A few tips to consider when planning for a mobile storage unit.

• Decide what contents you want to place in the unit in order to determine which size you should order:
o We typically recommend a 10ft for 1 bedroom apartments or suites and a 20ft for 2-3 bedroom dwellings.
o When in doubt, go bigger - too much space is better than not enough!
• Determine where you wish to place the unit:
o Pick a location as close as possible to the entrance you will use to load the unit in order to save time and work
o Decide which way you want the doors of the storage unit facing
o It is ALWAYS best to place the unit on your own property
o Units can be placed for short periods of time at the side of City Roads, but a permit must be obtained from the municipality
• Ensure that the delivery truck will have enough room to deliver your storage unit:
o 10ft unit (10’L x 8’W x 8.5’H) requires 10’W by 50’L drop area
o 20ft unit (20’L x 8’W x 8.5’H) requires 10’W by 60’L drop area
o The width of residential streets may be included in above drop areas
• When packing a unit:
o Place heavy contents at the bottom, lighter items on top
o Put items you won’t need at the back of the unit, keep more useful items near the doors
o If possible, leave an aisle down the centre or side of the unit to allow access to most items if you will not be moving the loaded unit
• Once the unit is loaded:
o Place a good lock inside the steel lockbox on the doors
o Keep unit doors shut unless accessing contents
o Unit can be moved off-site for storage if required (extra delivery and storage fees will apply)
