Those intrigued over the idea of using a shipping container for any of their needs have come to the right place. We here at LGI Transport, LLC have offered used shipping containers for sale in NY for all types of industries.
Here are just some of the uses that you can benefit from choosing a shipping container for:
Education
That’s right, as we mentioned above, schools are taking advantage of the multiple uses of shipping containers. Regardless of if they are choosing an old container for storage or full or partial classroom use. Cheaper than renovating any important building and a cheap method of extra storage, our shipping containers for sale in NJ have certainly gained popularity in recent years.
For schools in need of all available space, shipping containers become a viable option. They can be modified for accessibility, keep contents under secure lock and key, and can even be adorned with school colors.
A storage container can be moved near athletic facilities or around the cafeteria entrance — depending on where it’s needed most. Additionally, if one school no longer needs it, the unit can be transported to another school within the same district.
Automotive
Since shipping containers are used to transport motor vehicles all over the world, it should be no surprise that shipping containers may also add a ton of value to any car enthusiasts. From the storage of spare parts and bulky accessories to keeping an entire car secure, you simply can’t go wrong choosing a used shipping container for sale from LGI Transport, LLC.
Construction and Manufacturing
Anyone in the manufacturing industry knows how much storage space is needed. With the ability to provide added storage at a price that can be found elsewhere, it’s no surprise many different manufacturing industries have turned to LGI Transport, LLC for all of their shipping container needs. For companies that use specialized tools and machinery on job sites or their facilities, security is a priority. Also, many of these organizations have to move their tools to different locations as they take on new projects — whether that be on the other side of a warehouse, across town, or to a different city altogether. On top of efficiency, portable storage units are incredibly durable and better safeguard tools against harsh climates and theft.
Farming and Agriculture
It may be rather apparent that farmers need to store items like tools and equipment, but they also tend to store harvested crops in chilled rooms and sometimes grow them in enclosed and portable spaces. Depending on the season and scale of the operation, these stored tools and crops need to be easily accessible in various locations on a single farm or plantation. The mobility and versatility of shipping container storage maintain efficient workflow regardless of the time of year.
Container units can be relocated closer to working areas within a sizable farm or field. Once these units have served their purpose and no longer need to be situated where they are, they can be easily moved in preparation for the next season or off of the property to transport goods to market.
Retail and Restaurants
Establishments that have storefronts or dining areas have tailored their space to maximize guest experience, yet they still need room to store and organize foodstuffs, supplies, and additional inventory. Therefore, it’s crucial to have a storage facility that is not only accessible but mobile, as well.
To keep the customer-facing side of the business inviting, extra storage space must often fit in a parking lot or proximity to a kitchen entrance — especially for companies undergoing rapid growth. Thanks to the modification possibilities of shipping containers, insulation, climate control, and shelving can be incorporated to keep inventory and ingredients protected and readily available.
These units’ portability is helpful to larger chains by allowing them to utilize units across different locations and moving them as needed. On the other hand, more modest establishments benefit from additional space that allows them to scale up without relocating to a new brick-and-mortar space before they are financially or logistically prepared. Upon their decision to move, they’ll still be able to bring their portable storage unit with them.
Out of all the industries that can enhance their operations using portable storage, this is just the “short list.” Consider how theme parks, oil and gas, water treatment, telecommunications, and transportation can benefit, as well.
