About our moving containers.
Weather
Our moving containers 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 moving containers in a variety of sizes: 8’, 10’ and 20’. The contents of a typically furnished 2 – 4 bedroom home will usually fit into a 20’ BigSteelBox.
Security
Our new rental containers 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.
15,000 lbs. Weight Capacity
A 20′ BigSteelBox can hold up to 15,000 lbs. That’s more than three times the weight capacity of most 16′ moving containers!
Tie Down Hooks
D-ring hooks are located every 4ft. along the top and bottom edges of the inside of the container to make it easy to secure your load for transport.
Extremely impressed with the quality of service. The box was delivered on time, carefully and exactly where we wanted it. It was clean and in great condition. When we were finished, pickup was arranged within a couple of days, and the driver reached out to let us know exactly when he would arrive. Pick up was seamless. The price was competitive and the service excellent. Five stars all the way. Thank you for making one part of. Our renovations stress free.
We have worked with Big Steel Box and specifically Mike and Chad the last few years on multiple residential renovation projects and they always deliver. On time, reliable, and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!
The container showed up on time, they were careful with how it was set on the driveway as per my concern, it was picked up on time, and the whole payment process was a cinch. As I wasn't moving straight away, the container was sent to the Carp location until I needed access to it. As I had to go and empty the unit before my next move, I ended up going to the yard to do so and having a junk removal company join me. Access to the yard was easy to complete, the person at the yard was super helpful and everything was really easy to complete. Much cheaper than a storage locker for long term storage. Just remember to pack your items well. I did end up with a cracked screen on my tv from when the container was moved about, but that's about all that suffered in transit :)
