A portable storage rental is an effective way to take care of temporary storage needs at a reasonable price. Shipping containers make great portable storage rental options due to their portability, storage security, and easy setup. Keep reading if you would like to learn more about the ways that shipping containers make great portable storage units.

Perfect for Multi-Location Use

If you're trying to determine if a shipping container is the right portable storage rental for your needs, there are a few things to consider. If you need to move the container from one place to another, say from a finished construction site to a new project, this is an ideal option. Sheds and other outbuildings are really only practical if you only need storage space in one location. For companies that have future storage needs that may be at a different location, this is the best option.

Bolt-on Lock Boxes Provide Security

According to Maritime Professionals, Malcolm McLean made the first shipping container in 1956. Shipping containers have greatly evolved ever since, now providing a higher level of security than older designs. With the updated bolt-on lock boxes that newer shipping containers have, security is a breeze. Once you have all of your items safely put inside, you can rest assured that the bolt-on lock boxes will provide the security you need. For further protection of your stored items, you can purchase a container with a ventilation unit inside. This way, condensation can be kept from building up and causing damage to stored materials.

Easy Setup

Unlike barns and sheds, there's no construction needed when it comes to shipping containers. You simply have them delivered to your site and they are ready to use the moment they're on your property. There's no real setup to be done as far as assembly goes. However, do be aware that depending on the type of delivery truck that's used, a crane or a forklift is used to unload and place your container. You'll also want to get a few quotes on rental fees to ensure that your rental agreement reflects a fair and reasonable price.
