THE ADVANTAGE OF LEASING REFRIGERATED CONTAINERS

Containers with and without temperature controls are widely used across many different industries to store a wide range of good. There are several reasons why companies are increasingly embracing this mode of storage, including their mobility and practicality.

Thanks to flexible leasing terms from specialised providers Spacewise, containers can be conveniently leased on both a short and long-term basis. Here are some key benefits:

Leasing Containers Can Help Optimise Expenses

Even the most successful businesses must carefully control their operational expenses. Leasing the necessary number of containers to accommodate short-term requirements for cold storage is a savvy approach that eliminates the need to invest in additional brick-and-mortar space for seasonal peaks and keeps costs reasonable. Some companies lease refrigerated containers year-round, simply adjusting the volume to the current situation, thus paying only for space that has been monetised.

Reduced Responsibility for Assets

Permanent storage facilities can require ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and occasional repairs, so the expenses associated with them can be challenging to predict. Container-based storage can be leased on a project-by-project basis and returned when it’s not needed any longer. Smaller companies could potentially be financially burdened by building and maintaining traditionally built storage spaces that are not required all-year-round, but even large corporations can benefit by decreasing their liabilities while keeping the refrigerated storage capacities required on-hand.

More Flexible and Agile Business Model

In today’s ultra-competitive marketplace, companies with leaner business models have an inherent advantage. It’s tough to predict the volume and structure of business in advance, so enterprises that are more capable of adjusting are at an advantage. This situation often incentivises leasing rather than buying refrigerated containers, even for companies active in the lines of business where cold storage is an essential need.
