How to arrange a warehouse in a container?

Depending on the type of goods to be stored in the warehouse, you have to decide whether or not storage containers will be stacked or not. This is an important stage of planning, because not all objects available on the market allow you to put them on top of each other.
Whether given or not storage container has the option of stacking depends on its construction. Adequate frame strength container it should be welded from cold-formed sections with a thickness of 4 mm. But for the whole pavilion was strong, the columns bolted to the upper and lower frames must be made of solid sections (preferably cold-bent, also 4 mm thick).
The third step is to choose the right options so that the final warehouse meets our expectations. Professional producers containers warehouses offer the ability to adjust the load capacity of the floor, the width of the entrance gate, the number of closing bolts and the options of insulation or electrical installation.
After determining the size and all configurations, all you need to do is select the appropriate container (or containers), set up a block foundation and wait for delivery. The assembly itself is carried out with the use of a crane or HDS, and takes only a dozen or so minutes. Such a short lead time is a big advantage of storage containers.

Storage container price and maintenance cost
Buy storage container these are low costs, especially when compared to building your own building. Of course, when the alternative is to rent space, the starting budget is certainly larger. However, it is worth developing a good financial analysis - the costs of maintaining the container after purchase are practically zero.

It is also important that the costs incurred can be partially recovered if the warehouse is no longer needed. Reselling a container is a simple process, and there is a lot of interest on the market to buy these types of objects second-hand.

Security and durability of storage containers
A question that often arises when buying a container as a warehouse is the issue of appropriate security. As you know, the warehouse must protect the goods against both potential theft and damage caused, for example, by moisture or too low temperature.
The storage container is almost identical in design to the sea container, which ensures that moisture is not a problem for him. However, the key to good thermal insulation is building walls, roof and floor. Each of these elements must be properly insulated. Reputable manufacturers use mineral wool with a thickness of at least 50 mm with a vapor barrier foil for this purpose. It is also worth paying attention to the quality of door and window joinery - modern PVC solutions ensure tightness.
A separate topic is protection against hacking. Storage containers can be equipped with extensive access control systems. Choosing the right method is important and depends on individual needs and, above all, the type of goods or equipment stored in a given warehouse. Professional security bolts offered by manufacturers are a good standard containers.
