2. Why Businesses Are Turning To Portable
Storage Containers For Extra Space
Businesses often have problems with space and storage. Leasing space in a
separate building sometimes creates logistical problems that make the option
impractical. Expanding an existing building is often costly and requires years to
complete. Portable storage containers are a popular choice for businesses that
require more space. These containers can be kept on the property or can be
loaded and then stored in another location. Using portable containers has
several benefits over other storage options.
3. Flexible Loading Times
Some storage companies schedule
pickups from businesses in order to
shuttle files, furniture or merchandise
to a centralized warehouse in a truck.
This forces businesses to assemble large
collections of items in inconvenient
areas like a lobby, loading dock or
meeting room. This often has to happen
at the last minute so that the space
remains functional.
4. Flexible Loading Times
A portable container that is placed directly outside of a business in a parking lot or other area can be
loaded gradually when it is convenient. This keeps the building clear from obstructions in key areas. It
also allows different departments or employees to take the time that is necessary to organize the items
being placed into storage.
5. Simple Rotation
Businesses that have a constant stream of files, computers or other items that
must be moved between locations will find that portable storage containers
provide a very convenient solution. A single container can be kept on the
property to receive the merchandise or items that need to be taken to another
location.
6. Simple Rotation
If the container becomes full, then a
storage company can drop off another
container before taking away the filled
unit. This gives businesses constant
access to the storage container so that
there are no work disruptions. This is
useful for e-waste recycling, archival
record storage or for storing product
prototypes.
7. On-Site Storage
A common problem for businesses is the
need to keep files, furniture or merchandise
on the property throughout the year. This is
often because the items are needed at
different points although there is no space to
keep the objects inside of the main building
when not in use. Portable containers allow a
business to have inexpensive storage space
just a few steps away from the main
building.
8. On-Site Storage
The containers are durable, secure and provide a large amount of storage.
Businesses that require additional seasonal storage for incoming inventory items
can use multiple containers instead of leasing an entire second building.
9. Convenience
Portable containers are very convenient for businesses that are undergoing
renovations or relocation. The containers provide a secure way to store items in an
off-site location such as a long-term storage facility. The container will be safe from
damage and other issues. Keeping the container off-site also allows more space for
construction equipment especially if the structure of a building is being demolished
for expansion.
10. Convenience
Businesses that are relocating can keep the container in a neutral location until
the new offices are ready. Alternately, the container can be taken directly to
the new location where it will sit securely until unpacked after the move.
