FAQ
What can I use a shipping container for?
Shipping containers are versatile and used for far more than freight. They’re ideal for secure on-site storage during renovations or relocations, temporary business storage, or even transporting belongings between properties. Some people use them to store tools, machinery, furniture, or event equipment. They’re popular in industries like construction and retail, where mobile, weatherproof storage is needed. Containers also work well for rural or farm properties needing extra lockable space. Always ensure you choose the right size and condition for your purpose, and if needed, ask about delivery, pick-up and any council requirements for long-term placement on private land.
Are containers waterproof and weatherproof?
Yes, most shipping containers are built to be fully weatherproof and secure. They’re made from strong steel and designed to protect contents against wind, rain and sun exposure. When properly sealed and maintained, they keep moisture out and prevent dust and pests from getting in. However, if you're storing sensitive items like documents, fabrics or electronics long term, it’s a good idea to check for ventilation options or add desiccant packs to reduce humidity. Always inspect the container before use to ensure there are no visible signs of damage, rust or compromised seals.
How secure is a shipping container for storage?
Shipping containers are incredibly secure, made from heavy-duty steel with lockable doors. For added protection, many containers come with lock boxes that shield padlocks from bolt cutters or tampering. When placed on private property or secure work sites, they offer excellent defence against theft and weather damage. You can also reinforce security with motion sensors, CCTV or alarms if needed. Always choose a good-quality padlock, ideally one that’s weather resistant and designed for containers. If you're storing high-value items or sensitive equipment, consider adding extra internal reinforcement or storing the container in a monitored area.
