For many people, moving can seem complex. However, a portable storage container allows you to organize belongings safely and transport them to a new location. Below are a few common questions you may have about renting one of these units. 

A Guide to Portable Storage Containers

What’s the advantage over a traditional unit?

Often, a stationary unit in a storage complex is the first option people think of when they want to store belongings for a move. However, a portable unit saves you gas and time since you don’t have to drive back and forth from it. When you move to your new location, the company can deliver all of your possessions to the new home.

What unit sizes are available?

You can choose between 8, 16, and 20-foot units for your belongings. This makes the containers a suitable solution for anyone to use. Whether you have a single-bedroom home or a multi-story family house, you can load all items inside. It will also fit in standard size driveways, allowing you to load and unload them quickly, without damaging the surrounding landscape.

Will the belongings be safe?

You can lock each container with a personal padlock. They also have a tight seal that prevents insects and moisture from getting inside, protecting the container’s contents. When delivering and picking up the units, the trucks use the Level Lift System®. This does not tilt or drag the container, and it balances evenly to prevent shifting of belongings.

Is it hard to load large items?

While most people don’t worry about packing their clothes, cookware, and book collection, it’s the more significant items that are complicated. Each portable storage container has a roll-up door that is as wide as the unit, allowing you to load bulky items like furniture.
