Storage

Yes! Our units are designed to store most household items, including large items like a king size mattress, sofa, washer, dryer, refrigerators, armoires and baby-grand pianos, etc. We have received several comments from our customer who say they are amazed at how much fits inside one of our units. The maximum length or height that will fit into the container is 93″. Each unit will hold up to 2,000 lbs and we can deliver as many units to you as you wish.

The following is a sample list of items we where able to fit into 1 unit:

• Queen Size mattress and Foundation
• Couch (7′ 8″)
• Bureau
• Full size relining chair
• 25″ Television
• Television Stand
• 2 Lamps
• 18 Boxes averaging 18x18x24 in size

The weigh capacity of the unit is 2,000 pounds. You want to make sure to evenly distribute the load through out the storage unit to prevent shifting.

Yes! When the storage container is out of our warehouse for loading or unloading and packing, each container is covered with a highly durable, heavy-duty, weather-resistant cover engineered to protect your belongings. This cover is impervious to rain but still allows the container to breathe because of its Velcro closures and strategically placed waterproof vents.

Box-n-Go containers are specifically designed and constructed to optimize your mobile storage experience. All containers are built exclusively for Box-n-Go and are assembled and inspected by our personnel before we deliver them. They are built out of weather resistant exterior grade plywood and dry lumber to provide a very stable, breathable and chemical free environment during the storing and transporting of your belongings. Each unit is equipped with a single hinged door opening and a heavy-duty latch system for your lock. One of the benefits of wooden containers is that they ensure moisture and excessive heat will not become trapped inside causing mold and mildew to grow. The wood frame construction allows the containers to “breathe” so that they equalize with the environment around them. When a container is stored outdoors at your house for a few days, the climate inside the container equalizes to the climate outside of it, preventing condensation. When you are finished loading the storage container, we transport it to our warehouse. At this point the climate inside the container equalizes to its indoor environment. The same process repeats itself when we return the container to your house. This keeps your goods smelling just like they did when you packed them. The storage containers that are airtight and made of steel, aluminum or fiberglass develop condensation during this process because the temperature inside the storage unit changes but the water vapor in the air has nowhere to go, potentially leading to mold and mildew. The aluminum or fiberglass doesn’t help because it doesn’t absorb water.

The process is the same as when your car develops fog on the windshield in the morning or during the rain. This condensation can damage your furniture. In addition to the above our containers are elevated 4″ off the ground. This prevents the moisture (be it rain or sprinklers) from the ground from affecting anything inside the container. When the storage container is out of our warehouse for loading or unloading and packing, each container is also covered with a highly durable, heavy-duty, weather-resistant cover engineered to protect your belongings. This cover is impervious to rain but still allows the container to breathe because of its Velcro closures and strategically placed waterproof vents.

Box-n-Go offers few container sizes. The containers that are available for warehouse storage measure 5′ x 8′ on the ground and are 7’ tall outside (approximately 57″ wide X 93.5″ long x 78″ tall on the inside) with a single hinged door opening (47″ wide X 74″ high) and a heavy-duty latch system for your lock. Each container will typically accommodate an average room to a room and a half of household goods. Should you need additional space, multiple units can always be delivered.

The containers sits about 4 inches off the ground to ensure that your belongings are safe and dry should the weather choose not to cooperate during the time you are loading. Almost all household goods will fit into our containers, including a king-size bed and baby-grand piano. Most large armoires or other tall items will fit into the container if laid on their side. The maximum length or height that will fit into the container is 93″. Each unit can hold up to 2,000 lbs.

While our staff is always cautious while transporting belongings, the best way to protect your belongings is to pack the contents of the storage container as tightly as possible, the weight evenly distributed. Treat packing of the container just like you would a truck (after all the unit will being transported via truck to our warehouse), minus the slippery metal ramp to navigate your way up and down. Remember that your containers are only inches from the ground. Place your heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on the top. Fill in as much empty space as you can and UTILIZE PACKING SUPPLIES like shrink wrap which can help to keep items from being scratched or dented! Use strong moving boxes in uniform sizes, break down items with removable legs. Things like moving blankets and using the appropriate boxes are the single most important factors in a successful move.
