Where There Is a Crowd There Are Containers – Storage Units for Large Public Events

Members of the public rarely think about storage challenges when discussing concerts, art festivals, sports events, or other public gatherings that bring together lots of people in a confined area. However, people working behind the scenes in this industry are under pressure to find cost-effective, secure solutions. Refrigerated containers can be used for all kinds of purposes, including storing a large volume of supplies, equipment, or other essential items on-site at set temperatures.

If you are not familiar with the role of containers in the event industry, here is a quick overview of their most important features and practical advantages:

What Types of Containers are Available for Public Events?

The two main types of storage containers that are frequently used for events are dry containers and refrigerated containers. Both types are very strong and secure as they are constructed from high-quality materials. The presence of a cooling system is the primary difference between them.

There are several different size models to choose from, starting from compact 10ft units and including more spacious 20ft and 40ft containers. Such a broad selection of containers allows a lot of flexibility and freedom when deciding how to use them at public events. All models are widely utilised in this industry.

Where to Place Containers at Outdoor or Indoor Events

Due to their shape and dimensions, refrigerated containers can be deployed practically anywhere. This is especially valuable when events are organised in venues that have limited capacities and/or bottleneck points. Refrigerated containers can be located outdoors on a flat terrain with a power supply, or housed indoors in a large space e.g. a warehouse.

Leased Refrigerated Containers are a Cost Effective Storage Solution for Events

By leasing storage containers on a short-term basis from a provider like Spacewise, organisers can reduce their liabilities by avoiding expensive alternatives while still ensuring stock is held securely on-site at the optimal temperature. Contact us for a no-obligation, free site survey.

Equipment delivery is good quality and clean. Commissioning (usually next day unless otherwise organised) is complete by suitably qualified engineers and an ‘operating’ explanation given to the end user.

In addition their after-sales support is very good, tech. offering advice and engineer if deemed appropriate.

We contacted Spacewise to supply us with 2 refrigeration storage units on behalf of the client and their bar supplier as a long hire during the peak season. We haven’t experienced a single problem with them and we have found the team to be helpful and reliable at all times. Happy bar company, happy client! They come highly recommended.
