As possibly one of the most versatile items, a 20 ft shipping container has endless possibilities for helping organise your business. Although you’ve seen these large steel boxes all around, it’s understandable that you’re unsure how to utilise them to their full potential.
A 20 ft shipping container is the standard size with other varieties, including 10 ft and 40 ft shipping containers. Depending on your requirements, you may be in need of a 20 ft shipping container which can solve several issues regarding storage, accommodation and export. This article will outline the many ways you can use a 20 ft shipping container to improve your organisation and efficiency.
Secure Shipment Method
We can’t leave out the original intention for inventing the shipping container – secure and protected shipping around the world. As a vital component of the worldwide economy, shipping containers are used to transport goods across the world.
These items include clothes, meat, fruit, vegetables, appliances, and so much more. Most goods that come from another country have likely come through the port at some point.

You may be a business that has grown to develop a customer base in another country. Shipping containers are the building blocks for an effective international business. Built to handle any weather condition, rest assured your products will be protected until they reach their destination.
Effective Storage Solution
Perhaps one of the more obvious uses of a 20 ft shipping container is as a storage solution. Offering an immense amount of space per cubic metre, a shipping container would be able to store a large proportion of one’s home. Furniture, clothes and appliances can all fit inside and be secured via effective locking systems.
Additionally, you may be a small business owner and require a dedicated space for inventory. A 20 ft shipping container could be your most essential asset as a growing brand or established business seeking temporary storage. You’ll be able to keep a vast amount of your products within and enjoy the peace of mind of high-level security.
Shipping containers are exceptionally sturdy and secure. However, as these robust boxes are frequently shipped around the world, they need to be protected from the harsh elements of the sea and the land.
Temporary Construction Site Office
More often than not, you’ll likely notice shipping containers becoming more common at construction sites. Why is this, exactly? Shipping containers are robust and protective; the ideal option for an office at a very dangerous location. Easy to move, modify and install furniture, there couldn’t be a perfect setting for business-related tasks in a risky environment where heavy machinery and soaring heights are standard.
Furthermore, a shipping container can also be modified to work as an on-site lunch room or even a bathroom. As the perfect shell for a construction site, you’re not restricted to how you can use this container.
