Office Containers
vs. Trailers


Why Renting an Office Shipping Container or Office Trailer is a Smart Choice
Are you in need of an office space solution? Whether you rent an office shipping container or an office trailer, both can provide you with numerous advantages.
WHAT IS A STORAGE CONTAINER?
Decades ago, storage containers served primarily as shipping vessels, particularly for ocean freight services. These containers resemble large metal boxes with doors, floors, walls and a seamless roof. They come in various sizes and are stackable on ships, railcars or flatbed trailers for easy transport.
In recent years, storage containers have become more practical and versatile in many residential, commercial and industrial uses. They can efficiently handle a broad application.


WHAT IS A STORAGE TRAILER?
The defining factors of a storage trailer are its wheels and a hitch that connects to a tractor for transport. Because the unit has wheels, the floor sits off the ground several feet at dock level. This extra elevation makes these trailers the perfect solution for transporting products and materials over short distances, particularly if they require unloading and loading at several distribution points. These features make trailers more accessible to warehouse forklifts and other material handling equipment.
Why Rent an Office Shipping Container?
Renting an office shipping container provides several advantages:
Affordability: Renting a shipping container is a cost-effective option compared to leasing an office trailer.
Speed and Convenience: Shipping containers are readily available and can be quickly installed, offering a hassle-free solution for your office space needs.
Flexibility: Renting a shipping container allows you to easily adjust your workspace requirements as your needs change or for temporary projects.
Durability: Shipping containers are built to withstand various weather conditions, providing a durable and long-lasting office solution.
