Regular inspection of your LSMS container is a must. Checking for issues like rust, leaks, and damage enables early detection, allowing you to be proactive and prepared if a problem arises. Taking 5 minutes out of your day to perform routine checks can save you time and money in the long run.

Shipping containers can rust, especially after rain, so make sure to diligently check for signs. If you do spot rust- don’t panic! Address these spots immediately by sanding the area down to the metal and applying a primer and paint. To prevent rust in the future, paint your container with high-quality, rust-inhibiting paint.

One of the most important things to look for during your routine maintenance checks is any signs of condensation- this could mean dripping from the roof of your container and signs of mold or rust. To ensure your container and stored items stay safe, establish proper ventilation to allow air to circulate and reduce humidity. This could mean moving your container to a different location or installing vents or a dehumidifier.

Additionally, you should inspect your container frequently for cracks or gaps, especially on the doors, as these can allow pests and water to enter and damage your valuables. Keep the door hinges well-lubricated for smooth operation, and check the integrity of the door seals. If the doors are not hinging correctly, try repositioning the container on a different surface. For a watertight seal, ensure all seals are replaced as needed.

With proper care and maintenance, your Lone Star Mobile Storage shipping container can last a lifetime. Regular inspections, proactive measures, and maintenance as needed can all assist in keeping your container, and your belongings, safe.?
