Explore the Impact of Rental Containers on Modern Storage Solutions

In the age of globalised logistics rental containers are playing a crucial role in the optimisation of storage solutions and in supply chain efficiency. These containers -from standard to customised units- are transforming the way companies handle their inventories and distribute their cargo.

The role containers play in maritime transport is especially important, where their standardisation allows efficient loading and unloading of container ships reducing waiting time at ports. This efficiency means a faster goods flow and lower shipment cost, which benefits exporters so much. A part from their role in maritime transport, containers are also used in land and rail transport, as well as in long-time storage at warehouses and depots. Their versatility and the fact that they can be stacked efficiently make them an ideal option for space optimisation, both in transport and storage.

In recent years technological advances have taken storage containers to a new level. Cold storage containers namely temperature-controlled refrigerated containers, containers equipped with tracking sensors and remote monitoring and even smart containers are transforming the industry allowing a real-time tracking of goods in transport.

In spite of all the benefits they offer, however, storage containers also pose challenges. Port congestions, available device shortages during high-demand season and the need of keeping the cargo together during transport are some of the issues that have to be addressed to guarantee their efficient performance.
