Container

When you hire shipping containers, you can put them to use in a whole range of ways. Shipping containers are those big metal boxes that are used to transport goods all around the world via ship, rail or road. They have completely changed the world economy and the way we live as we know have access to many more imported items than was possible before.

There is however an environmental impact attached to the containers as unused units have begun to stockpile on docks around the world. Happily, it turns out that those containers can be used in a number of creative ways after they have served their original purpose. As a result you can now rent shipping containers that can be used in different ways at home or in your business. And at the same time, reusing the containers lowers the environmental impact of the global shipping industry.

Why You Should Hire Shipping Containers

Once the containers have outlived their usefulness for shipping, they are often put to use as hire shipping containers:

  • Storage
  • Emergency housing
  • Retail space
  • Office space
  • Classrooms

In fact, these days with increased environmental awareness, more and more people are finding creative ways to modify them and use shipping containers.

Storage:

Most commonly rental containers are used as storage on a premises or property. These can be used as is, or can be modified to meet other needs more closely.

Conversions & Modifications:

This means that not only can you find hire shipping containers as is, but you can find modified to hire shipping containers for specialised purposes. There are now some hire units that have been converted for use as portable bathrooms, classrooms, offices and much more.

Office & Retail Space:

Hired shipping containers can provide you with an instant office space or retail space and they can be easily remodelled to meet your business needs.

It is increasingly important to re-use materials to protect the environment. Rented containers create a win-win situation for both the renter and the environment.  Contact Gateway Container Sales & Hire now to discuss why it just makes sense to rent a shipping container.
