When you need secure, flexible storage, whether for personal belongings, business inventory, or seasonal overflow, a shipping container from Mobile Storage Solutions is often the most efficient, cost-effective, and reliable solution. Here’s why our containers stand out from the rest:

📦 On-Site Inventory & Wide Selection

We always keep a broad inventory of shipping containers on hand - including a variety of sizes (20-ft, 40-ft) and conditions (new, or refurbished- depending on your needs and budget). This means when you call us, chances are good we already have a container ready for you without long wait times or backorders. Having inventory on site lets you inspect options in person, choose what fits best, and move quickly when you need space.

👀 See It in Person - Schedule a Walkthrough

We understand that storage needs are unique. That’s why we encourage potential customers to schedule a visitand walk through all available container options, so you can visually inspect condition, size, and features before committing. This helps you make an informed decision - no surprises, no hidden flaws.

🏢 All Operations In-House - Exceptional Customer Service

From delivery to pickup, all container operations are handled by our own team. That in-house control means faster response times, consistent service, and accountability you don’t get when third-party subcontractors are involved. If you have questions, need a different size, or want to extend rental, we handle it directly - not via a middleman.

💰 Multiple Price Points & Flexible Options

Whether you need a high-quality container for long-term use or a budget-friendly option for temporary storage, we offer containers at a range of price points. This flexibility ensures you can pick a container that matches your storage needs and budget. Plus, you have the option to rent short-term or purchase for long-term ownership — whichever suits your project.

🔒 Built for Real-World Needs: The Inherent Advantages of Shipping Containers

Beyond our own business practices, shipping containers deliver powerful, built-in benefits that make them ideal for many storage needs. Some of the most important include:

  • Strength and durability: Made from heavy-duty steel, shipping containers are built to withstand harsh weather, secure loads at sea, and resist forced entry - making them significantly more robust than typical storage sheds or temporary structures.
  • Weather- and pest-resistant: Containers are weatherproof and rodent-proof when properly sealed - ideal for long-term storage of tools, equipment, inventory, or personal items that need protection from moisture, wind, and critters.
  • Low maintenance, high value: Containers require minimal upkeep over their lifespan, and when you buy one, you often avoid recurring monthly rental fees - making them a cost-effective long-term investment compared to renting or building a dedicated storage building.
  • Portability & flexibility: Shipping containers can be delivered, relocated, or retrieved as needed, which makes them great for construction sites, seasonal business inventory, or homeowners whose storage needs may change over time.
  • Scalable for business needs: For businesses that grow, shrink, or have fluctuating inventory, shipping containers provide on-site storage that scales easily - add more units as needed without expensive construction or long-term leases.
