What makes CONEX Containers Superior for Cargo Shipping?

CONEX containers, often referred to as CONEX boxes or shipping containers, are heavy-duty containers used to ship materials via sea, train or flatbed trucking services. At Service Transport Inc. in Greer, our partnership with Upstate Storage Rentals has provided our customers with a convenient way to ship cargo in a safe steel storage box. Additionally, CONEX storage containers are being widely used for other creative uses like food carts, working spaces, additional classroom space or tiny living.

Shipping Containers & Use Cases

CONEX containers were originally invented in the Korean and Vietnam war era when soldiers were looking for safe and sturdy ways to protect themselves and their assets. Now, CONEX containers are used to store heavy or precious cargo with protection from light and water. Not only are CONEX containers sturdy, but they are made from materials that can be re-used repeatedly, making them an environmentally friendly choice for shipping companies worldwide.

The shipping industry uses CONEX containers when shipping via ocean, train or with flatbed trucking services. Shipping containers are extremely convenient because they are efficient and standardized. CONEX containers have uniform dimensions, which allows them to be stacked on top of each other to make room for other forms of cargo and to make efficient use of shipping space.

Lastly, shipping containers are safe. Customers or shippers can rent and/or buy storage containers and label them with their company brand to ensure they are delivered to the correct place. Storage containers also have secure doors with the ability to provide your own lock so your cargo can only be opened with the proper key.
