Why Use Shipping Containers to Store Vehicles?

The automotive industry has long relied on shipping containers for vehicle storage and transportation due to their numerous advantages. Whether you're storing a classic car, motorcycles, or ATVs, shipping containers offer unmatched safety, protection, and flexibility. Designed to withstand harsh sea conditions, these containers are perfect for safeguarding valuable vehicles requiring special care.

 

Advantages of Using Shipping Containers for Car Storage

Protection Against Weather Conditions:
Shipping containers provide robust protection against adverse weather. Be it rain, snow, or strong winds, these containers ensure the interior remains in optimal condition, safeguarding your vehicle from the elements.

 

Safety and Security:
Security is a primary concern for any vehicle owner. Shipping containers, built with sturdy materials and incorporating locks and security systems, deter unauthorized access, making them an excellent option for protecting high-end vehicles.

 

Tidy and Organized Storage:
Shipping containers offer a clean and organized space for storing vehicles. Unlike standard garages, containers provide extensive organization options, keeping your vehicle free from dust and other contaminants.

 

Mobility and Transport:
Shipping containers are perfect for transporting vehicles. Whether shipping a luxury car overseas or relocating a fleet of vehicles, their standardized design simplifies handling and transportation by truck, train, ship, or plane.

 

Flexibility and Versatility:
Shipping containers are incredibly adaptable. Whether you need to store a classic car or several smaller vehicles like motorcycles or ATVs, these containers can cater to your needs with various sizes and configurations.

 

 

Space Optimization:
Especially valuable in urban areas or facilities with limited space, shipping containers offer a compact storage solution that maximizes space utilization.

 

Corrosion Protection:
Vehicles stored in shipping containers are protected from corrosion and rust, as the containers are made from durable materials with corrosion-resistant treatments.

 

Temporary or Long-Term Solution:
Shipping containers serve as both temporary and long-term storage solutions, ideal for storing vehicles and household belongings during moves or renovations.

 

Types of Shipping Containers for Car Storage

Depending on the size and number of vehicles and specific storage requirements, different types of shipping containers can be used:

-20-Foot Container (20′ Standard): Ideal for compact cars or motorcycles, providing enough space to protect and secure smaller vehicles.
    -40-Foot Container (40′ Standard or High Cube): Perfect for larger vehicles like pickup trucks or vans, and for storing multiple cars simultaneously.

      -40′ Container with Doors at Both Ends (Double Door Shipping Container): Allows vehicle loading and unloading from both ends, offering greater flexibility for large vehicles.

       

      Tips for Storing Your Vehicle Properly in a Container

      -Clean Thoroughly: Before storing your car, clean it inside and out to prevent dust and debris accumulation.

      -Disconnect the Battery: Ensure all fluids, like oil and coolant, are at proper levels.

      -Empty the Gas Tank: This prevents possible hazards.

      -Dry and Level Placement: Ensure the container is placed in a dry and level location.

      -Regular Checks: Periodically check the condition of the vehicle and container to detect any potential issues.
