*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
It is important that you choose the right container hire services to ensure that your needs are met and your money is not put into waste. To help you choose the right container for your needs and the company to provide your container, here are a few tips:
* Consider your location - It is more practical to look for a company that is close to where you are for prompt and cheaper delivery. There are some companies who deliver for free and some charge a smaller fee when you are nearer. It would be best to compare prices of several local companies to get the best offer.
* Check the company's reputation - All shipping container hire service providers advertise their company as the best, but it takes more than an advertisement to prove that it's true. A company who has been in the business for a long time already knows the ins and outs of the industry and they will not sacrifice their reputation which they built for a long time.
* Compare prices - It would be a great idea to shop around and compare prices so you have an idea of how much a shipping container should normally cost. Although the cheapest is not always the best option, knowing the prices of different companies will give you a better edge when asking a company for a better deal.
* ISO standard - If you are going to use a container for transporting your goods, you should conform to ISO standard sizing to avoid issues with transporters. If not, transporters may not be willing to move your container.
* Find the right size for your needs - Shipping containers come in various sizes, from 10ft (3.048m) to 48ft (14.63m) long, 20ft (6.096m) is the most common size available. Ensure that you have enough space to accommodate the shipping container. You should allocate at least 1.5 meters of extra space on all sides to ensure it fits.
* Consider the Grade of the shipping container - Used containers come in different grades based on their condition: Grades A, B and C. Grade A means the container is in a great condition, almost as new. Grade B means the shipping container is still in good condition. Grace C means the shipping container is in a fair condition.
Depending on how you are going to make use of your shipping container, you should also consider any repairs or modifications that will be done on the container. If you are going to use the container as storage, you may need to modify the door and purchase new locks for security purposes. If you will use it as an office, you should consider additional costs for electrical, heating and cooling installation, repairs and modifications such as additional windows or doors, repainting and adding the company logo on the container.
Various containers for hire offer a different price range for their shipping containers depending on their condition. There are times when the difference between a new and used container is not that huge, making the latter a better choice.
