There’s nothing quite like the convenience of a quick load and unload when it comes to moving and storing residential or commercial properties and items. A portable storage container delivers this win-win scenario with many advantages when it comes to efficiency, saving time and overall convenience. If you’re comparing a portable storage container to a traditional storage unit, we feel that the benefit of loading and unloading once may be the killer feature.
A Simple Set Up and Teardown
What is the Load & Unload feature? The answer is simple. Your items will live in the portable storage container that was dropped off at your location no matter where that container is stored, no matter how long it is stored and no matter where you have it moved to. The items need to be loaded and unloaded once.
The process is simple: a portable storage container company, such as SAM Store and Move, would drop off a container at your location. You would then fill the container with your items and the company would return and transport it to your new destination or storage facility. You pack and unpack once and that’s it. No more loading up your car or truck to subsequently unload it into a portable storage unit only to have to repeat this process in reverse to bring your items back to your home.
The Benefits of Load and Unload Once
Beyond the obvious benefit of saving the time and energy by cutting your labor from loading and unloading in half, there are risks to your items when loading and unloading that are also cut in half.
You also don’t have to worry about transportation. Your storage unit is brought to you. This means that you can save on not renting a truck or otherwise not have to deal with multiple trips in smaller vehicles to your storage unit. Renting a truck and just commuting with your items repeatedly also introduces more risk for your storage needs.
With a portable storage container, you don’t even have to have your unit moved with your belongings. It can remain on site – securely on your property. Even if you do wish to have a portable storage company store in their facility, such as SAM’s warehouse, or have it moved to a new location, you still only have to load and unload your container one time.
How Does this Compare to a Traditional Moving Service?
While the convenience of the load and unload once feature is best communicated in the comparison with a traditional storage unit, there are many advantages to using a portable storage container company for your next move.
- Cheaper: you are covering less labor with a portable storage container.
- DIY benefits: while hiring movers for the heavy lifting has obvious advantages, there are advantages to DIY packing, loading and unloading that aren’t limited to cost savings. Some people are very sensitive about their belongings and may wish to have more control over the move. A portable storage container is a more convenient option than renting a truck for a DIY move.
- Less time pressures: you are able to move at your own pace with your belongings securely stored in a portable storage container.
