Have you ever wondered what those large steel containers you see on ships, trains, and trucks are called? In many industries, these structures are known CONEX boxes. Even though they are commonly referred to as shipping containers, these units can serve a variety of purposes. In fact, the term "CONEX" is a blend of “container” and “express,” which reflects the unit's purpose as a reliable mode of moving cargo. So, if you have unmet storage needs, this may be a suitable solution for you or your Central Kentucky business.

Here at A1 Portables, we can help you find just what you've been seeking. In this blog, we will take a closer look at what makes these structures unique and how you could make the most of them if you decide to bring them onto your property.

1. Versatility

So, what is a CONEX box? As previously mentioned, CONEX boxes are useful well beyond just transportation needs. While they are primarily used for shipping and logistics, they can also be used for on-site storage solutions. So, whether you need a temporary storage unit for a home renovation, a place to store the inventory for your business, or a portable solution at your construction site, these will work perfectly.

2. Customization

When it comes to ground-level portable storage containers, they can always be personalized for you. For example, we offer both new and used containers. On top of that, our sizes range from 8’x10’ to 8’x45’. Our smallest container features a single door at one end, while our larger options have doors at both ends. This provides built-in flexibility when it comes to usage.

You can also determine which door type is necessary to get the job done. We offer both traditional hinged doors and easy-to-operate roll-up doors. Plus, you can outfit them with the lock that you feel the most comfortable with. Not to mention that you can tailor the interior in a variety of ways as well, including adding shelving, electrical outlets, lighting, and more.

3. Durability

Created out of steel construction with wood floors over steel cross beams, these units are certainly built to last. Therefore, you will never have to worry about how they will hold up over time. This will help you have a worry-free experience from the moment that they are put into place to the day that they are removed. This sturdiness ensures that the contents are always protected from elements such as water, wind, and pests.

The impressive construction also guarantees that each CONEX box will remain intact, even during transportation.
