Portable

The Storage Answer containers are easy to build and move, so they can be moved around a job site, or from one site to another without hassle. They also can be moved with a small truck or on a trailer, and when packed up are only 12" high.

Affordable

Because The Storage Answer containers are easy to move, and typically weigh less than ⅓ of a shipping container, they are much more practical. They can be easily moved without elaborate equipment, which saves money and time. They provide a stress free storage answer no matter what your situation may be, due to the flexibility of being able to move them or break them down easily at any time.

Built to Last

The Storage Answer containers have been engineered with proper ventilation to prevent condensation and dampness. They are made with 20 gauge galvanized steel that resists rusting, and feature OSB strand board flooring that is treated to resist moisture and insects. The built- in gutter system further assures the longevity of your investment.
