A large number of food and other products should be kept at a low temperature, else the products will decay or are more likely to get spoiled. While businesses are usually using refrigerators for storing smaller quantities, for larger quantities a REFRIGERATED CONTAINER is the preferred option. Additionally, if they wish to transport frozen or cold goods to another destination or deliver to a customer, a frozen container is used. Businesses would like to find out how much a refrigerated container will cost so that they can decide if they wish to purchase it. In reality, the cost depends on a number of factors which are discussed below

Rental or purchase

The cost of a refrigerated container depends to a large extent, on whether the business wishes to purchase the container or lease it. This depends to a large extent on how frequently the container will be used by the business. If the container is used only once a month or less frequently, it will be economical to rent it. On the other hand, if the container is used almost daily, it will be cheaper to purchase it. The container seller can help determine the breakeven point for purchasing the container, depending on usage.

Used or new container

Since containers are transported over long distances by ship, rail or trucks, they are likely to get dents and scratches. Hence containers which are used for a longer period of time are usually far cheaper than new containers. Hence if a business is only using the container for transporting from one place to another, they can save money purchasing a used container, and repainting it. On the other hand, if the container is being kept in front of the office or shop, a dented container will adversely affect the image of the business, hence it is better to purchase a new container.

Size of container

Like other containers, the business can choose from refrigerated containers of various sizes. In addition to the higher initial investment required for larger containers, the maintenance cost of these larger containers is also higher since they consume more power for cooling. Hence it is advisable to purchase a small 6-meter container initially and can lease the large containers depending on the specific order or delivery requirement.

Remote monitoring

Since the container and its content are expensive many businesses prefer to purchase containers with a provision for remote monitoring. The location of these containers and temperature inside the container can be also tracked. However this service will add to the cost of the container, and it is advisable to ensure that the service provider is reliable.

Transportation

Another major factor affecting the cost of a container will be the expenses incurred in transporting the container from one place to another. It should be noted that the transportation costs depend to a large extent on the size and weight of the container, with larger containers likely to have high transportation expenses

It should be noted that the refrigerated container is not designed to freeze items kept in it, it will only ensure that frozen items kept in it remain at the required temperature. Hence it is important to ensure that container with optimal size and rating should be selected.

Many families in Canada have considered having a Spaza Shop to supplement their income. However, the success of the shop depends to a large extent on the location of the shop, since people will usually purchase items from the shop which is closest to them. At present most shops are conventional shops made from brick and mortar. However, these shops are fixed, so it is not easy to change the location of the shop without spending a lot of money. To avoid this problem, so that shop owners have greater flexibility in choosing the shop location, families and others should opt for Spaza Shop Containers which can be easily moved from one location to another depending on market conditions.

Often due to the construction of a new road, railway station, bus stop or other structure, the number of people visiting a particular area will increase significantly. In some cases, this new construction may also adversely affect the footfalls in other areas, causing losses to the shop owners in that area. So shop owners who wish to shift the location of their shop based on the number of visitors in a specific area will find the Shipping Container Spaza shop very convenient since they easily move it from one place to another without spending much money. The container shop is also strong since the containers are designed for use in tough conditions.

These container shops can also be used in popular tourist locations since in many areas, there are a lot of visitors during the peak season and the number of tourists declines during the off-peak season. These container shops can be easily and quickly unfolded to form a shop when required and have all the amenities found in a conventional shop. When not in use, at night or on holidays, they can be packed into their original container form and locked. This ensures that all the goods in the spaza shop are secure and will not get tampered by robbers and others.

The container spaza shops can be made from used or new containers depending on the budget of the customer. Since some land is required for placing these shops, they are more suitable for rural areas and small towns where the property rates are lower. If required, the containers in the shop can be stacked on top of each other. The shop can be designed so that it has a number of storage racks, where the different items being sold can be placed. The shop can be designed like a conventional shop, with a shutter on one side, which can be opened, when required, and locked when not in use.

Whenever you need extra space to store some of your items, it is best to invest in an external storage unit. Most people rush to build a garden shed. However, there is a better option that you may not have in mind. You can use a shipping container for your long term, and short term storage needs. They are widely available and function better than storage sheds. Below is more information on why shipping containers are better than other storage options:

1. Durability

Most storage sheds are made of fiberglass, wood, or plastic. That can warp, rot, or tear within a short period. Shipping containers are designed to transport different types of goods around the world. They are made to withstand all kinds of weather. So, a used container is likely to last longer than any other metal shed. It is a safe space to store your belongings in all seasons. All you need to do is ensure that the container is in good condition before purchasing it. It should have no leaks, rust, or cracks. It must close tight to protect its contents against water, dust, pests, and insects. Buying one from a trusted dealer assures you of high-quality.

2. Security

It is vital to ensure the safety of your goods in storage. Storage sheds wear out fast and become weak. That makes them easy to break. Shipping containers, on the other hand, have doors that form tight seals. They are constructed with sturdy steel that is hard to cut through. The vessels keep their contents safe from destruction by water, dust, insects, and pests. That makes them burglar-proof. In addition to that, you can alter them to include extra security features.

3. Flexibility

You can alter shipping containers to suit your storage needs. That is by adding shelves and other structures to optimize efficiency. Moreover, there is no limit to the nature of items which you can store in a shipping container. That ranges from furniture, power tools, machinery, vehicles, and fresh produce. All you have to do is ensure that you buy the right container for your needs. They come in different sizes, and you can change the container’s position when the need arises.

4. Affordability

Besides the initial cost of a storage shed, you need more funds for its construction. The price of a storage shed determines its quality. You will need to invest a lot of money for a durable, high-quality one. After purchasing a shipping container, you do not need to spend a fortune on its installation. You also do not spend much on maintenance. It only requires regular inspection to ensure that it maintains its good condition, That saves your money in the long run.

5. Shipping containers need little to no work

Unlike storage sheds, you can use shipping containers with little to no adjustments. You can move your items into the container immediately, depending on what you need to store. Adjusting the container for particular goods is still cheaper and requires less time than constructing a shed. You need to keep it elevated and install a roof to ensure that rainwater flows fast. That keeps it safe from destruction by elements that promote rusting.

If you need safe storage space, you should invest in a shipping container. It is a flexible and affordable option that requires little to no adjustments. Its mobility makes it suitable for your long term and temporary needs. Used containers work as efficiently as new ones. It is crucial to inspect the used container to ensure that it is in good shape. With that, you can keep your precious items safe for longer.

Recycling of shipping containers is at an all-time high and they go on to serve greater purposes than the original purpose in the transportation industry. One of the best repurposing ideas of a shipping container is in mobile toilets. These ablution containers come in handy for both organizations and individuals that require onsite and offsite ablution services. The ablution containers by Lumatax Containers Inc can be used independently without any external services and has, all the utilities of the typical ablution unit including a shower, urinal, wash basins/sinks, toilet etc

Turning shipping containers into creative and sustainable homes is very popular overseas and the trend is starting to take off in Canada too, as more and more local architects start realising the potential of what can be achieved.

The most common misconception surrounding the idea of container living is that they are big, ugly and shabby, but this couldn’t be further from the truth! They can be incredibly sleek, stylish and practical – and that’s just one of many benefits!

Advantages of container homes

• Park homes are ideal whether you are starting out as a first-time homeowner, or looking to downsize or retire. They can be modified to accommodate just one person or an entire family.
• In SA, the average house costs approximately R1 million. With shipping containers, a starter home can come in under R100 000!
• Once installed, container homes are easy to maintain at a low cost.
• Containers are demountable and transportable, so they can be relocated anywhere, anytime – this also makes them a viable instant space solution for social housing requirements and disaster relief accommodation.
• Can be manufactured and customized to fit your exact requirements.
• Due to being made from recyclable items, container homes have very little impact on the environment and is energy efficient. Homeowners can “go green” even further by installing solar panels, as well as insulation.
• The structures are tough, weather-resistant, and vandal-proof.
• They provide good air circulation.
• You can easily up-scale your housing space; all you need to do is add additional converted containers

What you should know about container homes in Canada

• Container homes in Canada still need to comply with building regulations. Therefore, similar to building with bricks and mortar, full architectural plans with council approval are required.
• Most banks won’t finance them, so you will either need to pay cash or take out a personal loan.
• Municipal permits are required for permanent fixtures. And considering the involvement of plumbing and electrical elements, you will need the relevant municipality to issue you with the correct documentation.
• If your container home is a non-permanent fixture, the applicable permits could vary according to your non-permanent building method, and alternative electricity and plumbing options. Either way, always check with your local municipality before you commence with building a container house.
