Who Can Use Shipping Containers in Idaho?

With a diverse use of shipping containers, let us look at some of their industry-specific applications that will benefit businesses in Idaho.

• On-site construction - Construction makes up over 6.9% of Idaho's GDP, with about 3.2% of the population working within the industry.

As such, there is a significant need for storage containers. You can use them to store valuable documents and expensive tools on a construction site or use the container as a temporary office, guest room, and recreational room.

• Industrial - If your office is undergoing expansion, you can use a shipping container as a temporary office or storage space. It blends in perfectly with the professional landscape of your campus.
• Petrochemical - Idaho has become the 31st state in the US to produce hydrocarbons, with more exploration in progress. Often oil, gas, and petrochemical industries operate in harsh environments. Stainless steel storage containers provide you with the durability and safety that you need. Use them as temporary offices, storage, or even emergency first-aid rooms.
• Retail - According to the National Retail Federation, Idaho has over 25,000 retail establishments. It is one of the highest contributors to Idaho's GDP and employment, creating a demand for more storage containers. You can expand your shop's storage capacity without new concrete construction. With these portable storage units at lower relocation expenses, you can quickly shift the shop to another location in the city or state for better business opportunities.
• Education - Three universities, four regional colleges, numerous private institutes, 105 school districts, and 62 charter schools only increase the demand for shipping containers in Idaho. If you are renovating or expanding the campus, shipping containers can be an excellent solution to run the classes uninterrupted.
• Healthcare - You can use portable shipping containers as temporary first-aid centers, patient admittance checkpoints, and storage for medical supplies, beds, wheelchairs, and other equipment.
• Agriculture - According to Idaho's state department of agriculture, 18% of the state's GDP comes from its farms, with food and beverage processing being the second-largest industry in the state. Our high-security storage containers are great for storing expensive farm equipment, tools, and machines.
• Government - Government offices and military establishments can rely on our high-security containers for storing sensitive documents and expensive equipment.

There are other innovative ways you can use shipping containers as well. This includes affordable housing, restaurants and cafes, garages, theaters and bistros, hotels, workshops, art galleries, saunas and swimming pools, vacation homes, laboratories, student housing, and bars.

How MMPS Helped Its Clients Set Up a Shipping Container Office in Idaho

A utility contractor in Idaho collaborated with Mobile Modular Portable Storage (formerly Design Space Modular Buildings) to purchase a 20-foot shipping container. This custom-built unit is an insulated office furnished with a security door, HVAC, interior mounted electric panels, and a control cable entrance.

The client uses the container as a control house at a substation in Idaho. Known for our on-time delivery, Mobile Modular Portable Storage delivered the unit within two months after receiving the design.

Benefits of Using Shipping Containers

• Environment friendly - Industries are increasingly looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Shipping containers are easy to set up without damaging the site or the landscape. Instead of retiring the container to a landfill, we are refurbishing it for more extended use.
• Durable - Stainless steel shipping containers can withstand sea winds, rains, and arctic temperatures, thanks to their stainless steel construction with a protective coating. They can last for years in your industry application.
• Water-resistant - A container is resilient to water damage. There is very little maintenance required, along with a regular inspection for rust. This helps keep your valuables safe in wet conditions.
• Safety - Keep your expensive equipment or valuable documents safe with high-security shipping containers that come with secure locks and double doors.
• Easy transportation, loading, and unloading - It is easy to load containers on and off a tilt bed truck due to their modular nature and standard box size. It is also easy to stack multiple containers onsite.

Storage Containers for Rent in Idaho

If you need a container for less than 2 or 3 years, or even up to five years, we suggest you rent. Renting gives you the flexibility to use the container for as long as you want, move it to a different site, or return it.

Things to Consider Before Renting a Shipping Container

• Budget and rental duration - You should consider renting the container if you have a short-term requirement or are unsure of how long you will need the container.
• Physical condition of the container - Used shipping containers have traveled and carried cargo on ships at sea. Before renting, we suggest that you inspect the container thoroughly to see any signs of significant damage or rust.
• Local permit requirements - Most local municipalities have guidelines for placing shipping containers on a commercial or residential property. We suggest that you check the policies for planning permission in your area.
• Site preparation - You need to have a flat surface, sturdy foundation, no overhead obstructions, and enough space to load and unload a container on your site safely. Typically, your site should have at least 3-times the length of the container for a tilt bed truck to unload it.
• Shipping container supplier - Your supplier should be professional with competitive costs and a wide range of inventory. At Mobile Modular Portable Storage, we give you numerous benefits that set us apart.
