Shipping Containers

The Real Truth That Shipping Container Self-Storage Companies Hope You Never Find Out.

The Real Truth That Shipping Container Self-Storage Companies Hope You Never Find Out.

Just 1.5% of Masterton Self-Storage’s storage lockups are shipping containers. The 98.5% balance are proper purpose-built storage lockup rooms – built the same way as a modern house – and there is a very good reason for this.

Our advice is; if the stuff you propose to store is of any value to you do not use shipping containers for storage. That is because of the risk of stuff getting damp from condensation on colder days and overheating on hotter days. See the droplets of water in the photo here? They are from condensation. To make a wise decision and for more information on condensation in shipping containers read the section below of this article. Here is a good test; just ask any shipping container storage company these questions, “Will you guarantee my stuff will not get damp or overheat if stored in your shipping container”? If they say, “Yes, we guarantee it” ask them to put it in writing and more importantly how they will compensate you if they are wrong.

Shipping Container are just that, containers used by shipping lines to ship stuff around the world. Stuff transported in shipping containers is usually only inside them for a few months at most. Some manufacturers product products like this in this image specifically to capture moisture in shipping containers – to reduce the risk of stuff getting damp from condensation. But the problem is, these products are so efficient at attracting moisture that they can suck moisture-laden damp air from the outside to the inside. That is because shipping containers are not airtight – they do have vents albeit very small ones.

Some furniture removal firms will offer to help find storage for your stuff but often they are looking for the quickest and easiest solutions for themselves – which unfortunately for your stuff could mean a shipping container. Therefore, if your stuff is of any value to you do your due diligence on where it is going. As previously mentioned, if your stuff has limited value or can take a bit of dampness a shipping container can be an ideal solution.
