10 Surprising Uses for Your Portable Storage Container

 

When you think about a portable storage container, you probably think about moving. And while mobile storage units are a cost-effective solution for homeowners looking for a convenient, safe, and efficient way to move their belongings from one home to another, portable storage containers from TargetBox can be used for so much more.

Here are ten other ways a mobile moving container can make your life easier:

1. Portable Office Space

If you’re in charge of a construction site, field project, or just need some extra office space, a customized storage unit can provide just the right fit.

Our metal sea containers offer plenty of space for a desk and other office equipment and can be modified with windows, roll-up doors, and electrical units. They’re wind, water, and rodent-proof, and can be locked so your office equipment, documents, and other supplies remain safe.

We’ll deliver your mobile office to your job site so you can get right to work.  And when the project’s done your portable office can be transported to the next job site or kept at our secured storage yard until it’s needed again.

2. Seasonal Storage
