If you are moving to a new house and want to store your furniture for some time, you have to book a self-storage facility. You need to hire a truck to move your furniture from your house to the storeroom and back. This will take a toll on your wallet, and needlessly complicate the matter.
Mobile mini storage facilities are the best solutions to your problem. Unlike other storage facilities, they are used while moving from one place to another, and are not usually used for storage.

How Do They Work?

You need to find a mobile storage company and place an order. The storage containers are available in different sizes and price rates. Choose a container according to the size you need.
The company will deliver the pods at your doorstep. They will load your belongings into the pod. You will be provided with a lock, but you can also use your own. They will now store your packed container in their self-storage facility. When you order, they will deliver this box wherever you want.
Thus, they provide transportation services as well as storage facilities. There is a limit on the number of days you can store your belongings in their facility. If the client fails to pay the fees, the company can keep all the goods stored by the client. Most of the time, the company auctions off these goods to make up for the losses.

Advantages

They implement the policy of 'customer first'. Everything is planned according to your convenience. Also, with these units, you will have multiple choices to suit your particular needs. The containers are available in different sizes and shapes, and are custom designed.
Specialized pods for different goods are also available, such as pods for cars. Climate-controlled pods are also provided by some services. You can get extra large pods for heavy, cumbersome items. You can either store the pod in your own house, or you can also use the company's self-storage facility.
Optimum security is provided for your goods. These companies do not rely on a single lock for security. Most of the companies have a range of security options such as video surveillance, alarm system, in addition to a secure lock box, since their business would be harmed by the publicity if their clients' items got damaged or stolen.
They are mostly constructed with heavy-duty metals, which can resist heavy damage and weather changes. They prove to be inexpensive as compared to self storage facilities. Due to extensive competition in this field, the services offered by these companies are always up to date.
Mobile mini storage units are a perfect combination for a customer looking for options to move their belongings.
Before selecting the service, you have to take some points into consideration, like the period for which you can store your goods at the company's facility, or the size of the pod needed. If you order a medium-sized pod only to realize that you would be needing a larger one, it would not only be inconvenient, but also expensive.
You should also take into account the nature of the goods you want to store. This will decide whether you want a climate-controlled storage to maintain the temperature and moisture conditions as per the requirement. Some companies have hidden costs, so make sure you are well-informed before making the final decision.
