The Problem
What are the risks of using a used ISO shipping container for long-term storage?
Buying a used container means accepting a compromised asset that is often sold as-is. While a shipping container is usually rated “Wind and Watertight” (WWT), that’s not the same thing as clean and dry.
Common risks include:
- Contamination. Residue from previous toxic shipments, salt water, industrial dust, and chemicals from ocean travel can all linger inside of the container.
- Condensation & cargo sweat. Uninsulated metal surfaces lead to extreme temperature fluctuations, causing moisture to form inside. This damages inventory, documents, and textiles alike.
- Toxic flooring. Flooring can retain toxic residues that will eventually destroy sensitive items.
- Structural flaws. Dents. Cracked sealants. All of these flaws often guarantee leaks, which can lead to severe water damage.
Clean, Secure Storage Design
Good Modular Structures are a clean, non-toxic storage container alternative that protects sensitive inventory. They’re designed for people, not ports, ensuring a clean, dry, and non-toxic environment for your most sensitive goods.
Here are some of the advantages of choosing Good Modular Structures.
- New build integrity. We build our structures right here in Marysville, WA. They’ve never been used for toxic or trans-oceanic transit. Each unit goes through a Quality Control process prior to sale. Rental units are lightly used and rigorously inspected for damage and cleanliness before they’re allowed to pass into the hands of a new customer.
- Condensation protection. These units are fully designed to repel condensation and keep rain out, guaranteeing a dry environment for electronics, documents, and furniture.
- Safe interiors. We use marine-grade flooring that is easy to clean. The interior of the structure is safe, warm, and welcoming.
- Accessibility and security. Good Modular Structures feature easy-access lift panel doors or man-door add-ons, coupled with modern locking mechanisms designed to prevent break-ins.
- Visibility. All storage units come with 360° interior LED lighting, a standard feature which keeps you and your team members safe.
Insulated & Comfortable
Good Modular Structures solve the condensation problem through superior insulation. GMS insulation also prevents extreme heat or cold conditions from ruining inventory inside of the structure.
This is due to patent-pending composite aluminum panel construction. Thick, insulating polystyrene foam is sandwiched between sheets of durable #5052 aluminum, providing significant insulating power.
This ensures the days you move goods in and out of your storage unit don’t have to be miserable, and prevents the extreme temperature swings that can cause cargo sweat and moisture damage.
Adaptable & Scalable
Good Modular Structures make it easy to meet evolving storage needs.
- Need to organize? Ask us about add-ons like internal shelving, cabinets, and hanging surfaces.
- Need to scale? Our modular structures are stackable and linkable, allowing you to create customized layouts. You can expand your storage capacity without increasing your land footprint, a real asset for smaller operations.
Need to adapt your storage unit for other purposes? They make great temporary offices, first aid stations, break rooms, and more. Once you secure your structure it’s always there, ready to serve any need that might arise.
