5 Benefits of Creating a Storage Facility with Shipping Containers

​Storage facilities are an important part of today’s urban life. They provide a place where we can store stuff we just can’t discard anytime soon. As more realize the value of this type of service, you can expect to see growth in the number of people looking for storage facilities, and more businesses looking to meet that demand.
We here at MKV International Trading offer wholesale shipping containers for storage use. Shipping containers work so much better than traditional self-storage solutions. 

​What are the benefits to adapting the use of shipping containers for your business?
 
Benefit #1: It’s the more cost-effective option.
Traditionally, storage facilities built building-like structures and divided the rooms into storage units. This requires a large amount of capital. Building maintenance costs are equally huge. Modern storage facilities are now discovering that using shipping containers is more cost-efficient compared to the old ways. It requires a smaller investment. More importantly, they arrive ready for use.

Benefit #2: Durability makes your investment go a long way.
Shipping containers are built to resist external forces. They are designed to withstand strong impacts while protecting their cargo. These containers have a long lifespan because of the high strength corten (weathering steel) used in its construction. To further protect the structure, these are coated with a special finish that fights off corrosion and other elements. You are practically guaranteed to keep gaining returns on your investment for a long time.
 
Benefit #3: Attract more customers with security features.
Shipping containers are durable and can offer excellent protection to the items stored inside. Its solid construction provides peace of mind that each container is safe from break-ins or tampering. Customers highly value a sense of security—especially when it comes to the things they wish to store indefinitely. If you can offer them this kind of safe storage solution, you can expect to gain and retain happy and loyal customers that will help your business grow by spreading the good word to friends and family.

Benefit #4: Reduce costs and risks associated with expanding your business.
There’s a healthy market for used containers; so if you decide to resell any of your shipping containers, you can definitely liquidate them at a good price. This also means that it would be easier for you to expand or to downsize as needed.
If you are new to the storage business, you might not have a good estimate on the level of customer demand. You can start with any number of shipping containers and then procure new ones as the demand rises—knowing that reselling them is easy if it turns out that you have too much storage space. In addition, adding more storage containers do not require you to make huge changes to your existing infrastructure.  

Note: If you have new or used containers that you would like to sell or have purchased a container from MKV International Trading that you no longer need, contact us, we purchase containers and offer a Buy Back Program to all customers!
 
Benefit #5: Make the most out of your space 
Shipping containers are specifically engineered to be stackable. This means that compared to traditional self-storage units, you can get more out of the land where you chose to set up your business. You can just add stairs, ladders, or walkways for your clients to be able to access their containers conveniently.
