Now for a little trivia ....
A shipping container for those who are totally oblivious to such things are often defined as meaning a standardized container designed for intermodel freight transport, which broadly speaking means they can be used to ferry goods and argo across different types of available transport from a ships at docks, to HGV's without unloading and reloading their cargo.
The reason shipping containers were invented was before some bright spark invented whats basically a metal box, goods had to be unloaded and re-loaded often by hand in the docks. However, by the 1970s, industry standards were created in order to enable a more consistent loading and transporting of goods globally.
In the world there are various sizes of shipping container units ranging from 10 foot upto 45 foot in length. However, Container Storage Carlisle have a handy range of sizes in stock, but industry standard 20 foot ones are far by the most popular size available for rental on our storage site.
