What are the advantages of using a portable storage container as opposed to renting a conventional storage unit?
Turns out, there are quite a few. For one thing, the secure storage comes to you! You can add items to the container at your own pace, and we’ll drop off and pick up the storage container according to your needs and your schedule. Plus, with a SMARTBOX container, you can transfer your belongings into the storage container while it is on your own property -- so you don’t have to worry about renting and returning a moving truck.
What helps to set SMARTBOX apart from other competitors is our easy to use PORTABLE storage container!
The size of our containers allows easier reaching and accessibility into the secure storage unit. Built eight feet deep, by seven feet tall, by five foot wide, our storage unit holds up to 3,000 pounds and can accommodate a room and a half of storage. This is ideal for storage because it allows you to store your belongings room by room if you like. An added advantage to this is that you only pay for the units you use and you will not be charged for unused space. The interior wooden structure provides added protection against rust and allows contents to breathe, preventing mold and mildew. SMARTBOX stores each unit in secure, temperature controlled storage facilities, ensuring maximum protection for your belongings.

We are new to being parents of a college student. We had no idea how much time and energy it takes just to get her set up in the dorm room! When we moved our daughter out of the dorm last year, we had to rent a truck on the weekend. It was raining and we were miserable. This year we used SMARTBOX and it was a breeze! She was able to pack the unit and SMARTBOX picked it up. We were free to spend our time on more enjoyable things!

What Fits in a SMARTBOX Portable Storage Pod?
When it comes to choosing a portable storage unit, size matters. You want a container that's large enough to accommodate all of your belongings but not so large that it's unmanageable or too expensive. That's where SMARTBOX comes in. Our portable storage pods come in a variety of sizes to fit most people's needs.
The average SMARTBOX pod is 8 ft deep, 5 ft wide, and 7 ft tall. Here's a quick rundown of what can generally fit in a standard SMARTBOX:
-
Furniture such as couches, chairs, tables, dressers, and beds.
-
Appliances such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers.
-
All types of clothing.
-
Most electronics, including TVs, computers, printers, stereos, and game consoles.
-
Many other possessions, including boxes of belongings, bicycles, holiday decorations, and more.
Whether you're moving homes or just decluttering a few rooms, our SMARTBOX is a great storage solution for you.
How Do I Know How Many Containers to Rent?
When you're ready to move or declutter your home, the first step is to determine how many SMARTBOXES you'll need. The easiest way to do this is to take an inventory of all the belongings you need to store. Once you have a list, you can begin estimating how much space will be needed.
Take accurate measurements of your belongings and consider how you'll need to arrange them in the box. For example, a couch will take up more space than a chair, but you may be able to fit two chairs side-by-side in the same amount of space as one couch. Also, be sure to take into account things that can be deconstructed. This could include items like beds, which can be disassembled into smaller pieces.
Once you have a good estimate of how much space your belongings will take up, SMARTBOX offers a variety of package options to choose from, so you can find the perfect storage option for your needs.
Do Portable Storage Containers Damage Your Property?
As long as the proper care and precautions are taken when placing and removing the container, they are perfectly safe for your property.
When setting up your container, place it on level ground to prevent it from tipping over. Ensure the container is far enough away from your home that it won't damage your siding or foundation if it were to tip over during the packing process.
On average, a SMARTBOX can hold up to 3,000 pounds, so items should be packed efficiently with that weight limit in mind. This limit helps prevent the container from tipping or collapsing under the weight of your belongings.
Overall, as long as you're careful when using them, portable storage containers are a safe and convenient way to store your belongings.
How Durable Are SMARTBOX Portable Storage Bins?
SMARTBOXES are built to last. They're made out of durable materials that can withstand being moved and stored multiple times. These portable storage options are ideal for people who move frequently or need long-term storage for their belongings.
Additionally, all SMARTBOXES are weatherproof and pest-resistant, so you don't have to worry about your belongings getting damaged by the elements or rodents.
How Far Away Can My SMARTBOX Temporary Storage Unit Be Shipped?
SMARTBOXES can be shipped anywhere in the United States. So whether you're moving across the country or just across state lines, your SMARTBOX can be shipped to your new location.
Additionally, our SMARTBOXES can be stored for long periods of time, so if you need to store your belongings for a while, you can do so without worry.
