A Commercial Portable Storage Unit is a cost-effective and convenient way to store, or move, belongings. A container is delivered to the home or business location. Customers have up to three days to load the container with their furniture, treasures, and seasonal items, such as lawn chairs or holiday decorations. Once the container id loaded, it is picked up and delivered to the storage facility or to the new home for unpacking. It eliminates loading up a car or truck and making several trips to transport items. One call is all it takes to have a container delivered promptly. A credit card reserves the unit and is automatically billed each month for payment.
Containers are available in two sizes, depending on the needs of the customer. The small container is eight feet long, seven feet wide, and seven feet high, with over 50 square feet of space. It will hold approximately two or three rooms worth of furniture and boxes. The large container is fifteen feet long, seven feet wide, seven feet high and has over 100 square feet of space. It can hold four rooms of furniture, boxes, equipment, or inventory. The weight capacity of either container is 6,000 pounds. All units are low to the ground and have a pull-out ramp for ease of loading. When customers want the items returned, or want to switch out items, the container can be returned to the location, or things can be brought to the facility by the customer. Bringing things to the facility will save customers a delivery charge.
It is important to be aware that most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover items located at a separate storage. Content protection plans to cover the full value of the items stored can be purchased from the company. Check with the local owner, such as at Zippy Shell Greater Columbus, for example, for details. Locations also have blankets, protective plastic bags, and packing supplies if customers need them. There are close to 40 locations in 12 States where customers can hire a Commercial Portable Storage Unit for moving, short-term, or long-term storage.
