Self-storage or mobile storage: Evan can help you choose the best solution for you.
Businesses across the Mid-Atlantic region have various storage needs, and yours might just be one of them. There are many reasons that a company might need extra storage space, whether it is for seasonal inventory overflow, building renovations, shipping, construction, or more. Two significant storage solutions are self-storage and mobile storage containers. How do they compare? Evan Transportation offers both options in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Accessibility
Mobile storage units are unique in that they keep the storage solution at home on your commercial property. If you need to access tools, inventory, or other materials at your location, then a mobile storage unit is a fantastic solution.
Self-storage units are in specific locations to which you must drive, which is the disadvantage of self-storage vs. mobile storage containers.
Size
How scalable the storage size is matters in your rental choice as well. Thankfully, both storage rentals and container rentals offer flexibility in this area. You can find a solution that meets your commercial storage needs, no more and no less, without a problem.
Temperature Control
You can find temperature-controlled self-storage units and mobile storage units. Self-storage units usually have temperature control, but mobile storage will have non-temperature-controlled options, which are ideal for construction tools and other equipment that is meant for outdoor use.
Security
Mobile storage units are made of hefty steel and metal and have secure access control. They are built to withstand the elements and strong forces. Storage rentals also have security and, being parts of a building, have even more security features like security cameras, security lighting, and access control systems.
Rental Agreements
Mobile storage is more likely to have very flexible rental agreements. With Evan Transportation, you can find the flexible rental terms you need with either option. Our rentals are available for short or long-term use.
Costs
In general, self-storage units cost less than mobile storage units. However, the costs may even out due to the transportation costs. Even if self-storage rentals cost less, you will still need to count the additional cost of transportation.
