Event Storage Solutions and Security

Whether you’re hosting a large-scale family reunion, concert, sports event, car show or mega party, you’ll likely need storage at the venue for the festivities. For a big event, container hire is the ideal storage solution for a number of reasons. Below we’ll explore: 

• The benefits of onsite storage 
• Why shipping containers are ideal for event hire  
• How event container hire works

The Benefits of Onsite Storage 

When you’re planning an event, it’s helpful to have all the equipment, tables, chairs, china, serving platters etc securely on site in the days before. This ensures you’re not caught out if the delivery truck gets a puncture on event day.

The added benefit is of course that you can inspect the hired equipment before the event, confirm it’s in good condition and make sure you’ve actually been sent the right order. Nothing is more stressful than realising you’ve been delivered the wrong equipment on the day you need to use it!

If you opt for event container hire, it can also save you time when you most need it. You’ll be able to brief your team of helpers on the equipment in the storage container in the days prior, making the process of setting up on the day much simpler. This is a better option than trying to coordinate numerous deliveries just hours before guests or customers arrive. Especially seeing as deliveries always have a habit of arriving at the same time!  

Why Containers are Ideal for Event Hire 

Shipping containers are designed to travel the high seas in all kinds of weather, keeping their contents safe and dry. So these babies are built tough. While other forms of storage might let you down, shipping containers won’t. When you consider the fact that over 90% of global trade is by sea* then you will understand just how well shipping containers have to be built. That’s partly why people now use shipping containers in a host of innovative ways, far beyond their original intended purpose.

Shipping containers are also obviously designed to travel on the back of trucks; their portability means they can be placed anywhere on the venue site that a truck can access. Unlike marquee tents, containers require absolutely no set-up, and they won’t blow over on windy days either! They are the perfect storage solution for events in any kind of weather.

If you work in event management, event container hire makes perfect sense because you can deliver the gear you need in one go and pick it up already packed, avoiding  double-handling. At Caboolture Container Hire we offer long term storage at our secure storage facility in Narangba, making our event container hire service ideal for event management businesses.

Depending on what you need to store, you can select from either a standard 10 foot container or a 20 foot one.
