The Highest Quality Construction

1-800-PACK-RAT containers are built with steel frames, walls, and doors to provide durable protection that wooden and plastic storage containers our competitors offer just can’t match. The all steel construction is weatherproof, and keeps your stuff safe from the elements and resists the absorption of moisture. Our containers also feature barn-style doors, which provide more packing space, more security, and are less likely to jam when compared to roll-up doors.

We know that you have a lot to do when planning a move so we have done everything possible to make our containers as convenient as possible!

8-Foot Portable Storage & Moving Containers

Packing, moving, and storing has never been easier. 1-800-PACK-RAT’s 8-foot storage container is ideal for smaller moving and storage needs, such as one-room home renovations, moving large furniture and appliances, and storing your stuff on-site.

The 8-foot container complements our 12-and-16-foot containers, allowing you to have a little extra storage space if you need it. Whether you’re an apartment moving to a new home, a small business owner who needs additional storage, or a contractor who provides storage solutions for their clients, our 8-foot container can help you store and move important items without the hassle of renting a storage room.

How Much Does an 8-Foot Container Cost?

The cost of an 8-foot portable storage container depends on a number of factors, including:

  • Time: The length of time you intend to keep your storage container will affect its total cost. If you only need it for a short amount of time, your cost will be considerably lower than someone who needs their container long-term. The longer you rent your storage container, the more it will cost over time.
  • Number of Containers: If one container is not enough for your needs, or if you’re planning a large renovation or you’ll need more storage space, you’ll likely need more than one 8-foot storage container. The more containers you need, the higher the cost will be for your storage solutions.
  • Need for Off-site Storage: To save on costs, consider keeping your storage container on-site if you are able. Additionally, if you’re using your 8-foot storage container for a move, then you will pay more for your container due to transportation logistics. For example, someone moving their belongings across the state will pay more than someone who uses their storage container on-site at their home.
  • Size of Container: Our 8-foot container is the cheapest option because it is the smallest. To determine just how much your storage will cost, it’s important to know the dimensions of the items you’ll be storing to rent the correct size container, which can be done by using our space calculator.

The Highest Quality Container Construction

Every single one of our containers is built with steel frames, walls, and doors. Steel offers durable protection from the elements that wood and plastic storage containers our competitors use do not.

Our secure mobile containershave barn-style doors so that you can rest assured knowing your belongings are safe. Barn-style doors also provide you with more packing space than the alternative because they open outward. Thanks to this feature, your doors are less likely to jam compared to roll-up doors because even if your belongings shift in transport, nothing can block the doors from opening.

Ground-Level Loading Makes Packing Easier

Packing your belongings into a truck is never fun, which is one of the factors that can make moving stressful. With ground-level loading, you don’t have to carry your belongings up and down a ramp or step up onto a truck in a way that could hurt your knees or cause trips.

Instead, when moving furniture and heavy items, you can simply walk your belongings into the storage container without worry. Ground-level loading also makes moving more convenient and can take less time because you won’t have to be worried about injury.

With 1-800-PACK-RAT’s moving and storage solutions, you’ll never need to drive to a storage facility location again. If you need your container transported, whether to a new location or one of our nationwide storage facilities, we can help! Our team delivers your container right to your doorstep so that you can pack according to your own schedule. We’ll also deliver it to your new location, making it ideal for moves and mobile workshops. You can also choose to have your belongings stored at one of our warehouses until you need them delivered.
