When it comes to buying or renting Columbus metal shipping containers, look no further to find out all you need to know.
Are you looking for Columbus metal shipping containers or Conex boxes?
Discover all there is to know about metal storage containers, from the different types and sizes to their endless different uses and whether you should be buying or renting one for your project or business.
What are the Different Sizes of Shipping Containers?
Metal storage containers come in a number of shapes and sizes so there’s no doubt you’ll find one that is perfect for your needs. The sizes are split into three categories:
- Small Shipping Containers – 6ft, 8ft, 10ft, 16ft
- Standard Shipping Containers – 20ft and 30ft
- Large Shipping Containers – 40ft and 45ft
If you’re looking for a storage solution that doesn’t take up too much space, a small container is an excellent option. There are also “high cube” storage containers which have an additional foot of space overhead. These can be useful for shipping taller items.
Standard shipping containers, as the name would suggest are the most common and popular choice due to their versatility, and suitability to all sizes of ships.
Large containers are perfect for large scale projects as they are a more cost-effective way of transporting large amounts of goods, or large pieces of equipment.
What About Different Types of Metal Storage Containers?
If you have specific needs for your storage or shipping container, there are several bespoke options available;
- Ventilated shipping containers for when your cargo needs consistent airflow.
- Refrigerated shipping containers for food or medicines.
- Flat rack shipping containers that have no roof and collapsible sides for more flexibility – these can be useful for transporting awkward or large items but only come in 20ft or 40ft sizes.
- Open top shipping containers also only come in 20ft or 40ft sizes but are perfect for items that are too tall for even the high cube containers.
These are just a few of a wealth of different sizes and specifications of shipping containers.
Is it Better to Rent or Buy Columbus Metal Shipping Containers?
Whether to rent or buy a steel storage container is greatly dependent on the project or business. The most obvious reason to buy rather than rent a container is if it is being customized and used for a business.
There are some incredibly creative ideas for shipping container businesses out there, and a metal shipping container is a relatively low expense option for business premises. One example of a potentially lucrative business is the stacked storage container “box market” — these are popping up all over the world.
Another reason to buy your metal storage container is if your project is going to last longer than two years. While renting can be cost-effective in the short term, the total cost for a long term project would potentially be more than purchasing a container.
A big advantage of renting a shipping container is the fact that there is no need to worry about resale at the end of a project.
