Top 5 recommended uses for storage container units.

There’s simply no end to the multitude of uses for shipping containers! It goes without saying that one of our favourite ways to use containers is for secure and convenient storage. Read on to learn our top 5 recommended uses for storage container units.

Moving house is something that fills most people with a sense of dread and overwhelm Let’s be honest – it’s a massive undertaking that often involves:

  • Stress | as you think about all the things that need to be packed up, and having to wrap, package, and sort through literally everything in your house.
  • Not Enough Time | moving house usually takes place over a weekend or just a few days, leaving you in a rush to get everything done.  
  • Multiple Trips | to move all of your belongings and furniture typically involves going back and forth between houses – especially if you’re moving within the local area.

Using a shipping container storage unit is a fantastic way to ease the ordeal of moving house. Here’s why:

  • More Time to Pack | you can have your storage container delivered on-site to your home weeks to months before you need to move, which means you can enjoy packing up in your own time. 
  • Convenience | the only trip required is the one to deliver the loaded storage container to your new address – easy!
  • Affordable | hiring a container is extremely affordable, with a daily rate starting from just $3 (including GST).

You can put practically anything in a storage unit, including:

  • Clothing, shoes & books
  • Household furniture
  • Kitchen appliances
  • Tools, equipment & machinery
  • Outdoor furniture; and
  • Boats, trailers, caravans & vehicles

Hire or Buy a Shipping Container

Office Relocations

Managing an office relocation, while seeing to business as usual, can be a tricky undertaking. Fortunately, with a storage container unit, you have the opportunity to: 

  • Save money on removalist fees
  • Pack in your own time (if you have on-site space to store the container); and
  • Get the entire move done in one trip

Office Storage

If your office is small and cluttered, now could be a good time to declutter and clear some space! A storage unit is an easy, safe place to store a range of items, such as:

  • Excess furniture that’s not being used
  • Equipment & machinery 
  • Hardcopy documents that can’t be disposed of; and
  • Even the entire contents of the office if you are in-between locations!

Are you experiencing any of the following scenarios with your equipment and machinery?

  • Not enough space to easily store it on-site at home or work
  • Your present storage location is not protected from weather; or
  • It will be out of action for a period of time while you’re away

If you are, then a storage container unit could be an ideal solution – you can choose to:

  • Hire or buy a container for on-site storage

You can also enjoy convenient towing services for pick up and delivery of your storage unit to load and unload your property.

With high value investments such as boats, caravans, trailers and vehicles – a top priority is to get the optimal use and lifespan from them. This involves: 

  • Regular checks and services
  • Care and maintenance to avoid the build-up of rust; and
  • Keeping them in weather-protected storage

When it comes to your vehicles, ask yourself these questions:

  • Do I have enough space to store them on-site?
  • Are they going long periods without use? 
  • Is my storage doing a good job of protecting them from the elements? 

If you answered ‘no’ to any of these questions, now could be a good time to take action and arrange a suitable storage option that will ensure the greatest health and longevity for your vehicles. A shipping container is a spacious, secure, and highly weather-protected storage unit. You can hire or buy a container to store on-site.
