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.

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.
Both our storage units and our facilities are completely secure – When you choose SMARTBOX for short-term storage, your belongings will be safe and secure whether you choose on-site storage or our storage facility. Each of our containers is equipped with two butterfly clamps and a sliding hasp built to accommodate a padlock or combination lock.

Each SMARTBOX container is 8 feet deep by 7 feet tall by 5 feet wide and can hold up to 3,500 pounds.
The boxes can hold approximately one to one and a half rooms’ worth of furniture and belongings, including your largest items such as refrigerators, desks and king-sized mattresses and box springs.

Each container has one large out-swinging door that is secured with two butterfly clamps and a sliding hasp built to accommodate a padlock or combination lock for added security.
