How is a portable storage unit better than a permanent unit at a facility? The same way a mobile phone is better than a landline. It’s more convenient and is a result of advancements in technology, among other benefits.
But how are these two storage options different, exactly?
Let’s go over the advantages each option presents to those looking for storage solutions in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Convenience
With a movable storage unit (aka portable storage container), you can have it delivered to the location of your choosing, unlike permanent facilities where you have to travel to access and drop off your belongings. You can even have the movable storage unit picked up when you’re done packing it, making it one of the most convenient options in the world of moving and storage. Permanent facilities in Dallas are a bit more of a hassle.
Climate
In general, permanent storage facilities are more likely to be climate controlled than movable storage units, but that’s not always the case. Climate control is a big benefit for your DFW belongings, however, as it protects them from excess temperature swings, as well as moisture. Movable storage unit climates are a bit more dependent on the weather (when they’re on site, anyway). At SAM (Store & Move), we offer the best of both worlds: portable storage containers that you can store at a climate-controlled facility when you’re not using them.
Timeline
There is no real timeline with permanent facilities, other than the time when your lease is up. You’re free to access, remove and add to your belongings as you wish—though you’ll have to travel to and from the facility, as well as potentially rent a truck. With movable storage containers in Dallas, you can pack and load on your timeline, though you may not be able to keep the container on site forever, depending on permits and your living situation.
Business Impact
Finally, there’s a difference in business impact for these two storage options. While movable storage units can travel with you on the job (e.g. construction, roofing, staging, real estate, etc.), the same can’t be said for permanent facilities. The good news is that with a Dallas-Fort Worth movable storage unit solution like SAM, you can experience higher profits and revenue due to fewer trips to gather the supplies and equipment you need.
