Frequently Asked Questions About Go Mini's Storage Container Sizes

What size storage container should I choose for my needs?

When choosing a storage container size, consider the following factors:

Volume of Items: Estimate the total volume of items you need to store. This can be done by visualizing the space they take up in your home or by measuring them.
Types of Items: Consider the dimensions and weight of your items. Bulky items like furniture may require larger containers, while smaller, lighter items can be packed into smaller ones.
Future Storage Needs: Think about whether you might need more space in the future. If you anticipate needing additional storage, it may be wise to opt for a larger container.
Accessibility: Ensure the size you choose allows for easy access to your items. Overpacking a small container can make it difficult to retrieve items later.

How do I determine the best storage container size for moving?

To compare moving container sizes and estimate the size you need for moving, follow these steps:

Inventory Your Items: Make a list of everything you plan to move. Group items by room and type (e.g., kitchenware, clothing, furniture).
Measure Large Items: Measure the dimensions of large items such as furniture, appliances, and boxes.
Use Online Calculators: Go Mini's offers an online calculator where you can input your inventory to get an estimate of the container size you need.
Consult with Professionals: If you're unsure, consult with moving professionals who can provide guidance based on their experience.

How much space do I need in my driveway for a container?

Our Go Mini's containers are designed to fit easily into a standard residential driveway.

Across all our storage container sizes, they are 8 feet wide, so they take up about the same width as a car.

You will need to ensure there is enough clearance for our delivery truck to safely place the container, which is typically a straight path of about 60 feet.

If you have any concerns about your space, just give us a call. We make it easy to figure out the perfect spot!

Besides the length, are all your containers built the same?

Yes, and that’s what makes our all of our storage container sizes so much more convenient!

Every Go Mini's container, regardless of size, comes with features designed to make your job easier.

They all sit 8 inches off the ground, which means no struggling up a steep, slippery ramp while loading and better protection from ground moisture.

Plus, all our containers have interior railings for tying down your belongings and special vents to help reduce humidity.

Whether you're organizing your closet, moving to a new home, or decluttering your garage, we have the right container size for you. Contact Go Mini's now to learn more about our container sizes!
