Is Renting New Orleans Metal Shipping Containers Best?
Businesses have the choice to either rent or purchase their shipping containers, but which is right for you. If your business plans on using the containers for a long time or repeatedly, then you might consider buying your metal storage containers.
Renting is ideal for a business that plans on using the storage containers once or infrequently. If your business is building a new office and needs storage space, then perhaps it wise to rent a container. You can rent them for a week or up to a year.
While the cost of a storage container is an investment, it could end up saving your business money in the long run.
Size of Shipping Containers
What do you plan on using the shipping containers for? Do you need long term storage of documents? Do you plan on shipping or storing heavy equipment? Do you want to use it for office space?
The smallest containers are 6- to 10-feet long. They’re used for shipping small items and storing documents and small pieces of equipment. They are the most economical, but make sure what your shipping or storing fits within its confines.
If you visit a shipping yard, you’ll see a lot of 20-30 foot containers. These are the most popular because they come in several types and can handle most shipping and storage needs. If you need an on-site office for two or three people, you can use a container of this size.
The 40-foot and larger containers are often used to ship or store heavy machines because they can handle the most weight. Businesses also use them for pop-up restaurants and studios because they can accommodate many people.
Shipping Container Types
The most common type of shipping container is the general-purpose variety. It can handle most dry goods and can be fitted to work with liquid as well. It doesn’t have fancy bells and whistles like the other types, but it is reliable.
If you plan on shipping or storage tall items or items that need a crane, then the retractable roof of an open-top container is what you want. It has lashings on the sides to help secure the cargo.
Do you have perishable goods that need to be transported across long distances? Insulated containers are built like a thermos to insulate as much of cold, so it requires less power to maintain a constant temperature. They’re used for everything from foods and organs to pharmaceuticals and biological materials.
