Mobile Storage Units in DeKalb

Depending on the nitty-gritty details of your project, you usually have a few options when it comes to the moving or storage of your belongings. Time after time, portable storage units prove to be the superior option for both storage and transportation of your belongings. From packing to unloading, they make every step easier.

Some advantages of temporary portable storage include:

  • Pack at Your Own Pace – Since our units are safe, secure, and portable, you no longer have to rely on a team of movers to force everything into a truck within a few hectic hours. Instead, pack at your own pace and convenience while the unit is stored on your very own property.
  • Ultimate Convenience – Not only does our team deliver the storage unit straight to your front door, but we’ll also pick it up and take it wherever it needs to go when you need us to. We’re dedicated to helping your next move or project go on without a hitch!
  • Variety of Sizes – At Go Mini’s, we offer a wide variety of sizes to ensure we can provide you the best container for your project. Currently, our team offers portable storage containers that are 12, 16, and 20 feet long. Our 12-foot unit is designed for one or two rooms, while our 16-foot unit is designed to store 3 to 4 rooms worth, and our 20-foot container features 29% more cubic space than the largest PODS® unit.

With our expanded selection of storage containers, a team of professional storage experts, and ultimate convenience, there’s no question why homeowners continue to flock to Go Mini’s to rent our portable storage and moving container units. We hope to keep your next move, remodel, or project as simple as possible.

Tips When Renting a Storage Container

Our portable storage units are designed to be stored on your property for convenience and ease of access, though we can also keep your loaded container at our secure offsite storage facility if necessary.

For containers stored on your property, choose a spot that is:

  • Safe and secure
  • Flat, even, and level
  • Paved, if possible
  • Compliant with municipal or HOA regulations

When you decide to rent a portable storage container, it’s important to already know where you’re going to place the container. Regardless of the size, it’s important to store your portable storage container in a safe and secure location that has a flat surface and is completely free of any type of decline.

The optimal location for your portable storage container should include a paved surface. Our on-site storage units are designed to be placed on a paved surface, such as a driveway, street, or paved parking area. If the container is not going to be relocated, our team can place your unit on a flat dirt, grassy, or loose-gravel area, although it is not recommended due to unstable conditions and possible sinking in the event of rain.

Of course, not all driveways or surrounding areas of your property will be 100% flat. With this in mind, the flatter the surface, the better results you’ll have from our storage units. Even the slightest slope, or uneven surface, can create hazards during loading and unloading. This can increase damage to not only your personal belongings but also yourself and your moving team.

Ultimately, it’s important to remember that our storage units can weigh upwards of 8,000 pounds when full and are on four wheels, so uneven or rocky surfaces should be avoided. Both the truck and container require you to have room on a flat surface to complete the delivery, so street-level tends to be the best option. If stored on the street, be sure to double-check with your HOA or the local authorities in DeKalb so you’re aware of any rules or restrictions.
