Ever wanted to know a little more about shipping containers ? Yes, there a great way of storing furniture and items in self storage, but did you know, shipping containers as we know them today were created around the end of the 1940’s to aid transportation of goods around the world.

There was a time when cargo was manually loaded and unloaded at docks. Shipping containers changed all that enabling fast and rapid transportation of goods no matter where the destination is. Our furniture container storage units are well over engineered for the job; weighing in at approximately two tonne, and capable of holding thirty tonnes (thirty small motor vehicles!!), and capable of withstanding the harshest weather conditions as these units were designed to be transported around the world on shipping container ships.
