Q. How is mobile moving and storing different from traditional garage-style storage?

A. With containerized storage, you do not have the same worries associated with traditional storage. Our containers are made of wood, which allows everything to breathe. In addition, we store them in a large indoor facility. The climate-controlled indoor facility makes for the perfect environment for storing household goods, electronics and documents.

Q. Are there any items prohibited to be stored in the units?

A. Yes, do not store any of the following items in your unit: flammable or hazardous materials, weapons, illegal substances, explosive devices, perishables or liquids! Example: When storing lawn equipment drain all gas and oils before storing.

Q. Are the units secure while on my property?

A. Absolutely! Each unit door is constructed in such a way, that it will latch tightly closed in three different places. The middle latch has a place for you to put your own lock. No Mobile Storage Solutions employee will ever ask for the key or combination to your lock. Since you (the customer) provide your own lock for the container, you are responsible for the container while it is at your location.

Q. How do I keep items from shifting during transit?

A. Packing your units is a simple task! Treat them just like you would a truck, minus the slippery metal ramp to navigate your way up and down. Remember that your units are only 4 inches from the ground. Place your heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on the top. Fill in as much empty space as you can and utilize packing supplies. Things like moving blankets and using the appropriate boxes are the single most important factors in a successful move. There are two metal "O" rings on each side of the container for you to use as tie downs to secure items that may shift otherwise.
