Refrigerated container hire can be used to store goods
Container hire can be used for many different reasons, one of which is to bulk store perishable items.
A refrigerated container is usually a standard shipping container – this will include the original aluminium t-floor, doors and machinery.
There are optional extras that can be fitted or may have already been fitted as part of a conversion or modification can include things like insulated butchers style cold room doors – these doors are easier to open and close and often have the option of an emergency release on the inside. Floors can also vary from the original t-bar flooring to aluminium chequer plate and resins.
Refrigerated containers offer a functional, weatherproof and extremely versatile way of storing your goods.

Shipping Containers used as “playpod” in school playground
An old shipping container in the playground of St Keyna School in Keynsham, Somerset has turned into a must-have item for pupils.
The school have used shipping containers to convert into a “playpod” for the young children at the school.
Rob Sandel, deputy headteacher of St Keyna Primary School, said: “The introduction of the PlayPod has been a tremendously positive development for our school. Our children have really enjoyed the opportunities it has given them to get involved in a very wide variety of imaginative and creative play activities.
The brightly painted Playpod, which contains fun and colourful materials designed to encourage children to play outside, is on loan from Bath and North East Somerset Council.

London Olympics’ have utilised transport storage solutions, particularly container hire
The London Olympic Games will begin in just 100 days – all the planning is nearly complete, with last minute hire of certain services extremely likely.
With millions expected to line the streets during the carrying of the Olympic torch, plus all the extra visitors and 70,000 volunteers – careful planning is vital.
Container hire of all varieties has provided a solution to the Olympic organisers and their contractors with the demand for transport solutions before, after and during the sporting event.
Containers have not just been used for transportation but also site accommodation, site canteens for contract workers and storage for all equipment and items that will be laid out for the opening ceremony.

Logistic and freight companies to transport container hire via railways
Most freight and logistics providers are keen to reduce their carbon footprint by using railways much more when transporting goods.
DHL, for example, will be using the rail network for consolidated freight containers which have to be transported from the transhipment facility in Bremen to the terminals of the different liner shipping companies in Hamburg and Bremerhaven.
Up to now, most of these containers were taken by road transport to the various sea freight terminals but by opting to keep goods off the road, the logistics company estimates it will be able to save approximately 365 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
The container hire redistribution facility in Bremen is one of Europe’s most important sea freight transhipment centres. It is the base from which around 7,500 consolidated freight containers are transported to the terminals of various shipping companies each year. With rail transport proving its efficiency in a trial phase, it will now be used regularly from the beginning of April 2011 onwards.

40 foot shipping container hire (or 30, 20, 10ft) – then transform them into a generator
New waste-to-energy technology can now be fitted within a shipping container to turn them into power generators.
The ‘MuckBuster’ relies on conventional anaerobic digestion technology to turn food, manure and septic waste into a useful biogas (methane) that is collected and stored in a low-pressure gasbag.
By fitting conventional anaerobic digestion technology and a gas collector into a 40ft shipping container, the £95,000 MuckBuster will become more appealing for use on a commercial scale. Customers are being told that they can recuperate the initial costs in two to five years, depending on the quality of the feedstock.
The MuckBuster has been designed to handle between 0.5 tonnes to 2.5 tonnes of waste – the smallest system requires half a tonne of food a day with the largest supporting up to 2.5 tonnes.
The technology is set to encourage businesses to make money from their waste. It could be used by supermarkets, hospitals, schools, hotels, with apartment blocks even in line to benefit.
You can now hire a container to save money on the disposal of waste and create power.
