Waterproof Storage Container

These Waterproof Storage Containers Have More Uses than Transporting Cargo – They Can Also Solve Your Security and Storage Problems!

Waterproof storage containers are very much in demand around the world. Varying in size from 20 feet by 8 feet and usually about the same (8 feet) in height, used shipping or sea containers, also called ‘connex’ or simply containers, are the preferred solution for many. Used by expeditions, construction companies, mining outfits and even Mom and Pop businesses, these containers are not only waterproof but, built from steel and designed to survive the rigours of ocean travel, they are strong and secure, too.

They can be fitted out with plastic pallet flooring to aid in keeping the items stored inside both dry and easily removed. As well, container bins and storage bins are easily moved in and out of the large double doors. These fully lockable doors open a full 270 degrees making the unit the ideal industrial storage container.

Additional waterproofing can be gained by simply covering the top of the container with CGI, Perspex or other impervious sheeting materials. Even a poly or canvas tarpaulin can be used to maintain the waterproof integrity of the container and safeguard the goods inside from water ingress and damage.

The interior waterproofing of the container can be enhanced by sealing the seams with industrial products or simply by storing the contents in plastic, sealed drums or tubs rather than cardboard boxes or untreated timber chests.

Outdoor Storage Container

These outdoor Storage Containers Are More Than A Way To Transport Cargo – They Can Also Solve Your Security and Storage Problems!

Do you need to store large, bulky items outdoors and know they are safe and secure at all times and in all weather? Have you ever considered buying or renting a used shipping container? You know, those large steel containers they use to transport cargo around the world.

Shipping containers, also called sea containers, connex or simply containers, are often the perfect solution for your outdoor storage needs. They readily convert to an outdoor storage shed and have the added bonus of being portable. First of all they come in different sizes although the two most common are the twenty footer and the forty footer. Both are 8 feet wide and most are 8 feet high, although there are higher and lower units available. The 40 footer makes an ideal large outdoor storage shed.

In some places these containers are cleverly converted to office and residential accommodation or form the basis of an easily transported and relocated fully contained dwelling.

As an outdoor storage container they can’t be beaten. They can be placed on stumps to keep them off the ground and also wired to include lighting and heating, the ultimate guy’s shed! With 1280 cubic feet of storage in the 20 footer and double that in the larger unit, providing you have the place to put it, a shipping container can be the perfect outdoor storage container solution.

Sea Containers For Sale

Sea Containers are sold through brokers or dealers as well as auction houses and a shipping company’s own procedures for rotating their container inventory. The sale of used sea containers is big business around the world but like any commodity there are times when they are cheaper and other times when the price goes too high for most buyers to contemplate.

The reasons for this fluctuation is the same reason for the fluctuation in price of anything sold on the open market. Market forces. Supply and Demand. If you notice more signs saying ‘Sea Containers for Sale’ or ‘used sea containers for sale’ on the web or on the fence at a storage container yard, then demand is low and so will be the price. If there are no signs about and thus fewer items available for sale, then the price naturally will rise.

When the yards are full of unused sea containers and trade is slow due to other economic factors, then the price of these units drops. Transporting and relocating sea containers usually costs the same regardless of supply and demand however in times of over supply you can sometimes negotiate free delivery at time of purchase. Worth asking anyway!

Steel Storage Containers

admin — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 06:59:21 +0000

The great thing about a used steel storage container is it is strong, secure and made from high quality steel. They are also portable, providing you have a truck with a crane. The not so positive factor is that steel rusts.

Exposure to salt laden sea air accelerates the natural process of rusting that all metal storage containers will be subject to during their ‘life’. Storage containers, also called cargo shipping containers or conex’s, spend a great deal of their lives exposed to the elements on board container ships and in port side yards.

They enjoy the protection of paint but that gets rubbed off very early on in the container’s life simply by the process of moving it from A to B, which is what it is there for. Loading and unloading cargo, getting it on and off ships, trucks and railcars and even just sitting still with other containers being stacked on top and either side can cause damage.

Damage leads to exposure of the bare metal and that leads to rust. So check out the contact points top and bottom as well as the corners, doors and areas most likely to have made contact with other objects in transit.

Some rust isn’t a problem as there are many rust treatments and rust prevention products available. If the container is being used for storage rather than withstanding the rigours of an ocean voyage, you can accept a little more wear and tear than would be wise for cargo transport use of the container.

Think About These Points When Considering Your Purchase

Buying a shipping container, used storage container, connex or simply a ‘container’, is a fairly straightforward process. There are literally thousands of ads offering ‘storage shipping containers for sale’, ‘mobile storage containers for sale’ and ‘portable storage containers for sale’ and they are all selling the same thing! It can be confusing but they aren’t talking about food containers or plastic storage boxes but steel shipping containers.

All you need do is decide what you want and how much you wish to pay for one, find one on the web by clicking on an ad or two and checking details, then buy it.

Don’t worry about how you are going to get it from the container seller to where you wish to place it. They do this every day, it’s part of the job for them. You should, however, give some serious thought to where it is going to be placed and how a truck can access that site.

Is there room for the truck? Can a jib crane manoeuvre without taking out walls or power lines? Do you need a permit or other form of building code approval from the local authorities?

Buying a container is not like buying a loaf of bread, but it doesn’t have to be a challenge. Find a reputable re-seller and then work with them to achieve the objective, which is not ‘buying’ a storage container. It is having a storage container you can use on your property.

Shipping & Storage Containers for Sale

Shipping Containers have revolutionized the transportation of non-bulk cargo around the world. Along with improvements in port handling facilities and intermodal transportation such as truck and rail, the container has made the world a smaller place. Today, goods manufactured in China can be on sale in your local Wal-Mart within a few weeks of leaving the factory in Guangzhou.

Containers are used by people around the world to move goods and used containers to store their inventory and even as portable offices and permanent housing. They come in two basic sizes, 20 feet long (6.1m) and 40 feet long (12.2m) are the two most often seen advertised as shipping containers for sale, although there are other lengths in use, mostly in various domestic markets. (48ft and 53ft are standard US domestic sizes) For trade between countries separated by half a world and a huge ocean or two, the TEU is the unit of measurement.

TEU stands for ‘Twenty Foot Equivalent Units’. It is equal to one standard 20 ft by 8 ft wide container. Height is not a factor and so you can have ‘High Cubes’ and ‘Half Height’ containers which are the same length and width but differ in height. The maximum gross mass for a 20 ft dry cargo container is 30,480kg, which includes the weight of the container so the actual payload mass is closer to 28,380kg.

A 40 ft container is a 2 TEU capacity container. Although twice the length of the 1 TEU 20 ft unit, it has a gross mass of 34,000kg and a payload mass of just 30,100kg. Doubling the length of the container wouldn’t double the payload unless the container itself was made a lot stronger and that would increase the TARE mass far beyond the capacity of a truck or rail car to carry it safely on roads and rail lines.

The width of railway tunnels and truck beds as well as the average clearance of bridges and overpasses are responsible for the height of both 20ft and 40ft units being kept at 8 ft (2.4m). Standardization of the container has facilitated trade between countries with differing gauges. The flatcars the container may travel on when offloaded from a ship and moved around in a new country are all the same, but the gauge of the wheels will differ. Many countries use a ‘standard gauge’ of 4ft 81/2in (1435mm) but Russia, India, Finland and Spain all use a ‘broader gauge’ and many countries in Africa and South America use a ‘narrower gauge’.
