•  You can store your things at your property. With mobile storage, we can bring your storage container directly to your property and leave it there for as long as you want. While there are some benefits to keeping your storage container at a facility, being able to keep it on your property ensures that you won’t have to travel every time you need to put something in the unit or take something out.

•  Mobile storage eliminates the need for a moving truck. Moving trucks can be very expensive and difficult to work with, but mobile storage is more flexible, and it can replace your need for a moving truck entirely.

•  You can control the timing. With our mobile storage, you can pack your unit whenever you want to, and then we’ll come to your property when you are ready for your storage unit to be moved. Once your storage arrives at its new location, you don’t have to start unpacking immediately. You don’t even have to unpack it at all if you don’t want to.

Here are a few reasons why on-site storage is great for movers:

• Keep your belongings close- On-site storage allows you to keep your belongings in a safe place outside of your home that is still nearby. This means you can access your storage unit and anything in it immediately. It can be incredibly annoying packing something and then realizing you still need it, but at least you won’t have to drive back and forth between your house and a storage facility.
• Pack at your own pace- With a regular moving truck, you might have to load all your boxes, furniture, and other items all in one day. However, with on-site storage, you can load your possessions at your own pace. This means you can start loading the container ahead of time or take as long as you need to finish the job.
• Declutter while you sell your home. If you are trying to sell your old home, removing your clutter and possessions will make your home more attractive to buyers. On-site storage will keep all your things safe and close while keeping them out of sight.

Now that you know you have a choice, you may be wondering whether you should buy or rent a storage container. To help you weigh your options, we have provided a few questions you should consider before you decide which option is right for you.

• How long will you need it? Lots of people only need a storage unit temporarily while they get other details of their lives in order. If you only need extra storage for a few months, your best option will be to rent a storage container, but if you will need it for a year or more, buying a storage container may turn out to be the better option.
• Is it for a business? If you need extra storage for your business, that may affect whether you should buy or rent a storage container. For instance, if you need to store equipment you use regularly and protect it from the elements, buying a storage container will be in your best interests, but if you only need to store things during certain seasons, it may be better for you to rent a storage container during those months.

No matter what you are using it for, commercial storage can be extremely beneficial to your business. Here are three benefits:

1. Affordability- Renting a space to run your business can be very expensive, and you may not have the funds you need to expand into a larger space. Instead, you can save a lot of money by storing things you don’t need every day in a commercial storage container.
2. Organization- Having too many items in your store location can be a turn-off for customers. Customers not only want to visit a clean, tidy store, but they also want to be able to find what they need easily, so having adequate commercial storage will encourage them to be returning customers. In addition, the extra storage can make it easier for you to keep track of your inventory.
3. Security- Obviously, you want to keep your products and other items safe. Commercial storage containers can protect these items from the elements, and because they are made of strong materials, like steel, you can rely on them.

At SOS Storage On Site, we have some excellent commercial storage options with our portable containers. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Here are three situations in which a self-storage unit can be invaluable:

1. You are getting ready to move. Moving out of your old home and into your new one is challenging on every level, and one of the hardest things about it is packing your belongings. Instead of piling boxes of your stuff in a designated room, making it difficult to walk around in there, you can use a self-storage unit. This is also a great solution if you have buyers coming to look at your home because they will be able to envision themselves living there without being distracted by your belongings.
2. You are preparing to renovate or remodel your home. Renovating or remodeling part or all of your home is a time-consuming, stressful process. You may not know where to store your possessions while you are working on your home, and your stuff might get in the way. But with a self-storage unit, you can make the process easier on yourself.
3. You are a college student going home for the summer. When you are in college and you are returning home for the summer, you acquire a lot of new possessions that you won’t necessarily need while school is out. For instance, transporting your furniture, kitchen appliances, bedding, or winter clothes would be pointless since you won’t need them at home, so you should consider storing them near your school while you are away.

At SOS Storage On Site, we offer convenient storage containers that we can bring to your property for you to fill up, and then you can either store the container on your property or in our lot. We make self-storage easy! Give us a call today to get started.

• Convenient location: It doesn’t get more convenient than having your storage container right next to your commercial facility or home. Or you can keep your container in another place that you know well and can reach without too much of a hassle. You already have enough going on without having to worry about your storage– and now, you don’t have to!
• Easy access: This goes along with the benefit of convenience, but convenience has another bonus. Keeping your storage container in a convenient location allows you easy access to retrieve any possessions you need or quickly pack away more things that are taking up space.
• Flexibility: Overall, you can enjoy the flexibility that having storage off-site brings. We offer varying sizes and transportation options for our storage containers. You can choose the plan that will work best for you, which can then allow you to stress less about your stuff.

If you’re looking for off-site storage, we’re your guys! Contact us at SOS Storage On Site today for more information.

• Pack at your leisure: Unlike traditional storage options, you don’t have to worry about getting everything done in one day. You can spread your packing over as many or as few days as you would like. Your storage container will be brought directly to your business or home and left there until you’re ready, so you really have all the time you want while packing.
• Stay in the comfort of your home: A deterring (and sometimes daunting) aspect of storage facilities is having to drive back and forth between your home and your storage unit. However, storage that is mobile allows you to stay in your home and let the storage company take care of transportation. We’ll bring the mobile storage container straight to your home and then come pick it up and move it wherever you want when you’re all packed up. Or you can just leave it on your property if you prefer.
• Peace of mind: You can rest assured that your belongings are safe within your storage unit. You can choose the perfect size to fit your possessions and keep them safe inside an 8-gauge steel container. And, you can have your storage container brought back to you whenever you want.

There’s nothing more frustrating than finally organizing your residential home or commercial facility (good job on that, by the way!) and discovering that there’s something you need in your storage unit but it’s a 20-minute drive away. With on-site storage, you don’t have to experience that irritating frustration. You can have a storage container delivered right to your commercial facility or home and leave it right on your property for as long as you need to. Your storage container can hold boxes, furniture, equipment, clothing, supplies, and more, and it’ll only be a few steps away.

You should also know that you don’t have to leave your storage container on-site forever. When you’re ready to move it, all you have to do is give us a call. We’ll swing by and transport it to wherever you would like to take it next. You have the flexibility to have your storage container moved to our storage facility or to another location.

Here at SOS Storage On Site, we offer several convenient storage and moving options for both your business and home, including on-site storage. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our team today for more information!

• Renovations – If you are planning on renovating your home, you will need to empty out the rooms that are going to be remodeled. We offer high-quality storage bins that will keep your belongings safe and out of the way during the construction process.

• Moving – Another of the many uses for a storage bin is to give you a place to store your items when moving from one home to another. Whether you are moving to a smaller place and need to downsize, or you can’t move into your new place right away and need somewhere to store your stuff in the meantime, our team can give you the extra room you need.
• Home Staging – A third of the possible uses for storage bins has to do with selling your home. When putting your home on the market, it’s often helpful to have your home professionally staged to make it look more appealing to buyers. Because home staging typically involves getting rid of clutter and removing some furniture items to make the space look bigger, our team offers storage bins to give you somewhere to store all the items you want to hide from buyers.

We hope that this information has opened your eyes to the many possible uses of our storage bins. If you have further questions, simply give us a call to get the answers you need.

Here are three times you can benefit from storing your belongings by yourself:

1. Working on your home: This situation includes moving, remodeling, or organizing your home. If you’re going through any of these, you’re likely to find that you have more stuff than you know what to do with. You most likely won’t have the time to go through every single thing and determine its emotional value and worth to you and your home. So, you can instead pack your belongings in a storage container until you’re ready to move, finished remodeling, or have everything sorted out in your home.
2.  Business emergencies: Businesses are, well, busy. You’re likely to find that you have a lot of supplies, furniture, equipment, etc., and you might not know if everything has a place in your commercial facility. An increase in production, reorganization, and decluttering can all be instances when you would need a storage container for your business.
3. Temporary travel: Maybe you’re going out of the country for a year. Or perhaps you’re getting ready to move out of your home and attend college. You might not need everything at your home, but you don’t want to just throw it all away. That’s why self-storage units are great– you can put your stuff away and save it for when you need it.
