4-foot storage container
It might be the baby of the bunch, but our 4-foot storage container still offers an impressive amount of storage space – up to 220 cubic feet. It’s ideal for moving items from a smaller living space or when you want to store items from one room. This size is a big hit with college students moving to campus housing for the first time. When it comes to storage space, our 4-foot container is perfect for storing or moving the contents of places that are 550 square feet or less, such as dorm rooms or studio apartments. The size is comparable to a 5 x 5 storage unit. If your still not sure whether this container is right for you, why not spend a couple of minutes and use our online calculator.
8-foot storage container
If you’re moving from a single room or a studio under 500 square feet, our 8-foot moving container is just the right fit. These compact containers can comfortably hold the contents of a dorm room, making them a great option for college students. They’re also great for tackling one-room renovation projects. For comparison, CEND’s 8-foot moving containers are around the size of a 5×10 storage unit or a 10-foot moving truck — plenty of space for a living set and appliances.
16-foot storage container
If you’re embarking on a big move, we have you covered. Our 16-foot moving containers are great for growing families or roommates on the move. They can comfortably hold the contents of a two- to three-bedroom home of up to 1200 square feet. Fitting neatly in a standard parking spot, a 16-foot moving container is similar in size to a 10×15 storage unit or a 20-foot moving truck.
