The basics

What Is a Portable Storage Container?

Name: One Stop Moving & Storage
Price range: $$

A portable storage container is a weather-resistant, ground-level container that a company delivers to your property, lets you load on your own schedule, and then keeps on-site or hauls to a storage facility. Unlike a self-storage unit, it comes to you; unlike a moving truck, you never drive it.

Answers

Container FAQ

Are portable storage containers weatherproof?

They’re built to resist weather while sitting on your property, keeping contents dry and sealed.

Is it the same as a shipping container?

No. Shipping (conex) containers are steel boxes for freight. Portable storage containers are sized and built for household moving and storage, and load at ground level.

Do I have to drive it anywhere?

No — we deliver it and pick it up. You just load it.
