They're designed to be wind and watertight which protects the cargo inside from the elements as they traverse rough seas and rough weather.

A majority of customers purchase a second-hand container because it's cheaper than building from the ground up with bricks and mortar. This is especially true since you'll have a ready-to-go base that can be used immediately and modified within a matter of weeks.
On construction sites, containers can be used as a temporary storage solution for equipment and tools, a breakroom or an onsite office. It's simple to repurpose the space when projects are finished too which is a major benefit for contractors who often must meet tight deadlines.

In some instances, it makes more sense to buy a second-hand container than an entirely new one. You may not be concerned about the design of the container or your budget may not allow for a new one. Whatever the reason, purchasing a used container will save you money and is an excellent alternative for a variety of purposes and projects.
There's no doubt that a brand new container will look better than one that has been used (especially because they're typically sold in a single colour and are free of shipping company logos) However, a second-hand container is perfectly suited for a variety of uses and is guaranteed to last the same as a brand-new one. Steel is the material used to construct these units and a quality container can last for up to twenty years. It's also worth remembering that purchasing a used container is both economically and environmentally sustainable. Reusing containers can be an eco-friendly option since the manufacturing process of a container consumes an enormous amount of energy and raw materials.
A storage container is a great way to keep essential inventory, documents and equipment secure. It is ideal for storage of things that aren't used frequently and can be easily adapted with shelving or doors to meet your needs. They're also an affordable alternative to bricks-and-mortar structures, and offer a much more portable solution.
