Most businesses dread clutter. It cramps the workspace, limits productivity, and generally slows down the day. Major design and workspace construction firm Jacobs found that the average individual workstation has shrunk from 80 square feet in 1992 to 39 square feet. With less than half the square footage than they used to have, workstations are at a greater risk of clutter than ever before. Luckily, a solution can be found in steel shipping containers.

No matter what type of business you have, you can benefit from a shipping or storage container. Whether it be for storage, specialty projects, or even a portable office, their uses never seem to run out!
Not sure about the comfort or function of working in a steel shipping container? While the name may make it sound industrial, it can be modified to be anything but. Some companies that sell storage containers also specialize in cargo container modifications, meaning that you can have them install doors, windows, skylights, locking mechanisms, shelving units and counters, and much more. They even specialize in climate-controlled containers. With complete control over the temperature of your steel shipping unit, there’s no need to worry about the temperature being too uncomfortable to be a workplace.
Utilizing storage containers is the modern way to expand workspace or take your business on the go. With businesses specializing in their customization and making sure they’re functional, there’s no limit to what your container can do. Whether you simply need a pop-up store or concession stand to a functional classroom or office space, the right company will be able to send you home not only with the steel shipping container but also with the guarantee that you’ll receive exactly what you need.
Not convinced that a storage unit can really suit your needs? There is a good deal of variation between steel shipping containers, so there is undoubtedly one perfect for you. The world’s biggest containers can be found measuring up to distances of 1,300 feet long — that’s the distance around an Olympic running track — and measure up to 180 feet wide.
It’s no secret that businesses are expanding. With changes in the economy and technology, the world is bound to see changes in the way business is done. However, with a growing population, workspaces have had to decrease in size, leaving plenty of businesses fearful of not having enough space. Cramped quarters mean stress on employees, mess, clutter, and an overall lack of productivity. With enough room, businesses can see an increase in production, organization, and efficiency. In order to have the most successful business as possible, you need to give it room to grow. Luckily, steel shipping containers provide all the space you could need with an added benefit of customization down to the minutest details.
