It’s no secret that a big part of what we do is develop innovative storage solutions for our clients! Every year, we service many different industries with specialized shipping containers designed to meet their specific storage needs. Storage needs vary across industries and many clients have surprised us in the way that they use shipping containers to adapt. Let’s take a look at a few different ones.

A big part of what we do is support brands in their marketing efforts. Especially in recent years, there’s been a trend where more and more companies are turning to modular containers to promote their products and businesses.

The modular data center is a storage facility built out of 45 shipping containers, each of which can house more than 1,000 servers. It features advanced climate control that maintains the temperature at under 28 degrees using an advanced water system.

Installing roll up doors on shipping containers is a multi-step process that requires precision, specialized tools and a high-quality product. It also requires skilled labor to guarantee your satisfaction. Our team of professionals has thousands of hours of experience installing roll up doors in new and used shipping containers, a good sign that you’re in the right hands for your modification needs!

Re-purposed shipping containers are already an uncommon sight for many people, but imagine if you saw one in the middle of Times Square in New York City or even in your very own neighborhood. Shipping container pop up stores, cafes and restaurants are literally “popping” up all over the world!

It’s well known that our team makes a big effort to improve our environmental footprint and ensure our containers are used sustainably. When news surfaced that manufacturers are phasing out solvent based paints from the production process and instead are replacing them with low VOC paints, we were thrilled!

It was only a few months ago that we moved to a new, larger facility in Toronto, Ontario and now we are growing again. This time around, we are opening up our very own, brand new yard in Edmonton, Alberta.

Because our shipping containers can be used for many different purposes, we cater to our customers’ needs by offering them a choice: they can buy their shipping containers or they can rent them. For some of our clients, this is a very important decision and we want to make it easier! To help everybody understand what’s involved in making each of these two choices, we recently wrote a blog article to discuss the advantages of renting a shipping container. Now, we are writing this article to discuss the advantages of purchasing a shipping container.

You might not know it, but shipping containers come in all shapes and sizes. Well, maybe not all shapes, but the umbrella term covers a few types of containers. Some come with only minor differences like different types of doors and features but some are much more distinct.
