As municipalities are thinking more creatively with the budgets they’ve been handed, they are discovering the value and versatility of buying shipping containers from TargetBox. There are a ton of reasons to choose TargetBox over alternatives.

Here’s a short list of reasons why Ontario municipalities are embracing TargetBox containers more than ever before:

Storage and Operational Versatility for Every Municipal Need

TargetBox containers are incredibly multi-use. Ontario’s creative municipalities use them for everything you can imagine and more:

  • Secure storage of lawn equipment
  • Whitby recently contracted TargetBox to build a mobile office.
  • Emergency response hubs for disasters.
  • The Hamilton Fire Department also recently bought a TargetBox shipping container to help with their local emergency response.
  • Municipal construction sites often use shipping containers as temporary offices, break rooms and safety storage rooms.

Using a rectangular box as your canvas, use your imagination to customize TargetBox’s containers with windows, doors, electricity, insulation and more! They’re adaptable to any purpose.

Durability and Security

Ontario’s municipalities face harsh winters, humid summers and everything in between. TargetBox containers are built to withstand the elements. With weatherproof exteriors, insulation, heating/cooling and ventilation, we work to ensure that your valuables survive in all four of our challenging seasons. 

Plus, our containers are secure! Made of 100% CORTEN steel with customizations such as security systems, bars on windows and industry-leading locking mechanisms, you can rest assured that your contents are safe.

Cost-effective Storage Units and Front-Line Operation Centres

For budget-conscious municipalities, TargetBox offers an affordable alternative to traditional construction. Rather than investing in expensive buildings – and the lengthy time they take to build –  municipalities can rapidly deploy shipping containers as temporary solutions.

Supporting a Local, and Dare We Say – Amazing – Business

TargetBox is a proud Canadian company, and Ontario municipalities that want to support local businesses and deal with local professionals love TargetBox. 

With distribution locations across Ontario and even a streamlined TargetBox Express online platform, municipalities’ employees can order and modify containers with ease.

Customization That Meets Municipal Standards

TargetBox’s shipping containers can be painted, cut and branded to match your municipality and department’s aesthetics. This is particularly valuable for public-facing uses such as community projects or event spaces. 

We regularly undertake customization options whatever the municipal department: parks and rec, public works, planning, fire services, police services, transportation, economic development and more.
