The latest trend in moving and storage these days is portable storage. The fastest growing company is this market is 1-800-Pack-Rat, LLC. They credit their rapid growth to customer’s interest in “finding simple and flexible solutions to stressful life events, such as moving, buying and selling a home, downsizing, and renovating.”

Back in 2001 an entrepreneur in North Carolina was determined to come up with an idea to make storage both simpler and easier. With his sketch of a weatherproof portable container and the help of one of the best heavy equipment manufacturers in the country, Pack Rat was born.

The idea that revolutionized the storage industry is an all steal container that can be lifted and moved, with up to 8,500 pounds packed inside, without swaying or shifting. Customers can pack just about anything in this container, so the name Pack Rat was ideal. With the ability to easily move the Pack Rat, storage became portable creating an innovative way to move or store your stuff.

Pack Rat has taken the stress and hassle out of moving day. Typically, the movers are set to arrive at certain time in the morning. Inevitably, customers are rarely ready for their arrival – staying up late the night before feverishly trying to complete the packing. Even if you are moving yourself, the rush is on to pick up the rental truck at 8 am when the store opens and then you are on the clock – hefty fees can apply if you exceed the reserved time.

With Pack Rat, there’s no rush – in fact you don’t even need to leave your home. Customers simply call to schedule the delivery of their Pack Rat unit. It can be loaded at your convenience. Some even go so far as to pack one room at a time. There’s no rush to get your entire house packed in one day. Once your unit is loaded it can be moved to your new location or stored in Pack Rat’s secure climate-controlled warehouses.

Pack Rat is also perfect for renovations or remodels. Simply have a Pack Rat delivered and temporarily store items from that room out of the way. No hassle of renting a moving truck and a storage unit, just walk to the Pack Rat on your property and you are done!

When storing your belongings, loading the truck is only half the work. After that there’s the hassle of driving to the storage unit and unloading all your stuff again. With Pack Rat, once you load it – you are done. Your Pack Rat is loaded onto a moving truck and then becomes the storage unit.

In addition to the obvious convenience of not having to rent a moving truck and storage unit, there are other benefits that may be over looked. Remember the ramp on trucks? Pack Rats are at ground level, so no more walking up and down with those heavy items. Additionally, moving trucks not only are a pain to drive, but you have to pay for the mileage and gas as well.
