Why Long Island Residents Choose Go Mini's of Long Island
We’re locally owned and operated, which means our team understands the specific logistics, regulations, and neighborhood conditions that affect moves and storage projects across Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Each container we deliver is built to the same standard, and every rental comes with flexible terms that put you in control of the timeline.
Reliable & Secure Storage
Our containers are built from powder-coated steel with tightly sealed doors, helping protect your belongings against rain, heat, humidity, and wind year-round. Long Island’s coastal climate and seasonal weather swings make that durability a practical necessity. For families moving during peak summer humidity or preparing for a winter renovation, weather-resistant construction helps preserve furniture, appliances, and keepsakes throughout the process.
Ground-Level Access & Flexible Use
All containers sit 8 inches off the ground, so you can move heavy items in and out without ramps or lifts. That matters in older Long Island neighborhoods where stoops, narrow hallways, and multi-level layouts already complicate a move. Ground-level loading reduces the physical strain and the risk of damage, especially when maneuvering large furniture through tight spaces. This flexibility also makes our containers a practical option for military families facing compressed timelines and uncertain move dates.
Local Knowledge & Personalized Service
We’re not a national chain. Our team knows Long Island’s zoning rules, traffic patterns, and neighborhood quirks, from town-specific permitting requirements to the overhead wires and mature plantings common in older Nassau and Suffolk neighborhoods. Whether you’re in Huntington, Hempstead, or the Hamptons, you’re working with people who have placed containers in your area before and can anticipate the issues before they become problems.

Features of Our Moving Containers
Every container we deliver shares the same core set of features, engineered for protection, convenience, and compatibility with Long Island’s residential driveways.
Key features include:
- Three sizes available: Choose the 12 Foot Container, 16 Foot Container, or 20 Foot Container to match your project scale.
- Powder-coated steel construction: Durable frames resist rust, moisture, and the wear of Long Island’s coastal climate.
- 8-inch ground clearance: All containers sit 8 inches off the ground, reducing moisture risk from ground contact.
- Built-in tie-down rings: Help secure belongings during transport without improvising tie points.
- Interior railings and ventilation: Reduce humidity buildup and help keep contents stable in transit.
- 8-foot width: Fits within a standard one-car driveway across Nassau and Suffolk County neighborhoods.
- Flexible scheduling: Load and unload on your timeline without pressure.
- Delivery and pickup: We drop off and pick up the container at your location.
Our containers also ride on padded wheels that protect your driveway surface during delivery and pickup. Delivery requires approximately 60 feet of straight clearance, and our team accounts for overhead wires and landscaping before positioning each container.

- Local moving and household relocations.
- Office moves.

- College student transitions.
- Event and seasonal inventory storage.
Long Island’s communities vary widely, from the dense village centers of Garden City to the open suburban lots of East Hampton. Our containers adapt to many property types. Businesses in Melville or Hauppauge use them for overflow inventory. Residents staging a home for sale use them to clear space without renting off-site. Whatever the project, our local ties help us provide responsive service when timing matters.
Security for Your Belongings
Each container is designed to accept a personal padlock, so only you have access to your belongings, whether the container is sitting in your driveway or stored at our facility. Our storage yards are monitored and well-lit, and built-in tie-down rings help keep your items secure during transport.

What to Expect During Delivery & Placement
Our driveway storage containers are designed to sit neatly in residential driveways with minimal disruption to landscaping and easy access day or night. Before delivery, we coordinate with you to identify the best placement location. The delivery process typically takes less than an hour, with careful attention to overhead wires and nearby plantings. This is a common consideration in older Nassau and Suffolk neighborhoods.
Service features include:
- Flexible scheduling: Choose early morning, evening, or weekend drop-off and pickup times that fit your routine.
- Driveway-safe delivery: Padded wheels prevent surface damage during drop-off and pickup.
- Daily access: Load or retrieve your belongings at any time during your rental period.
If placement on or near a public street requires a temporary permit, our team can let you know and help you navigate the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Scheduling Work for Delivery & Pickup?
Scheduling is flexible. You choose the dates that work for your timeline, and we coordinate around them. If your plans change, we adjust.
Are the Moving Containers Weather-Resistant?
Yes. Our containers are built with powder-coated steel frames and sealed doors that help protect against rain, snow, heat, and humidity, which matters given Long Island’s coastal weather and seasonal swings.
Do I Need a Permit to Keep a Container in My Driveway?
In most Long Island residential areas, a container placed wholly within your private driveway doesn’t require a permit. That said, local town and village rules vary, especially for placement that extends onto a public street or sidewalk. Our team can walk you through the common requirements for your area.
Can I Store the Container at Your Facility, & Is It Secure?
Yes. Your loaded container can be stored at our secure local facility. The yard is monitored and well-lit, and your container stays locked with your own padlock. Only you have access.

We offer three sizes: the 12 Foot Container, the 16 Foot Container, and the 20 Foot Container. Each suits a different project scale, from apartment decluttering to full-home relocations. Our team can help you choose the right fit based on what you’re moving.

Container Sizes for Every Long Island Move or Project
Choosing the right container size means you’re not paying for space you don’t need or scrambling mid-move because you undersized. Go Mini's of Long Island offers three container sizes, each built to the same powder-coated steel standard and available across Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Here’s what each one holds and where it fits best.
12 Foot Container
The 12 Foot Container measures 8×8×12 feet, giving you 768 cubic feet of storage space. It holds the contents of roughly 2 to 3 rooms, making it a practical fit for studio or one-bedroom apartment moves, single-room renovation projects, and smaller home or business storage needs. College students moving to or from Long Island campuses often find this size efficient and cost-effective, and it works equally well for apartment decluttering projects where a larger container would be more than the job requires.
16 Foot Container
At 8×8×16 feet and 1,024 cubic feet, the 16 Foot Container handles 3 to 4 rooms of contents comfortably. It’s the right fit for condo and apartment moves, home staging for real estate sales, and single-floor renovation projects. Residents in communities like Plainview or Commack who are transitioning between properties or clearing space for a remodel typically find the 16 Foot Container covers the job without excess.
20 Foot Container
The 20 Foot Container is our largest option: 8×8×20 feet and 1,280 cubic feet, with capacity for 4 to 6 rooms of contents. It’s built for full-home relocations, major construction or addition projects, and high-volume business or equipment storage. At more than 25 percent larger than the 16 Foot Container, it gives Long Island families moving out of larger suburban homes a single-container solution rather than multiple rentals.
All three containers are 8 feet wide, fitting within a standard one-car driveway. Not sure which size is right? Use our storage calculator or call our local team at (631) 253-8760 and we’ll help you choose based on your inventory and property layout.
