Beyond Storage: Special Uses for Shipping Containers in Iowa
Shipping containers serve as excellent storage units for personal and professional needs, primarily because they are sturdy and easy to transport from place to place. But did you know that they also make great shelters, concession stands and control rooms? That’s right; there are several special uses for shipping containers in Iowa. We can’t list them all because there are way too many to count. But we’ve compiled a short list to show you just how diverse these big metal boxes truly are!
- Containers for Cold Storage – Many in the food and medical markets use shipping containers to keep their goods cool. At USA-Containers, we offer two different types of containers to accommodate this need. The first is your standard refrigerated storage container. These are commonly referred to as “Reefers” by members of the shipping industry, and they are great because you have complete control over the climate. The other option we offer is Ice-Cubz—our cold storage solution. This container is ideal for those always on the move.
- Containers for Small Businesses – Beyond restaurants and pharmacies, containers have also gained popularity among small business owners who use the item as space to both store and sell products. Some have even transformed the space into offices, bars and concession stands!
- Containers for Agriculture – Another industry that often uses steel shipping containers to serve its own unique purposes is the agriculture industry. Because these boxes are made out of strong metal walls that protect against extreme weather conditions, many ranchers and farmers convert containers into storage space for their crops and livestock.
