What are the Reasons to Hire a Shipping Container?

Ready to think outside the box? Storage container rental accommodates a range of versatile demands.

Whether shipping extra cargo, adding on-site office space or opening a short-term retail project, sea container hire from True Blue Containers holds vast appeal.

Test run

Not sure if purchasing another shipping container is viable? Hiring is a great way to measure usage patterns against potential costs, helping your business make an informed decision.

Peak seasons

Container needs can fluctuate. When cargo and stock are up, hiring increases your shipping and storage capacity. Just end the hiring contract before the anticipated dip in demand.

Location change

Moving home or office is a headache. Shipping containers travelling by road, rail or sea offer an easy solution to domestic or commercial packing and transit challenges.

Storage

Storage containers reliably store belongings in the short-term or long-term at your place of residence or business, protecting against weather, theft, wildlife and pests. 

Controlled storage

Want to store inventory in a controlled clime? Hiring refrigerated or insulated shipping containers will address those requirements for as long as necessary.

On-site presence

From construction to art installations, utilising a shipping container as a base and/or storage point on-site can save time, and provide peace of mind during the project.

Retail

Pop-up retail ventures are hugely popular. Hired shipping containers transform into short-term stores around peak consumer periods like Christmas, EOFY, or Valentine’s Day.

Special occasions

Perhaps your community event or charity fundraiser requires a registration point or designated first aid stop. Shipping containers are a simple, reliable option.

Client contracts

Now and again, a business buys or sells, ships or stores unusual cargo. Hiring a specific container model for the job lets you fulfil the contract with minimal financial outlay.

Reduced responsibility

Shipping containers often have to meet certain local, national and international standards. 

Quality control and maintenance across the years is primarily the purvey of the owner.

Flexibility

Hiring allows you to switch container models much more easily than buying, where deciding on a container design can be tough if your business needs are prone to change.

Done and dusted

Once you no longer have use for your hired container and the contract ends, it can be returned to the owner. You won’t have to contend with the logistics of long-term storage.

Option to buy

Hiring gives a window of time to consider the pros and cons of buying, while still satisfying the needs of your business. You always have the option of purchasing the rental.
