Used Shipping Containers – 3 Great Benefits

Yes, we’re selling used shipping containers for the purpose of shipping and moving cargo. But that doesn’t mean that is where the containers’ purpose ends. Despite what you may think, shipping containers have many uses apart from shipping and moving.

As our world becomes increasingly cluttered, the need for a used shipping container is the all important solution to handle your space and storage needs. Here are three of the top benefits of using used shipping containers, whether you’re customising them into a brand new granny flat for the family, a cubby hole to store your stuff, or a adventure playhouse for your children.

Used shipping containers are exceptionally durable

There are loads of storage options out there, from temporary buildings, tents, sheds and wooden containers, yet none of these have the durability of our containers. Our metal shipping containers are extremely durable and can be transformed into hard wearing, long lasting buildings such as portable houses, mobile offices, and additional retail spaces. Or maybe you need temporary yet reliable storage straight away, Gateway shipping containers are the ideal solution.

Used shipping containers are spacious

Got lots of stuff?  Need more space? Never fear – shipping containers are built to ship large quantities of cargo across the world, meaning that they’ve got heaps of space! They’ve been built to handle heavy loads and carry everything from pallets, to vehicles to loose loads of produce. They can be filled to the brim if you stack your stuff correctly, or we can even build shelves into them to make them more usable. Our shipping containers come in different lengths and sizes from space saving 10 foot containers to massive 40 foot ones, making it easy for you to find the perfect solution for your storage problems.

Used shipping containers are mobile

Shipping containers are built to be moved from one side of the world to the other, be it by forklift, truck, train, helicopter or ship, our containers can be moved to virtually any site in the world. Since they’re portable, it’s easy to stack, ship, move, and use as many units as necessary. Our shipping containers can easily handle all of your storage and space issues, got lots of stuff and some vertical space?  Easy – just stack them on top of each other! Our completely modular storage solutions can give you tonnes of space in an instant, and if you ever need to move just put them on the back of a truck and take them with you – whether it be across town, across the country or overseas.
