| Portable Storage is fast becoming the preferred method of household transportation across the United States. Lacunae in the traditional transportation business led to the evolution of the Portable storage system. The traditional transportation model required a person to book a trucking company in advance, with fixed times for loading and unloading at the new destination. A consumer with a housing crisis at a new destination cannot be helped by the traditional trucking system and has to rely on his friends or book his luggage in warehouses which is a very costly proposition. Portable Storage systems resolve this problem. Portable Storage in comes in two forms; moving services and storage services. The moving services consist of portable storage units that are delivered at the customers doorstep. Contractual flexibility allows the customer to load and unload the items flexi-time. Unlike the traditional Truck based system, portable storage units do not require ramps as they are ergonomically designed. A large variety of portable storage units are on offer compared to the variety offered by traditional trucking system. For example, Portable Storage companies offer containers of differing sizes such as 5X5 feet sized container for loading belongings from a studio flat, 5X10 feet sized container for a one bedroom apartment, 10X15 feet for two/three bedroom apartment, 10X20 feet for a three/four bedroom apartment and a 10X30 feet for a larger house. Thus the customer has the flexibility to choose from a range of sizes according to his requirements. Even security during the move is ensured by utilization of GPS tracking technology to let the customer know the exact location of his moving luggage. The storage services offer to keep the customers belongings in secure company warehouses till such time the customer is ready to accept the delivery of the items. The customer thus gets time to make arrangements for a house or an alternate storing place at the new destination. Of course these services come at a price but this is competitive when taking into consideration the troubles one would have had to undergo in case such a storage option was not available at the new destination. Other services offered by portable storage companies include storage of a customers car or boat. Home storage of wines in environment controlled conditions is yet another service offered by portable storage companies. The portable Storage industry has grown and diversified into many fields and is truly a revolution in the transportation industry. |
