säilytyskonteiksi

Säilytyskonteiksi, known in English as storage containers or shipping containers, are standardized intermodal metal boxes used for transporting and storing goods. Their standardized dimensions, originating from the ISO (International Organization for Standardization), allow for efficient handling by ships, trains, and trucks equipped with compatible handling gear. The most common sizes are 20-foot (TEU) and 40-foot containers, with variations in height and width also existing.

These containers are typically constructed from corrugated steel, making them durable and weather-resistant, suitable for protecting cargo during long-haul transport and long-term storage. They are designed to be easily stacked, maximizing space in warehouses and on transport vessels. Beyond their primary use in logistics, storage containers have found a second life in various applications. They are frequently repurposed as on-site storage units for construction sites, businesses, and individuals. Furthermore, their robust structure and modularity lend themselves to creative conversions into living spaces, offices, workshops, and even modular buildings. The ease of transport and availability of used containers have made them a popular and economical choice for these alternative uses.
