Portable storage containers are a great solution for this common problem, as they provide a convenient way to store your equipment and materials on the jobsite. In this first part of a three-part series, let’s take a look at how jobsite storage containers benefit roofers specifically.
Benefits of Jobsite Storage for Roofers
Portable storage containers are especially ideal for roofers, as their jobs are often dependent on the weather and can be interrupted by rain. Tarps only provide so much protection (and very limited security), while vans have limited space. Jobsite containers, on the other hand, offer greater capacity and security. Here are some of their other benefits:
- You’ll be able to start on the roof right away and work on site all day; no trips for supplies or equipment!
- There is ample storage space for your roofing items; you’ll likely only need one or two portable storage containers (click here to calculate how much space you’ll need)
- Your valuable roofing tools and equipment are kept safe and secure; they can also be locked up overnight.
- The storage container company provides quick, easy, and reliable transportation for the container to the next roof you’ll be working on.
- Your items can be left on site and ready to go in case of bad weather (like rain) creating an unsafe working condition on the roof.
Types of Roofing Items That Can Be Stored
Imagine being able to keep all the items you need close by in a storage container instead of having to drive (and waste time) to find them. Here are some of the types of roofing items that can be stored in portable storage containers:
- Shingles
- Chalk, gravel and asphalt
- Hammers, tackers and snips
- Caulking materials
- Nails and nail guns
- Brooms, rakes and ladders
- Safety harnesses
- Adhesives, sealants and cement
- Felt and plywood
- Jacks, cutters, tanks, generators, carts and kettles
- Hoses and lighting
- Tarps/plastic sheeting
