Containerised self-storage continues to grow as a sector within the UK and is providing a lucrative opportunity for both existing business with spare land, as well as entrepreneurs. Shipping containers are perfect for the task since they were built for moving goods around the world.
For standard self-storage we strongly recommend using containers from our one-trip range in lengths of 8ft, 10ft, 20ft, 40ft with single doors, double doors or multi-compartments.
The double door (or tunnel) containers are really useful as they provide an extremely cost-effective way of dividing up a 20ft unit into two separate storage areas far more cheaply than buying two 10ft units.
Portable Space is a member of the UK Self Storage Association
Here at Portable Space we offer some additional benefits that are attractive for self-storage companies including:
- Easy-opening doors
- Additional air vents
- Sealed floor options
- Grafotherm anti-condensation coatings
