Homeowners benefit from storage containers during housing market low
During the housing slump, homeowners are using storage containers to save money.
Container hire is picking up while the housing market remains somewhat stagnant, using the containers as storage while prices pick up.
Homeowners are selling their houses and cashing in by downsizing. They are then putting their possessions into self storage before letting out their houses and renting smaller properties themselves until the market improves.

Why shelves are a good idea with container hire
When using container hire for storage, having racking or shelving fitted can make a huge difference in its suitability.
With large spaces, it can be tempting to just pile everything in, but you should bear in mind that it all will have to come out at some point.
This is why it is helpful to have everything stored neatly on shelves, making for easy access to your goods in the future.

Container hire security
When it comes to hiring a container, it is important to know that it is safe and secure to prevent theft.
When using a container for self storage or static use, a padlock is generally seen as the most secure and user friendly way of keeping the container safe.
A small padlock can be fitted through the TIR catch, however, most storage units will have been fitted with a lockbox or cowl.
The lock box is a steel shroud that is welded to the right hand door and, when both doors are closed together, a lug in the left hand door fits through a slit on the back. This allows a larger padlock to be fitted which helps prevent any tampering to the padlock by thieves. Lock boxes can be bought as a separate item and fitted to any container.

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.
