Pod Container Size

Filed under: General — admin @ 9:30 am

SMARTBOX offers one container size. Each of these 5’x 7’x 8’ Smartboxes holds 1 - 1.5 rooms of furniture, with a capacity of 2,000 lbs. The size was chosen because of it’s advantage in helping prevent damage. It is easier to securely pack belongings in several smaller containers than one large one, yet the box is still large enough to accommodate big pieces of furniture, like a king size bed or an oversized armoire. The smaller size also makes the units more affordable so you pay for only the storage you need.

How Does The SMARTBOX Process Work?

Filed under: General — admin @ 3:20 pm

Many people are finding SMARTBOX portable storage containers to be the best thing in moving since the invention of the wheel. So how do these portable self storage units work?

After placing a phone call, SMARTBOX will deliver a storage unit to your home, and place it where you specify, like the driveway or the lawn. You will normally be provided with ample time to fill the unit, so there is no ‘race against the clock’ as there usually is with renting a truck. Also, the unit sits on ground level, so there are no moving ramps to deal with.

When you have the unit filled to your liking, simply call and they come pick it up for you, load it onto a truck, and will deliver it wherever you specify. They even offer the option of storing your belongings for you. Once you get it to where you need it, just unpack!

What NOT to Store

Filed under: General, General Moving Tips — admin @ 4:07 pm

SMARTBOX portable storage containers can provide a safe, secure place to store numerous household goods or business supplies. However, there are still some things to keep in mind when deciding what should be stored within these containers. Obviously, nothing alive should be kept inside these containers when closed, for any amount of time. This also applies to plants. In most states, it is against the law to have plants in the back of a moving truck, and these containers do apply to the same standards. Also, do not keep any perishable food items in the storage container, not even for a little while.

SMARTBOX Provides Protection from the Elements

Filed under: General — admin @ 11:05 am

SMARTBOX portable storage containers are becoming very popular due to their ease of use, convenience, affordability, and reliability. One of the most important factors to consider about these storage units is their level of protection from damaging elements.

SMARTBOXes are constructed from wood, which helps protect items inside from changes in temperature and humidity. Rising humidity can create condensation inside storage containers made from different materials, such as metal. This condensation can then cause water damage to stored belongings. To ensure no water can enter the SMARTBOX, the wood on the bottom is pressure-treated. This protects any groundwater from damaging your stored contents. The SMARTBOX is also covered with a heavy-duty water-proof cover to keep out rain.

There is no doubt that SMARTBOX will ensure your things will be protected from the elements.
