Types of Businesses That Can Benefit From Storage Containers

Published: September 15, 2022

A storage container from UNITS can benefit businesses of any size, from self-employed entrepreneurs to multimillion-dollar construction companies. A storage container might be perfect for you if you’re looking to streamline your operations. Here are some business types that can benefit from this kind of storage:

Pharmaceutical Sales

A pharmaceutical salesperson’s best friend is climate-controlled storage. Meeting with doctors on a regular basis, they require a central location to store all of their inventory. A climate-controlled storage container is an ideal spot to keep pharmaceutical samples while saving space at the workplace or at home, thanks to controlled temperature and humidity levels.

Contractors & Landscapers

A storage container is the perfect place to store your equipment if you’re a contractor or landscaper and don’t have enough space at your shop or home. You can keep tools, heavy equipment, construction supplies, or trailers in the container and just stop by on your way to the job site.

Interior Designers

Interior designers love finding unique pieces of furniture and decor, but their homes can only hold so much. A storage container is a perfect place to keep those vintage finds until they find the right home, whether it’s an antique store coffee table or an eccentric lamp from a boutique shop.

Real Estate Agents

For-sale signs, open-house sandwich boards, furniture for staging homes, and other marketing materials can be bulky. Instead of finding room for it all in the garage or office, many real estate agents rent storage containers to have a centrally located spot from which to operate.

E-commerce Companies

When e-commerce sites experience an increase in demand, they usually require storage space for all that new inventory. These businesses may be run from home or have a small leased office, making it difficult to justify paying for extra square footage or a costly warehouse. However, renting a storage container is much more cost-effective and can easily accommodate order fulfillment.

Brick-and-Mortar Stores

A storage container is a cost-effective solution for businesses with overstock inventory. Why pay for a larger location when you can rent a container and access your items whenever possible?
