Are you looking to get a storage container rental but don’t know where to start? Here are a few tips for you to make sure you are getting the most out of your shipping container rental.
Choosing The Right Size Unit
There are a variety of container sizes to choose from. The standard portable storage container has a width of 8 feet and a height of 8 foot 6 inches. The variation comes in the length. Ark Container Rentals has 10 foot, 20 foot, and 40 foot units available. In order to determine the unit that will best suit your needs, you should consider what you are storing and how it will fit in the various container volumes. For residential storage, we typically say a 20 foot container can fit a 2 bedroom house, while a 40 foot container can fit a house with 3 or more bedrooms. In terms of construction, you should choose based off the measurements of your equipment and materials.
Choosing the Right Spot to Drop
When dealing with larger container companies such as PODS, Mobile Mini, William Scottsman, and more, it can be a bit difficult to get real idea whether you can feasibly fit the unit. Then, if it turns out you can’t, you are left with nothing but a delivery charge for a storage container you never actually received.
