Storage Trailers vs Storage Facilities: Top 5 Benefits of Buying a Trailer Instead of a Storage Facility

6 x 12 Double Door Trailer

Are you debating between choosing a storage facility or a storage container trailer to store things? 

When you need extra storage space, you often think of storage facilities — you know, the typical storage lockers where you pay a monthly rate for a closet-sized space in a stuffy building. But these facilities can be inconvenient, especially if you need easy access to the items you’re storing.

A storage trailer gives you greater flexibility in how you store and access your items. Trailers come in different sizes to fit your needs perfectly. Better yet, there is no monthly fee you’re throwing away for someone to let you use their facilities.

Keep reading to learn more benefits of choosing a trailer over a traditional storage facility.

1. On-site Storage

One of the biggest perks of using a storage trailer is being able to keep your stored items on-site.

With a storage facility, you’re stuck with whatever location you find. It might be miles away from your home or business.

That means you have to drive every time you want access to the stored items. That can be inconvenient and waste a lot of time.

You can park a storage trailer on your property, so your belongings are always near. This makes it easy to access the items whenever you need them.

2. Long-term Cost Savings

Storage facilities charge you monthly rental fees for as long as you use them. You’ll pay forever as long as you need the storage space.

When you buy a storage trailer, you’re paying more upfront. But you don’t have the monthly fees for using the storage facility. 

You don’t need to worry about remembering to pay the storage facility each month at the risk of losing your belongings.

3. Portability

When you choose a storage facility, your stuff is stuck in that location. If you want to move it to a different part of town or even to a different city, you have to find a new facility. You’ll also need to rent a truck to move all of the stuff.

With a storage trailer, you can move the storage any time you want. This makes moving much easier.

It’s also convenient if you’re using it to store work equipment or supplies. You can easily move the trailer to different work sites so you always have the things you need.

4. Easy Access

Storage trailers are easy to access. Unlike a storage facility where you might have to drive to the back of the facility or climb several flights of stairs to get to your storage space.

With a trailer, you can easily reach your stored items. Many trailers also have multiple door options that let you reach different parts of the trailer.

5. Full Control & Security

When you have a storage trailer on-site, you have full control over how you use it. You decide what goes into it without any restrictions.

You also have full control over the security of the trailer. You can use secure locks and direct security cameras toward the trailer to increase the security of the things you store.

When you use a storage facility, you’re bound to their restrictions and security features. There might be limitations on the things you can store in the facility.

You also don’t have any control over the type of security features the facility uses. This can leave your items at risk for theft.

Choose a Storage Container Trailer

Using a storage container trailer can benefit you in many ways. It’s the best way to have full control and easy access to your belongings.
