What is Portable Storage?
Portable storage has revolutionised the storage industry in the last decade. Portable storage units offer a versatility of options to satisfy the budgetary, storage capacity and accessibility needs of the modern customer. The unit is delivered to a customer’s premises or preferred location by truck and forklift or tow-truck and either kept onsite or returned to the secure storage facility for the duration of a customer’s storage needs.
There are significant benefits and advantages to Portable storage, such that this offering has overtaken traditional storage units and is now the leading product in the storage service industry. To read the full list of significant and wide ranging benefits of Portable storage, please click here.

No two households, offices, shops or warehouses contain the same contents for storage, and so it follows that each customer’s needs will be different when it comes to the size of the Portable storage unit they require. Portable storage companies have different unit sizes, each with recommended capacities. Customers should carefully consider their requirements and ensure they choose the right size storage unit to suit their needs.
