Shipping Containers for Archive Storage

Containers Direct can provide a low cost and convenient solution with our containers for archive storage

Many businesses struggle with the enormous amount of space taken up by paperwork generated in the office. Over time it can be a problem storing it all in your working environment, as more and more valuable working space is taken up with old files and cabinets. Therefore many businesses chose to look for alternative out of office storage options find shipping containers to be one of the best options on the market.

Secure your archive with an anti vandal container

Containers for archive storage are compact enough to be accommodated on most premises, and provide a high level of security. We know that security is one of the biggest concerns for our customers wishing to store paperwork and documents containing sensitive data. This is why we recommend choosing one of our anti theft and vandal units, made entirely from steel, and secured with a top grade padlock which is also guarded by a lockable metal box.

Pre assembled containers

If you are likely to keep your container in one place for a long period of time, we would recommend a pre assembled container. These start at just 6ft long, so you don't need to worry about wasted space or having lots of room to site a large container. Ply lining and insulation will protect your paperwork from moisture damage that can be caused by condensation in metal containers.

Anti condensation treatments

While ply lining is the surest way to completely banish condensation, shipping containers can be treated with grafotherm to repel condensation, and if you are not choosing ply lining we would highly recommend requesting grafotherm treatment for any container bought for the purpose of storing documents. A third alternative to the prevention of condensation is the Absorpole which is hung inside the container to capture moisture.

Self assembly containers

Mobile containers for archive storage are self assembly and can be taken up and down again for quick and easy mobility if you need to move your store to a different site - available in 2m, 3m or 4m lengths and a standard width of 2m. A range of optional extras including shelving, a ramp and castor feet make this product ideal for managing archive storage.
