Storage Containers

A Conex box - also called a storage container, shipping container or express container - is a pretty simple product at first glance: a big rectangular steel container, usually in a 20' or 40' size. But Conex boxes are incredibly useful in a wide range of industries including construction, retail, agriculture, mining, hunting, government, and many, many more.

If you're looking for a Conex box due to your specialized needs, it's always important to have all the knowledge you can before you buy. After all, that's just being a crafty consumer. Here are a few things to look for when considering new or used Conex containers:

• Is it water tight? Make sure you always check for deep rust spots or areas that have streams of light showing through. When you're inside a Conex box it should be completely devoid of light or interior rust.
• Are the floors in good shape? If there is any rotting or obvious recent repairs, walk away.
• Does the latch gear work? Not only should you be looking to make sure the bottom of the doors don't have any rust marks, the door latch is what keeps what you're storing inside your Conex box safe.
• Dents on the roof? If there are any dents on the roof, water could collect and rust through eventually. The roof needs to be completely flat.
• Size and surface? Conex containers normally come in two size variations - 20' and 40'. Depending on where you will be housing your container you need to make sure it will fit and that there will be easy access to it. A fairly level, smooth, and firm surface is required, and bear in mind a truck and trailer that weighs over 30,000 pounds will most likely be delivering your container.
• Special Needs? Conex boxes can be used for many things outside of straight up storage. They can even be used as office spaces! But if you're using it for more than basic storage, make sure that you find the Conex box that fits your needs. You may need modifications done such as doors, windows, and insulation.
• Company Guarantees? Make sure the company offers some kind of money-back guarantee.
• Future Moving? One of the most important things you need to take into account is whether or not the company will move your Conex container for you in the future, after their initial delivery.

Finding the best Conex box for you depends upon what kind of industry you're in and what you need it for. One example would be the construction industry. In this case, a Conex could serve as a portable, metal storage shed, or it could serve as an actual finished office environment.

Homeowners can even use Conex boxes to help move. Rather than hire movers, they could have a container delivered, load it up, and have it shipped to their next location where they can unload it.
