DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STORAGE CONTAINERS AND STORAGE TRAILERS
The primary difference between storage containers and storage trailers is that containers are accessible without needing a ramp ladder or portable stairs. Applications requiring multiple vessels over longer shipping distances usually benefit from storage containers because they are stackable and can travel together.
Most storage containers are airtight and much more secure than storage trailers, offering increased protection from intruders and the elements. In addition, storage containers typically require less maintenance than trailers because of their superior durability. Containers are also easier to modify for customized applications, allowing users to add features like interior lighting, shelving, plumbing fixtures and more.
The biggest challenge with using trailers as offices or restaurants is they require stairs or ramps that are safe for employees or patrons. Trailers also endure high levels of wear and tear during transport, making them a less-than-ideal modular solution for applications requiring frequent moving.
