KEY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING YOUR COLD STORAGE PARTNER

Many companies of different kinds and sizes require access to cold storage facilities at least occasionally. There are several providers in the United Kingdom offering refrigerated containers for lease, so choosing the best partner for your business requires careful consideration. Here is a list of reasons why we believe we offer one of the best refrigerated leasing services across the UK:

Company History and Accomplishments

It is advisable to look into the past achievements of a possible storage partner. Naturally, companies that have been in business for a long time and have strong relationships with large corporate clients inspire more confidence than recently founded firms. There are also big advantages to working with a company that has direct experience in your industry and can demonstrate a history of success. Spacewise has been present in the UK refrigerated container market for several decades and continuously works with both global brands and small companies, we understand the challenges of both.

Availability and Pricing

Alongside ensuring you can lease containers on flexible terms, another essential factor is the availability of all advertised models, since a reputable provider should be able to quickly deliver any number of containers to almost any UK location. Those practical concerns deserve to be considered, but not to take priority over quality. After all, saving a little on price will be meaningless if the unit you ordered arrives late or its refrigeration system malfunctions. At Spacewise we have depots located across the UK and can provide remote monitoring systems to help ensure your products remain at the optimal temperature.

Technical Specification of Containers

It’s obviously key to ensure you lease a reliable container that won’t fail you in a critical moment, so take the time to read the technical specification and compare details between competing offers. In this way, you might discover seemingly small differences that make a functional difference. Learning the relevant details about the product range of each provider is a great first step in the selection process. At the very least, you can eliminate anyone selling or leasing containers of substandard quality from further consideration.

Quality of Customer Service

Finally, it’s more than reasonable to expect friendless, helpfulness and readiness to provide advice and assistance from your storage partner. While well-maintained containers usually behave very predictably, it’s still important to have a channel for resolving issues and answering questions should they arise, such as planning for challenging delivery requirements.
