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.
I used Big Steel Box in our move from Calgary to Vancouver Island in 2009. I have had to store and move our belongings again and did not hesitate to use the same company. The service in Nanaimo/Ladysmith is OUTSTANDING. If you need storage or moving containers do not hesitate to call, and I would suggest you ask for Cody! Spectacular!
Honesty can't say enough about this company ...our rep Brent (Kelowna) was very knowledgeable, helpful. Very through and quick with the quote. Cassidy in Cranbrook, so on top of our move! Everybody that reached out regarding our move was more than informative and helpful when our bin was.on the move. Five stars goes to Robert in Nanaimo for his professionalism not only on the phone, but delivery of our bin. Courteous, friendly and personable. Such a great company that obviously guides their staff to greatness! Moving can be quite stressful and they turned it into great experience. Very smooth and efficient operation!
Used BSB to move cities, with storage of the container for a period of time. The pick up and drop off drivers were great at communicating and the staff helped sort a permit for street parking the box while it was being unloaded. Hopefully I dont need to move again anytime soon but if I do I will use their services again!
