Renting vs. Purchasing Shipping Containers

Shipping containers are the perfect storage options for anyone with short-term and long-term needs alike. At Carolina Containers, we have a massive inventory of shipping containers on-site and available immediately for rent and purchase! Listen, we’ve all been there; sometimes, you just run out of the easily accessible storage space you need, whether you’re at work or home. Beyond that, you need storage that you can trust to be safe and protect your valuables. It needs to protect not only from potential thieves but also from anything mother nature has to throw at it.

If you’re living in a rental home/property or space is at a premium for you, building entire additional structures on your property may not be an option. With a shipping container, though, we can drop it in an exact location where it will best serve you, then be there the moment you need it gone to ensure you have all the space you need.

Consider How Long You Need the Shipping Container

The general rule of thumb is that if you need a shipping container for anywhere from a week to around, but not more than a year, you’re going to come out better long-term renting it for that period. You get the storage or space you need with all maintenance and issues handled by us. Of course, there are conditions that we will have to go into below.

Now, if you’re planning to install the container as a permanent fixture or keep it for an extended period, you’re going to want to own it outright. Again, we’re generally talking a year or more; most will want to own it at that point.

Consider and Keep Your Budget in Mind

Even when renting, the cost of a container will generally vary based on size, age, and how many modifications have gone into it. So obviously, a brand new container with many custom additions will cost you more than a more heavily used standard container will.

Renting a Shipping Container

Shipping containers have come a long way since their inception, once used exclusively for the shipping and transportation of goods across the globe. They are still very heavily used in that regard but now are used to store things like construction materials or all the extra stuff piling up in your garage at home. In addition, they can be used for secure cross-country transportation and so many more custom uses. Renting a shipping container is the perfect answer for many.

Save Money with Shipping Containers for Rent

Building additional buildings on your property is always an option BUT compared to just renting a shipping container, it’s far more intensive, expensive, and hard to manage. Not to mention, once it’s there, a shed or building is much harder if not impossible to transport. On the other hand, shipping containers are relatively easy to transport – we need to show up with an 18 wheeler, and we can get your container picked up, moved, and placed where it’s most beneficial for you. One thing to note is that the doors DO swing out, so weigh that when selecting your drop location.

How much you will spend on renting a shipping container depends on a few things. Mainly the quality of the container itself, which is from Carolina Containers, will always be top of the line. As well as the duration you are planning to rent/use it. No paying for the extra time you just aren’t going to use. Or worse, you end up stuck with a shipping container you don’t need.

Renting a Shipping Container Offers Unmatched Flexibility

Many reasonable storage options are available to anyone who thinks they’ll stay in the same place. For example, there are few good options for anyone planning to transport goods and materials to different job sites or locations. You need a shipping container when you need storage that can move around as you do without the great hassle. Moving them is fast and easy. We’ve had customers who are moving homes use a shipping container to pack all of their things and transport them to the new home securely and all in one go. Conex containers also come in a wide array of size variations. We offer 10ft containers, 20ft shipping containers, and 40ft shipping containers for sale and rent. That way, you are only paying for what you need and no extra space you don’t.

We are very proud to offer the variety of containers that we do – far more than just your average Conex container retailer. We have more than we can list here, but just a few of the 20-foot container options that we have are

• 20ft double door container
• 20-foot open side container
• 20′ top open hardtop container

If you need some serious storage space, consider renting or purchasing one of our 40-foot storage containers. Those too come in all the same variations as the 20-foot containers; here are some of those:

• 40ft high cube container
• 40-foot high cube open side container
• 40′ high cube reefer container

When Would I Consider Purchasing a Shipping Container?

If you think you will need storage space for an undetermined, potentially infinite amount of time, we recommend you consider purchasing a container outright. Overall, it’ll likely end up being the cheaper option for you.

Purchasing Allows You All the Customization You Could Want

When renting a Conex container, you can, of course, go for any of the many options we went over above, offering you great variety. But one thing you can’t do is customize or alter it to fit your needs best. Unless you return it in a similar condition to where you got it, you may pay extra. But if you outright own that container, you can get it customized and modified to do just about anything you want. We offer custom container modification here at Carolina Containers; contact us directly to discuss details!

As for what someone may want to add to a container, the list is endless. It could be a mobile office that you need more storage in, or maybe you want to add more locks, possibly even heating and air conditioning to keep the inside comfortable. There are so many customization options with a shipping container. We’ve had construction companies ask us to make all kinds of modifications to shipping containers before so that they can store all sorts of things in them.

How Should You Go About Preparing Your Land for a Conex Container Home?

Steel shipping containers are a lot more versatile than people realize. Conex containers are being used in areas beyond just transportation. With the current housing market volatility – overpriced and highly competitive – it’s no surprise that some people are looking to Conex container homes to meet their housing needs. But, of course, it’s never as easy as just buying an old container, modifying it into a home, plopping it down on some land, and calling it a day. There are rules and regulations to consider, and, besides that, the land itself needs to be able to support such a structure. More than one Conex container has met its end, not from trips across the oceans, but because someone set it down without thinking about how long it would sit there and ruined the container in the process. That becomes a serious problem when said container is someone’s home.

Conex Container Homes – Preparing the Land

Preparing the land will require some research. So, first, make sure to ask if local regulations permit a prefabricated metal home to be allowed in the locale chosen. Also, make sure to look into any potential design issues. Home regulations at the town, city, county, and state-level can all get complicated, so know the local ordinances, state regulations, and laws. Then, of course, if there is a local Homeowners Association, check with them as well.

Presuming everything is approved, the land itself needs to be readied. Home or not, it is still a big steel box and will sink into the ground without a proper foundation. Concrete slabs are a good choice, as is gravel. For those who can get them, old railroad ties work, too. The idea is to keep the metal off of actual dirt to prevent rust and sinking.

If utilities are already available, it is pretty straightforward once the home is settled in place, hooking it up with water, septic or sewer, electrical, etc. These homes are designed for easy modification and adaptation as needed, so once it’s in place, everything else is a matter of contacting local contractors for the hook-ups. The exterior can be the original industrial look, or siding can be added. Considering how expensive homes are getting, those two are pretty good inducements to research if a Conex home is a potential solution.

Why You Need Rental Heavy Equipment During Maintenance Periods

That’s where Carolina Containers can help. As the number one preferred container and heavy equipment rental service in and around Raleigh, NC, we’re the ones who will help you continue to work. Let’s take a closer look at a few reasons why you need to rent heavy equipment when yours is out.

Downsides of Downtime

As you well know, a few financial problems come with having equipment breakdown when you need work, including:

• Repair and replacement costs
• Rental equipment costs
• Cost of training on new machinery
• Employee wages that still need to be paid when equipment is idle
• Penalties for failing to meet production deadlines

Because of all these negative costs and effects associated with downtime, businesses strive to keep it to a minimum. But, unfortunately, this idle time when your heavy equipment is unproductive when it should be out making you money.

Benefits of Renting Heavy Equipment During Downtime

The benefits of having rental equipment to fill the hole left by your unusable equipment are many. However, it would be best if you had a contingency plan for what to do when equipment is suddenly unavailable due to breakdowns or maintenance time, including an option to find convenient and effective equipment replacements.

Access to rental equipment on-demand is essential for reducing the adverse effects and costs of maintenance downtime. In addition, it will allow you to meet all your production deadlines even while your equipment is not operable.

A Look Back at Shipping Containers Through the Years

It’s hard to overstate the usefulness and durability of shipping containers. For basically a giant steel box, they have proven incredibly versatile. Besides the obvious use of transporting goods, they can be modified to suit all sorts of needs. Modern shipping containers can be transformed into long-term storage, mobile homes, offices, classrooms, and even mobile clinics. Shipping container sales remain high because they are so cheap that companies use them once and let them sit. That’s why so many can be obtained for even lower prices and modified for various needs.

Shipping Container Sales: The Versatility of Shipping Containers

In the Beginning

Shipping containers weren’t always so versatile or ubiquitous. Until the twentieth century, products were transported in either wooden crates, barrels, or exposed to the elements. With all these different sizes and shapes, efficient shipping was complicated. Also, this method brought spoilage risks, and the container often weighed more than the goods themselves.

Modern Times

In 1956, American businessman Malcolm McLean sought to make the industry of shipping more economical. He worked to develop a large, versatile container that could hold a lot of goods. His invention was, obviously, the metal shipping container. It was standardizing the container size and making them stackable that revolutionized the transportation industry.

The containers quickly became a commercial and international transport standard. More than 17 million are used, and shipping container sales show no signs of stopping as world trade increases. However, for the first few decades of their use, shipping containers remained primarily relegated to transportation.

Beyond Shipping Goods

In the 1980s, people at construction sites started to look for a place to secure big, bulky stuff on-site to deter theft. As a giant steel box with doors, a couple of locks and chains can turn any properly maintained steel container into a massive safe.

Their versatility only grew with demand. By the turn of the 21st century, shipping containers were being modified to serve as temporary housing for construction workers and similar laborers who needed to travel long distances for their contracts. From there, the modification of containers to offices and classrooms proved easy enough. As a result of recent health crises, shipping containers have also been used as mobile medical clinics and testing sites.

Shipping containers may not have a long history, but their presence has revolutionized transportation and other infrastructural fields. It’s almost impossible not to see a shipping container in daily life because there are so many of them, and they’re so helpful and versatile. Thanks to one man’s transportation vision, such containers are helping people across the globe.

What Are the Most Challenging Parts of Working in the Container Industry?

When an industry is evolving, a lot of roadblocks and hiccups pop up. The shipping container industry is no different. There are many challenges, while most people think it’s a seamless industry. Below are some of the challenges that several leaders in the shipping container industry face.

Portable Shipping Container Raleigh NC: Industry Myths

Shipping Container Structures are Cheap

An unmodified shipping container is inexpensive. However, that cost is about 10% of the total for a modified shipping container. The balance includes electrical, carpentry, plumbing, site work, finishes, and other additions and changes. Therefore, the notion that container structures are cheap is false, and people need to change their mindset and choose to buy containers because they provide solutions, not because they are cheap.

The Industry is Young

The standardized metal shipping container industry began in the 1950s. Since then, the industry has expanded to using containers for various reasons, from extra storage to homes. The more the customization, the higher the cost for the customer. The industry continues to grow as the popularity of recycling containers into portable shops, eateries, and offices increases.

Modifications are Easy

Many people think they can alter a shipping container just because they have experience with welding or a home renovation. However, modifying a shipping container isn’t as easy as it seems. Faulty work ends up with compromised structural integrity, thus giving the industry a bad reputation. Most reputable companies have structural engineers on staff who have software to analyze every structure. This analysis is especially critical for multi-container designs.

Standards in Safety and Quality

As of now, container structures are regulated by states and local governments, and those regulations vary widely. Each entity has developed its own safety and quality standards. Unfortunately, there are no national organization standards. So it is wise to be cautious and research who you hire for modifications. Of course, any changes that include electrical or plumbing must meet standard codes of safety.

Standard Building Codes

Existing building codes weren’t meant for modified container structures. This situation makes these building codes challenging to follow. The codes are often opaque and inconsistent from locale to locale and even state to state. It is unclear what to follow and what not to follow and what even is being enforced.

Carolina Containers

Are you looking for more storage or office space? Your solution may be a portable shipping container in Raleigh NC. Carolina Containers carries a large selection of standard and modified containers for a variety of uses. Don’t see what you need? We can modify any container to meet your needs.

The advantages of using cargo containers from Raleigh are well worth every penny. You will find our cargo containers to be safe, durable, cost-effective, and even weatherproof.

When you think about conventional storage facilities, they are quite expensive to physically maintain and are usually not conveniently close. Buying a cargo container is like making an investment that can pay off any way you want it to in the future, not to mention you can use it as soon as you get it!

Long-Lasting Dependability

Cargo containers are also very durable thus they are ideal options for storing personal items outdoors particularly during the harsh upcoming winter weather. These storage containers have been designed and built to withstand all manner of external forces. Strong impacts and harsh weather will have little to no effect on your container. Cargo containers in Raleigh are made using weathering steel that is very high strength, with a finish that will keep out the elements and corrosion.

Security & Confidence

If you choose to buy more than one storage container, you can easily stack them on top of one another! They’re made to be stacked tall when they sit in shipyards or even on their overseas journeys. This allows you to truly maximize your storage space. You can add ladders or whatever you want to make it easier for you to access.

If you no longer have any good use for your cargo container, you can probably look to re-sell it for a decent price! You could also look to rent it out to anyone who needs temporary storage. You can also quite easily relocate your container wherever it is most convenient for you! Just one more great feature of shipping containers is how easy they are to transport, you can load them up on the back of a truck and take them where you want them!

Harsh climates with hot summers and chilly winters can be dangerous for some items that require long-term storage if they are exposed to the weather for long. Insulation is vital not only for comfort but also to prevent the container from mold or corrosion. Let’s see how one can insulate a shipping container.

Foam insulation

To keep the container warm during cooler climates and dry in damper ones, spray foam insulation is the way to go. As the most flexible and quickest method of insulation, it creates a consistent vapor barrier combating condensation and leaving the container dry. Foam insulation is sprayed into gaps on the inside and outside of the shipping container as well as underneath it to prevent moisture from creeping in.  If one is interested in painting over the foam, allow it to settle. Spray foam insulation is messier and more expensive than other options such as blanket insulation or insulation panels.

Insulation panels and blanket insulation

These two options require stud walls to use.  Insulation panels are purchased at predefined sizes and fitted into the gaps of a stud wall. Their depth gives them a high insulating power which is much cheaper compared to foam insulation. For blanket insulation, rock wool or fiberglass is the material used which requires a lot of care when handling. For safe installation, personal protective equipment should be at your disposal. Out of the three options mentioned, blanket insulation is the cheapest.

Eco-friendly options

Options that include natural materials like wool, mud, cotton or a living roof for insulation are all considered eco-friendly. Wool insulation method uses sheep’s wool while cotton uses recycle cotton which makes it differ from blanket insulation. Though it’s not recommended to replace proper insulation, a living roof can minimize indoor temperatures and mud can be used on the container’s roof.  It’s advisable to use mud only in areas where rain is scarce; too much water isn’t friendly to mud.

No need to stick to one method, combining more than one insulation process is different sections can ultimately provide a better result.

Types of Insulation

Styrofoam, spray foam and batt are the three main types of insulation used in shipping containers. Let us look at each of them:

• Styrofoam: Polystyrene (commonly known as Styrofoam) is ideal for insulating storage containers. It is a fast, easy, and cost-effective way of insulating a storage shipping container and also helps reduce sound. Conventional climate-controlled storage containers typically come with an inch of Styrofoam insulation already installed.
• Spray Foam: This is ideal for temperature-sensitive enclosures. It is not considered to be the most aesthetically pleasing insulation, and it is sprayed directly onto the container walls. The spray foam then sets as a water-resistant, hard covering. Spray foam is a more expensive insulation option.
• Batt (or Roll): This insulation material is ideal for living spaces and offices. Batt is made up of finely woven strands of mineral wool, plastic fibers, or glass, and it is the industry standard for insulation used in residential and office containers.

The quickest way to insulate shipping containers is to put in insulation panels that are readily available in predefined sizes, making it easy to fit them. Blanket insulation is also considered to be one of the cheapest options available. Eco-friendly insulation materials are also available such as cotton, wool, and mud.

So when you are buying a shipping container, keep in mind the various insulation options there are as only with proper insulation can you successfully convert a container into a comfortable living or office space.
