Where can a warehouse from a shipping container be placed

Retired shipping containers can be placed practically anywhere with a sufficiently compacted surface – in a company facility, in a parking lot, near a production hall, in the yard of an agricultural property, in a storage area, or in more remote spaces where quick access to materials is needed while safely separating hazardous substances.

Before storing oils and lubricants, it is advisable to equip the container with a spill containment tray or shelves, which will facilitate handling and increase the safety of stored materials.

Advantages and recommendations for storing oils and lubricants in a container

• quick solution without the need for structural modifications
• possibility of adding spill containment trays, shelves, ventilation, or monitoring
• safe and separate storage of hazardous substances
• easy inventory control – clarity and organization

We recommend regularly checking the condition of the floor and door seals to prevent liquid leakage into the surroundings. For increased safety, mechanical locks or electronic monitoring can be added.
