Intermodal Containers

Mini storage

Problem - Mini storage needs to expand its capacity, but money is tight and zoning bylaws may not allow new permanent buildings.

Solution - Storage containers can be placed on a piece of industrial land at a far lower cost and less regulatory hassle than permanent buildings. This makes a very competitive mini storage which yields excellent returns and later can easily be moved should the owner decide to convert the land to another use. Many mini storage owners prefer new containers since their actual market depreciation rate is approximately 5% per year. Some personal storage operators prefer new 20ft containers with doors in each end and a center dividing wall to form two 8ftx10ft cubicles. 40ft containers can be fitted with roll up doors along the side and wall dividers to make five 8ft mini storage units.

• Low depreciation rate
• Eliminate Regulatory hassle
• Easy to implement

Construction, Plumbing and Electrical

Problem - Construction site needs Site Office and storage, but vandalism is a problem.

Solution - Construction, Plumbing and Electrical Contractors prefer used 20 ft marine containers for secure jobsite storage of tools and materials since containers are tough, inconspicuous and do not attract vandals. Sea-Can builds contractor site office units with lockable steel man doors and fully guarded windows. Some contractors prefer to have a first aid room in one end of the container and the superintendents office in the other. The new 10’s are great for excavations and downtown jobs where room is tight. We have recently received 6’ and 8’ mini boxes which should be ideal for sub trades who go floor to floor. Construction tool shed containers and site office containers are easily placed on a confined jobsite with a crane truck or tilt deck truck.

• Cargo Containers are harder to break into then many site buildings
• Small 6ft and 8ft containers can be moved around job site to where they are needed.
• Interior rooms and offices can be made to order.

Emergency Preparedness

Problem - Community emergency plan needs a disaster and vandalism resistant building for equipment.

Solution - Community associations have purchased containers for storage of earthquake preparedness kits at elementary schools. Sea-Can works with these customers to select high quality units, and arrange delivery.

• Inexpensive for the level of security
• "Temporary" building worked well with Zoning By-Laws

Chemical Storage

Problem - Chemicals cannot be stored indoors due to Fire-Code and/or Hazmat regulations.

Solution - Volatile Chemicals such as paints and fuels can be stored in Cargo Containers. This way they can be kept cool and secured.

• Improve safety by keeping dangerous materials outside your building
• Inexpensive secured building
