  • We’ll bring storage to you – When you think of storage, you probably think of packing all your belongings and transporting them to a storage facility, only to unpack them from your car (or expensive rented truck) and repack them into your storage unit. When you choose SMARTBOX, those days are behind you! We’ll bring our portable storage containers right to your doorstep and give you all the time you need packing your belongings. Then you can either keep your short-term storage on-site or we can take your boxes to our secure storage facility.

  • You can choose on-site or off-site storage – When you need short-term storage, you can choose to either keep your portable storage containers on-site at your home or office, or we can take them to our secure, temperature-controlled storage facility.
  • Our storage facilities are temperature-controlled – One of the most important factors when it comes to your short-term storage is choosing a temperature-controlled storage facility. At SMARTBOX, we understand how important your belongings are to you, that’s why all of our storage facilities are temperature-controlled to help prevent the damage that can be caused by severe temperature changes, such as warping, cracking, peeling, mold, and more.
