6 Questions to Ask Before Renting a Storage Container

If you are going to rent a storage container for a construction project or additional storage, hold for a moment. You may require an established container company.

Take a look at the suggestions given by our experts to make the best bet on a provider for top-class containers. Hope you will make the best use of our suggestions.

1. Do we require a permission to use containers?

Some municipal rules in the USA may prohibit the use of containers so it is better to get in touch with the local municipal council to ensure containers you are going to buy will not violate the local municipal ordinances in any way.

2. What size of containers do we need?

Before moving to the container providers, get your requirement of renting a container streamlined. Once you are sure with what size container best fits your requirement, ask the potential container providers about the size of container they have in stock of generally containers’ size range from 10 ft. to 45 feet. The decision to choose a particular size of container is up to you, which can be decided on the usage and budget. At Lotus Containers, we rent containers for both on-site

storage and mobile offices.

3. How much space required for unloading?

A proper amount of area is essential for easy unloading of the containers. We expect the area where unloading happens to be flat and obstacle-free, so that our driver can maneuver the load into place. We may need at least 14 feet of clearance from the ground level and 12-foot wide clearance tree stems and utility lines should not be an obstacle for the unloading.

4. What is the timeframe for rent?

Standard industry time period for storage container rental is 28 days. When it comes to renting containers from LOTUS Containers, customers may have to bear the delivery charge, first month’s rent and security deposit beforehand.
