It’s easy for a commercial business owner to feel stuck when it comes to storage space. After all, additions to your building require significant time and money investments, right? (Not to mention all the permits, insurance and other paperwork involved.)
In reality, you aren’t as limited as you might think. By getting creative (and considering a solution like commercial storage containers), you can enjoy additional options for storage.
Here are a few ways commercial storage containers can benefit you and your business.
Store Extra or Seasonal Inventory
From warehouses and retail stores to auto repair shops and hospitals, many commercial industries deal with fluctuating inventory. Or, there may be seasons where inventory is higher and other times when it’s lower. Mobile storage containers are an ideal solution for expanding your inventory storage capabilities while not taking away from other valuable space in your facility. Whether you’ve outgrown your space or simply have an overflow, a container can keep your extra inventory on site or in a secure location that is easily accessible.
Keep Tools and Equipment Secured
Contractors, landscapers and equipment rental companies are just a few examples of commercial businesses that deal with a large rotation of tools and equipment. Not only are these items valuable, they can often become unorganized and difficult to manage. Commercial storage containers help secure the equipment you use most often with features like galvanized steel framing and heavy-duty security latches – features found on our SAM Store and Move commercial storage containers. They can also help you organize tools better while keeping them on site or at any locations you service with them.
Streamline Important Business Areas
If you have boxes of paperwork or supplies that don’t belong in the area where they’re stored (e.g. the reception area or break room), it causes problems like disrupting the environment for your employees. By storing any extra products or supplies in a container instead of in your facility, you open up your interior spaces for other needs (and a better ambiance).
Clear the Way for Renovations and Moves
If you plan any business renovations or remodels, you have to do something with the furniture, equipment and other items that are currently in the space. Putting them outside is unsightly and leaves them exposed to weather and security concerns. But storing them in a secure commercial storage container can keep them protected and out of the way—whether you need them again in the short term or you’re fine with long-term storage.
