Is My Storage Container Secure?

September 13, 2018 by A.B. Richards

Is my storage container secure?When you’re looking to store your belongings for your home, business or organization, there is one consideration that stands out above all others. You want to make absolutely certain that everything you store is going to remain safe and not damaged. Security is the biggest thing you’re looking for when you rent a portable storage unit, and it’s a big reason why you should choose A.B. Richards for all of your storage needs.

A.B. Richards Has the Right Portable Storage Container For You

A.B. Richards has been in the ground level portable storage container business for more than 30 years. We’ve helped customers throughout the northeast find the storage solutions they need, and we can help you find the right storage container for you.

Our 20ft-storage containers are ideal for residential use, such as storing furniture for a renovation or for a small business looking for extra inventory space or if your business or organization is holding an event.  If you’re looking for more storage space for a larger retail operation or to store seasonal furniture and equipment, you might want to consider a 40ft storage container. Sometimes for even larger storage jobs like storing equipment at a construction site, you might need a little more room, so we recommend our 40ft Jumbo storage container with an extra foot of headroom. All of our storage containers are sturdy, secure, and we want to give you information about getting the most out of storage container security.

The Strength and Security of A.B. Richards Storage Containers

The first line of defense A.B. Richards provides for securing your belongings, is the sturdy build of our products. All of our storage containers are made of 14-gauge stainless steel. They’re durable, weatherproof and fireproof. They have thick metal walls and 1 3/8-inch hardwood floors. Our 20ft containers can support a maximum gross weight of 44,800 pounds, while the floors in our 40ft containers can hold a maximum gross weight of 67,200 pounds. The entrances to our storage containers are protected by two large swing-out doors.

According to ICC Compliance Center, a website devoted to workplace safety, one simple way to secure your storage container is with a heavy-duty padlock. You can get a heavy-duty lock from A.B. Richards. If you’re storing materials in an area you’ll be away from during nighttime hours, for example, if you’re a contractor and you’re storing equipment at a job site, it’s recommended that you build fencing around your portable storage unit. If you can, it’s also a very good idea to get lights and illuminate the worksite overnight.

A.B. Richards Makes Storage Safe and Convenient

One of the best ways A.B. Richards keeps your stored items safe is that we’ll deliver your portable storage units to wherever they’re needed. You don’t have to go all the way across town to retrieve your items while worrying if the storage facility is secure. You can keep an eye on your container as long as you need it and A.B. Richards will pick it up when you don’t need it anymore. Contact us today.
