Storage containers can be used for a wide variety of different functions. This can range from the normal storage of goods to portable accommodation, schools and even hospitals.

However, in this blog we shall explore some of the characteristics which govern self storage containers which are climate controlled. The primary function which these specific type of containers have is to prevent dew and mold from infiltrating the area and thus keeping it’s contents fresh.

It is a common misconception that controlling the temperature of the container is fundamentally more important that regulating the humidity levels. In fact it is the humidity which plays the dominant role in storing a range of different products.

It is usual that the humidstat will be set at a relative humidity which does not exceed fifty percent, whilst the most frequent range in temperature within the container will be between fifty and eighty degrees. Certain containers even have designated areas where products which require special attention, such as wines and liquors can be stored.

Refrigerated Containers operate in much the same manner, but restrict the temperature within the structures, to reflect the needs of the products. For example, produce which can easily deteriorate, such as vegetables and meat need to be stored in very low temperatures to ensure that they are kept fresh for as long as possible. This is exemplified when considering the fact that a good proportion of these types of storage containers will be used to accommodate these products for a fairly long time span.
