• Can I Rent A Container From Eveon For My Jobsite?

  Eveon does not rent containers at this time. Eveon only sells used wind & watertight shipping containers. Are you sure that it wouldn't be more cost effective to buy one instead? Here some benefits to consider when making a decision. When you need the container for a longer period, buying the container is the most cost-efficient option for you. You pay more upfront; however, you will not have to deal with the monthly payments, part of the rental agreement. Any purchased container has a resale value. So even if you keep your container for (say) a year, you can sell the container again. This is a strong point to invest in buying a container. Another benefit of owing your own container is that you can modify the containers to you liking, add electricity, install a door or window, or even insulate your container, so you have a good place to work during the winter.

• What Is The Flooring In The Container?

  Container floors are typically constructed with marine-grade plywood, providing durability and moisture resistance. The floor features steel cross members, wooden floor joists, and treated plywood sheets. **Marine-Grade Plywood:** Sheets of marine-grade plywood, typically around 1 1/8 inches (28 mm) thick, are placed over the floor joists. These plywood sheets are treated to resist moisture and rot, ensuring their longevity. The installation of the sheets is typically done with their grain direction perpendicular to the long sides of the container. The specific materials used for the floor may vary depending on the manufacturer and intended use of the container. However, a common configuration consists of multiple layers: **Bottom Cross Members:** The floor structure begins with steel cross members that run perpendicular to the container's length. These cross members, spaced approximately 12 inches apart, provide the primary structural support for the floor. **Floor Joists:** Wooden floor joists are then attached to the bottom cross members. These joists run parallel to the container's length and offer additional support. **Fasteners:** To firmly secure the plywood sheets to the floor structure, nails or screws are utilized. Treatment and Coatings: Some shipping containers may undergo treatments or have coatings applied to the plywood to provide additional protection against moisture and pests. The combination of steel cross members and marine-grade plywood creates a robust and lasting floor that can endure the challenges of shipping while providing a stable surface for cargo. It is important to note that although marine-grade plywood is designed to resist moisture, it is not entirely waterproof. Additionally, alternative flooring materials like bamboo or steel may be used in some containers.
