Convenient Container Sizes
When finding the best container for your storage needs, you should weigh a number of factors, including…
The most important factor to consider is the volume of items you are going to store. Should you need more than one container, no problem! We can typically fit two containers in a standard-sized driveway.
Access Points
Whether you’re using it for personal or business purposes, you’ll probably want to put your storage container as close to your building as possible. We can help you decide what size container(s) will fit in the area you’re considering for placement. Sierra Mobile Storage’s delivery system is so nimble that containers can often be placed in an area about the size of a normal automobile parking space, as long as it’s fairly level and there’s a clear path to it.
Designated Areas
We’ve delivered containers in some of the unique locations—let’s talk about your needs if it’s different from a standard driveway.
A 16-Foot Container
Labeled 16-foot containers because they are 16 feet in length, these containers are also approximately 8 feet wide and 8 feet tall. This provides roughly 1,024 cubic feet of space, which is typically enough space to hold 3-4 rooms of furniture from a typical 2-bedroom house or office. It is also comparable to the amount of storage space in a 20 ft. box truck. Sierra Mobile Storage offers these storage containers for families with small to medium-sized homes, as well as for businesses that need to store or transport average amounts of equipment, furniture or inventory.
A 20-foot Container
Also approximately 8 feet in width and 8 feet tall, this type of portable storage container is 20 feet long. It has roughly 1,280 cubic feet of space inside and can hold 4-5 rooms or furniture (3-bedroom house).
