You can talk to local agents who are familiar with your region as well as the storage containers and options in your area.
Certain containers are equipped with additional sub-sections of space within the main storage space called multistore units. They are popular with self-storage sites that need small storage spaces for various tools and equipment. Converting a standard shipping container to a multi-store is straightforward, and it is usually performed on site using standard lifting equipment such as landolls and sidelifters. The containers can be loaded on trucks for transport. These trucks typically use flatbed or drop deck trailers, and long-distance transportation requires a truck that has crane, such as tilt-deck or landoll trailers.
Easy to Move
Multistore Containers are able to be moved from one place to another with the help of flatbed trailers and cranes. This allows containers to be easily and quickly moved to the desired location on construction sites. These units can be used to temporarily store equipment and PPE for construction while the construction project is in progress.

Inquire about insurance for the contents of your container during transit and storage as well as whether it is covered under your homeowner or renters insurance.

Choose a business that can transport your container to narrow parking spaces or streets where other containers may not fit. This is particularly helpful for those who live in an urban area with restricted street parking spaces and permit requirements.
Easy to maintain
Whether the container is used as a living space or workshop, or as a storage space, it has to be maintained regularly. This can be done through the simple act of cleaning and by fixing any damage to the container. This will ensure that the container is in good condition and safe for use.
For instance the floor of a shipping container that is rotting or damaged can be easily replaced by a new piece of plywood. This involves removing the previous panel, and then either screwing or riveting in the new panel, depending on the way it was initially attached. It's important to make sure that the new flooring is the same thickness as the previous panel.
Containers wear out over time, just as other manufacturing equipment. More severe damages that do not permit continued proper usage will require a repair. The containers must be repaired in a way that guarantees transport security as well as dimensional accuracy and weathertightness (Germanischer Lloyd 1978).
If you want to make your container even more durable, you could add additional walls to the sides of the container. This will allow you to have more storage space as well as protect your belongings against the elements.
These containers can also be modified to have multiple doors. This is a great solution for self storage sites or construction sites that require smaller rooms to store various equipment and tools. Shipping container multi-stores can be the ideal solution for these needs without having to buy multiple individual containers.
