Key Takeaways

• Storage containers offer secure, ground-level access for construction sites, retail, restaurants, and temporary workspaces.
• Storage trailers sit at dock height and are designed for forklift access and palletized warehouse goods and overflow.
• Choosing the right portable storage solution depends on your workflow, access needs, and how often you move or rotate inventory.

Understanding Two Common Portable Storage Options

Running out of storage space slows businesses down—costing time, money, and sanity. Portable, on-site storage containers and dock-high storage trailers are affordable, flexible solutions for managing inventory, but knowing which one fits your needs makes all the difference.

Storage Containers Offer Secure, Ground-Level Access

Storage containers—also called shipping containers, cargo containers, or CONEX boxes—sit on the ground for easy, walk-in access. Built from durable corten steel to withstand the elements, 20’ and 40’ storage containers have lockable, swing-style doors to keep equipment and supplies safely stored. Storage containers are an ideal solution for short-term, on-site storage.

Typical Storage Container Uses:

• Construction sites securely storing materials, equipment, and tools.
• Retailers and restaurants managing seasonal inventory or overflow.
• Schools, healthcare, and public/government agencies storing records and supplies.
• Film and event production sites locking up valuable gear.
•  Custom-modified shipping containers can used for extra offices, workspaces, and even pop-up retail or concession stands.

Storage Trailers Deliver Dock-High, Warehouse-Ready Access

Storage trailers, or dry vans, are semi-trailers built for dock-height loading. 53’ storage trailers are ideal solutions for warehouse overflow, palletized inventory, or operations requiring dock access. Supported by dolly legs with wheels, they can be repositioned easily on-site and have either roll-up or swing doors.

‍

Common storage trailer uses:

• Warehouses needing overflow or cross-dock space
• Distribution centers staging incoming or outgoing freight
• Manufacturing facilities managing palletized materials
• Large events or productions requiring mobile storage between locations

Which Portable Storage Option is Right for You?

If you need ground-level access at a job site, retail store, restaurant, or campus, choose a 20- or 40-foot storage container.

Go for a 53-foot dock-high storage trailer if your operation runs on pallets and forklifts.
