In the first part of this three-part blog series, we focused on the benefits of jobsite storage for roofers. This time, we’ll turn our attention to the world of contractors (plumbers, electricians, painters, etc.). Portable storage containers are a convenient way to store your equipment and materials on the jobsite and move them from location to location. Let’s take a look at the benefits of job-site storage for contractors, the types of contracting items that can be stored and how to find the best storage solution.
Benefits of Jobsite Storage for Contractors
Portable storage containers are great for contractors who move from jobsite to jobsite and have to work on a variety of tasks. You often don’t even know what tools you’ll need for the job until you get there, so why waste all that time with trips to find what you need? Have everything on hand with a storage container. Here are some of their benefits for contractors:
- You don’t have to wait to start working (or make trips for supplies); your container will be ready for you as you begin your day!
- Since most jobsite storage containers are spacious, you’ll have plenty of room for your contracting supplies (click here to calculate how much space you’ll need).
- Some contracting items are valuable, but you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe and secure in a sturdy, durable container. They can even be locked up overnight.
- Once you’re done, the container company can quickly transport your container to the next house.
- Your items can be left on site and ready to go in case of any complications during the job (flooding, surges, mold, etc.).
Types of Contracting Items That Can Be Stored
From valves and gaskets to filters and pipe extractors, contractors deal with a wide variety of tools, materials and equipment.
