Portable Office Storage Container: The Unit You Didn’t Know You Needed

Written by Marissa Morin | Sep 29, 2021

Nearly every company needs both office space and storage space, no matter if it’s in the form of a modified container or traditional building. Despite these common needs, many organizations plan for workspace and storage space individually – even prioritizing one over the other – but the ability to combine the spaces, into a portable office storage combo, is a game-changer.

Meet the Work & Store shipping container—a container office storage combo. The Work & Store is a single 40-foot container split into a comfortably sized office on one side and an easily accessible storage space on the other. Many people are unaware of the features and benefits of this uncommon container structure, so let’s uncover the reasons why this structure can change your business for the better.

Why A Portable Office Storage Container Will Benefit Your Business:

The Accessibility

At the most basic level, the Work & Store container is a great solution for those looking to prioritize accessibility. The duality of the single unit – one 40-foot container divided into two distinct sections – makes both office work and stored material immediately available. With simplified accessibility, comes improved efficiency. For example, if you’re on a construction site unloading tools and equipment on the storage side of the unit, you can step into a private office space to take a work call only a few feet away. You have access to everything you need in one container, right there on site.

The Portability

The Work & Store structure replaces both shipping container storage units and offices with one portable office storage container combo. The portability of the shipping container will allow your organization to relocate the structure to new worksites or just reposition it as needed. Relocation becomes even easier considering one structure holds both office space and storage space, which helps reduce transportation time—and often additional costs. No need to transport two containers when you can transport one and be done.

The Optimal Use of Limited Space

The division of a single shipping container unit helps make the most of limited space. If you’re on a small site or just want to maximize all available space, the opportunity to use one unit to meet multiple needs, versus two units, comes in handy. Not to mention the shape of the 40-foot container. It’s long and slim, making it the perfect fit to sit at the edge of a worksite or along the exterior wall of an existing building.

The Versatility

The simplicity of the dual-purpose structure creates an opportunity for versatility. Although the Work & Store container is intended to have a workspace office on one side and storage space on the other, the possibilities are endless. You have the freedom to utilize both sides to meet your business needs however you see fit in the moment. In the future, you can adapt the structure to meet new organizational needs as your business grows. No matter if the Work & Store is your company’s headquarters or just one supporting structure in your large operation, the versatility can be utilized to best help your organization.
