A Guide to Portable Storage and How it Can Work For You

A Guide To Portable Storage

Portable storage is a popular alternative for people who are moving to a new home or relocating a business. It can also be useful when you need extra space to store the clutter during a remodeling project or other unexpected event. In this blog you will discover the ultimate guide to portable storage.

Contractors enjoy storing their materials in portable containers between jobs. Supplies are safe and easily delivered to the next job site.

Mobile Storage Solutions*offers a variety of portable storage unit options to suit a variety of needs. Whether you’re moving or need residential or commercial storage, we have an affordable solution that will work for you.*

What is Portable Storage

Portable storage containers are an affordable, flexible, and convenient mobile storage solution. They are large, secure, weather-resistance boxes that can hold everything from large pieces of furniture to small personal items. They can then be delivered to a self storage facility or to your new home or business.

These containers can work for residential or commercial moving and storage.

How Does Portable Storage Work

Mobile storage rental is easy and convenient. These containers are changing the landscape of the storage industry and can work for residential or commercial moving and storage.

Get Your Unit

The portable storage unit is conveniently delivered to your location. In most cases, you don’t even have to be present to meet the driver.

Pack Your Unit

With convenient ground-level loading, you can get your container packed in no time. If you need help with packing and loading, we can recommend local companies.

Store Your Unit

You can either keep your mobile storage unit at your location or in our secure warehouse. We offer both short- and long-term storage options at our secure warehouse.

Onsite Storage: We deliver a portable storage unit to your location, and you load the unit at your pace. When done, simply unload your belongings and notify us for pickup of the empty storage unit.

Offsite Storage: We deliver a portable storage unit to your location, and you pack it at your convenience. When you’re finished, we bring the filled unit back to our secure, climate-controlled storage facility. If you need access to your belongings at any point, give us a call and we’ll make sure your unit is accessible. When you’re ready to unload your moving container, we deliver it back to your location where you unload it and call us for the final pickup.

Move Your Unit

Moving with portable storage units is more convenient and affordable than hiring traditional movers or renting a truck for a DIY move. Portable storage units are delivered to you where you can load in your own driveway. When you’re finished, our drivers will pick up your storage container and either take it to an off-site storage facility or deliver it directly to your new address.

Benefits of Portable Storage

Versatility

The best thing about renting portable storage containers is that they are super versatile and can be used in various locations for various purposes.

You can rent them for a short- or long-term basis, and they stay right where you need them. Whether you need them for moving, extra storage, or home renovations, there’s always a container size that works. So, no need to worry about driving around to get your stuff, just rent a container and you’re good to go!

Mobility

If you’re thinking of relocating, portable storage containers are a great choice. Moving your belongings from a fixed storage unit to another city or county can be a hassle, but with portable storage containers, you won’t have to worry about it. We’ll handle the moving for you so you can relax.

Security

Most storage containers are well-built and weatherproof and designed to accommodate large padlocks and disc locks to keep your contents secure.

Affordability

When you rent portable storage containers instead of conventional storage units, you will spend less per square. Also, if the container is delivered to you, you don’t have to worry about paying for a moving truck’s mileage and rental fees.

Summary

Mobile Storage Solutionsis a simple, flexible, and budget-friendly option for residential or commercial storage. The portable storage unit is delivered to your home or business, where you pack at your convenience and store onsite or offsite. Take advantage of this easy alternative the next time you need moving or storage services.
