Are My Items Safe in a Shipping Container?
Discover how secure shipping containers really are. Learn about their durability, locking mechanisms, and best practices to keep your items safe during transport and storage.
Shipping containers were engineered for oceanic transport, to secure valuable items during global trade and keep items safe in dynamic weather. Trusted for decades at sea, the container is also gaining notoriety as a valuable land-based resource for businesses worldwide. From boats to cars, from hay to plumbing fixtures, shipping containers are proving they are a durable, reliable and modular option for onsite storage.
Pros & Why Shipping Containers are Safe
✅ Weatherproof
Containers are designed to withstand harsh conditions and protect against rain. Each container has a seal, ensuring the elements do not get in and your items stay undisturbed.
✅ Durable & Secure
Trailers are easy targets for thefts looking for valuable tools. Containers are made of heavy-duty steel and tough to break into.
✅ Modular
Offsite storage is good, but having onsite storage is ideal. Securely storing tools and resources nearby saves on drive time and gas, while increasing efficiency.
✅ Rodent Proof
Storing valuable agriculture can be challenging in rural areas and farms where rodents are prevalent. Shipping containers are great for managing rodents in a humane manner.
Cons & Potential Risks
⚠️ Temperature Fluctuations
Standard containers can get extremely hot or cold, which may damage some sensitive items. Consider insulating your container when storing valuable items like paintings and antiques. Watch Bendheim Boards to learn more about insulating a shipping container.
⚠️ Condensation & Moisture
If not properly ventilated, humidity can build up, leading to mold or rust over time. It is recommended to use moisture absorbers or ventilation systems if you live in an extremely hot climate and wish to use your container as a workshop or ADU.
Frequently Asked Questions
A portable storage container is a repurposed shipping container designed for a variety of storage needs. Once used solely for oceanic transport of goods and agriculture, containers are now being appreciated for a plethora of various functional and creative purposes. Containers built from heavy-duty, weather-resistant Coren steel are an ideal choice for secure, sustainable and long-term onsite storage.
Unlike traditional self-storage units that require a physical location and a lease, portable storage containers offer the convenience of on-site or flexible offsite placement, providing users with unparalleled convenience and control.
