Will On-Site Storage Ever Rule the World?

Will On-Site Storage Ever Rule the World_ The American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA) estimates that of the 3 million moves people make annually, 650,000 of them feature professional movers. The other 2.4 million are by consumer — either unassisted or with a rented truck, according to the AMSA. This begs the question: are we going to get to the point where everyone is using on-site storage?

Different people have different needs. Let’s determine whether on-site storage will meet all of them or if it’s just one of several viable options during moves.

Benefits of On-Site Storage

With all of the features and benefits of portable storage containers, it’s no surprise that on-site storage is so popular. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of SAM (Storage & Move) containers in particular:

  • Easy delivery and pickup: Choose when and where you want your storage container delivered and have it picked up with just a call. You don’t even have to be present!
  • Feature-packed containers: SAM containers have a translucent roof that allows light in, 16 mounted tie-down rings for securing items, an easy-to-use roll-up door, smooth interior walls and other features.
  • Flexibility and convenience: Take as long as you need to load and unload your containers. On-site storage is all about giving you maximum flexibility and convenience during your move.
  • Plenty of space: Every container is approximately 16′ long, 8′ wide, and 8′ high. A SAM (Store & Move) container holds the contents of a typical 1,500-square-foot home.
  • Supplies offered: Rope and locks are available on request.
  • High security: Store your belongings with confidence. Know that when you store with SAM, your belongings will be safe with a highly secure portable self-storage unit made from galvanized steel.

The list of benefits goes on. But does that mean on-site storage will rule the world one day?

What About Other Options?

Some situations may require the help of a full-service team of professional movers. Or, it might make sense to get a combination of moving help and on-site storage. There are several possibilities and choosing the right one is up to you. Because there are so many different situations and types of people, it’s doubtful that on-site storage will ever be the only option for moving and storage. But it is one of the best options out there and is definitely worthy of your consideration.
