About our portable storage containers.
WEATHER
Our portable storage container rentals are built for the Canadian climate. They’re weather and rodent-proof, so your things will be safe and secure year-round.
Sizes
We rent portable storage containers in a variety of sizes: 8′, 10′, 20′ & 40′. The contents of a typically furnished 2-4 bedroom home will usually fit into a 20′ BigSteelBox.
Security
Our new storage container rentals come equipped with a Lock Box. This heavy steel shield surrounds your padlock and protects it from bolt-cutters.
Rodents
BigSteelBoxes have rubber gaskets along both sides of the doors, which creates a tight seal. This keeps mice and rats out.
STORAGE SAFETY
BigSteelBoxes come equipped with vents to promote airflow and prevent mold or mildew, however, extra ventilation should be added to safely store flammable materials, such as gas, solvents and other chemicals.
Shelving Brackets
Maximize your storage space and keep it organized by using the D-rings located every 4′ in your BigSteelBox. We rent and sell shelf brackets, you just need to add 2″x10″ pieces of lumber.
We needed a storage space for several months while completing a home renovation. Office staff and drivers were professional, friendly & efficient. We would highly recommend Big Box Steel for storage solutions.
We used Big Steel Box to move from Ontario to British Columbia. We also needed to store our belongings for 2-3 months between houses. This was the perfect solution for us and we found BSB to be professional and responsive. We knew exactly how much it would cost versus using a mover who couldn't narrow down a price until it was packed. When it comes to loading the container, I would recommend having a professional to help pack the container so very little moves while in transit. We packed our own boxes and also purchased moving blankets and ratchet tie-down straps to help secure our things, but it's all the odd shaped furniture that requires some finesse. Everything happened when they said it would and the drivers were all courteous. I would highly recommend Big Steel Box for moving and storage solutions.
It made my move convenient and easy with this company even with the short notice. They even assist me getting a permit from the city. Big steel box friendly staff and nice drivers made my first experience in renting a bin great. Thank you👏👏👍👍
