Shipping containers are being used increasingly by retailers and companies as storage solutions for excess stock and product to help them manage the peaks and troughs of consumer demand and seasonal fluctuations.
Royal Wolf has a wide range of containers ideal for overflow storage, including everything from standard containers for dry storage and electronic goods, through to refrigerated containers and specially modified Dangerous Goods containers for hazardous materials.
One of Royal Wolf’s 40-foot storage containers can securely store 20,000 100ml perfume bottles, 14,400 bottles of wine, and around 800 flat screen TVs.
Because containers are weather proof and able to be located outside, it allows a business or retail operation to have increased storage capacity while still having product close at hand and not taking up valuable warehouse or office space.
Storage containers are also used widely in the agriculture and horticulture sectors to store surplus seed, feed and other products. =
