cend’s portable storage containers

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 you’re 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

An 8-foot portable storage unit can usually contain everything from inside a studio apartment or a room that measures no more than 500 square feet. This size can fit a king- or queen-sized bed. It’s often a suitable choice for couples refurbishing one room or students going to or from college. Size-wise, an 8-foot container is similar to a 5×10 storage unit or a 10-foot moving truck.

16-foot storage container

In terms of size, a 16-foot storage unit is like a 10×15 storage unit or a 20-foot moving truck. It has a relatively modest footprint, measuring approximately the same length as a standard parking space. A 16-foot container can normally hold the contents of a two- to three-bedroom house or an area that measures up to 1,200 square feet. Couples or families moving homes may benefit from this size storage solution. It can also be useful for anyone having major home maintenance work completed.
