
3. They are self-enclosed, which eliminates rodent and bug problems that most storage facilities often have. It also gives you extra security since your container is not connected to other units.
4. They are truly a safe and secure place to store your belongings.
5. They are drive-up, which is becoming less common in our industry. By being able to park at the door of your storage container, you can easily and quickly move your items yourself, especially those awkward or heavy ones, without the need (and cost) of professional movers.
