Used Container Case Study
Take for example, Craig the butcher. Craig runs his modest shop in countryside WA and has recently won a promising 1 year shire contract to supply meat to all the local clubs for functions and events. Craig’s current meat storage facilities are suited to the steady demand of the town and would be inadequate for the new demands of the contract. Building a new cold storage partition on his butcher shop would stretch the budget, especially considering the contract is up for reassessment next year. A low cost, scalable, cold storage solution that he can remove or expand as needed would be ideal.
Considering the restricted budget, we would suggest Craig purchases a used refrigerated shipping container and has it modified to include personnel doors and a freezer partition where needed. Later down the track, Craig would have the option of selling it back to us or if he keeps the contract with the shire, having it painted to match his shop and making it a permanent fixture. Furthermore, Craig could generate revenue by hiring the container out as cold storage for remote events.
