Can I track my container?

Moving a full container can be difficult and potentially dangerous without the right equipment and expertise. If you need to move your container to a different location, it’s best to arrange this with the rental company. Some companies may provide relocation services, but these will likely come at an additional cost.

Our container rentals are designed to withstand various weather conditions. They are constructed from durable materials that provide adequate protection against the elements. However, while the containers are weather-resistant, they are not climate-controlled. It’s essential to consider the type of items being stored and take necessary precautions to protect sensitive belongings from extreme temperatures or humidity.

The placement of a rented container may be subject to local permits and regulations, so it’s important to check with the relevant authorities. Additionally, consider the accessibility of the desired location to ensure that the container can be safely delivered and accessed. Finally, if you plan to place the container on private property, make sure you have permission from the property owner.

Rental containers and shipping containers have similarities but also key differences. Rental containers are temporary storage units that you rent from a storage company for a specific period. You don’t own the container but pay rental fees. They are commonly used for short-term storage needs and offer customization options. In contrast, shipping containers are purchased and owned for long-distance transportation of goods. They are designed to withstand shipping conditions, and modifications are typically done after purchase. Rental containers are readily available from storage companies, while shipping containers may require sourcing from specialized suppliers. Pricing structures differ, with rental containers based on rental period and features, and shipping containers sold outright based on size, condition, and location of purchase.

Each container has a maximum weight limit, which includes the weight of the container itself and its contents. This limit is usually clearly marked on the container. It’s important to ensure that your items don’t exceed this limit, as overloading can cause damage to the container and make it unsafe to move.

Before placing a small shipping container on your property, several important considerations must be addressed to ensure that the addition is practical and compliant with local regulations. First and foremost, checking with your local municipality or zoning office is crucial to understanding the specific laws, permits, and zoning restrictions that apply to shipping containers in your area. Some localities may have strict rules regarding the placement, size, and use of shipping containers on residential properties, including how close they can be to property lines or structures. Additionally, the intended use of the shipping container should be clearly defined, whether for storage, a workshop, a home office, or any other purpose. This will help determine the appropriate size and modifications needed, such as insulation, ventilation, windows, and doors.
