If you have ever done a large scale move, you know that part of the frustration is in loading up your stuff, moving it from Point A to Point B and then unloading it all again. If you need to temporarily put stuff into storage you can multiply that action because you have to load it into a truck, empty it into storage, take it out of storage and put it into a truck, then take it to your new place and unload once again. The process can be maddening and exhausting to say the least. There is, however, a new method that many homeowners are choosing to use and that is through the help of residential storage solutions.
Portable container storage rental units can be delivered to your home so you can load up your furniture, boxes of clothing, collectibles, housewares and other important items, at your leisure. Don’t spend one day rushing around trying to get everything loaded into the moving truck so you can haul your stuff across town or out of state, only to have to spend the afternoon or evening unloading everything again. Temporary storage for homeowners can be rented on a day-to-day, weekly or monthly basis, depending on your needs.
Choosing a Container Storage Rental
Valtran provides a variety of New Bedford residential containers for homeowners to choose from when making a move. The size and type of storage that you choose will depend on the size of your home, how much stuff you have and the amount of space that you have on site for the storage container to be set up. You can use one large container or two smaller containers, depending on the way you want to make your move.
The types of containers available through Valtran include:
- STANDARD – 10, 20 and 40 foot long ground level storage containers
- HIGH CUBE – 20 and 40 foot long ground level storage containers

What Types of Items Can Be Stored?
When you use our container storage rental units for your next move, it is important to know what types of items can be stored – and what cannot. Just about anything can be placed inside of a storage container, from large sofas, mattresses, bedroom sets and dining room tables to boxes of items from bedrooms and other areas of your home.
The amount of weight and the size of a home that our temporary storage for homeowners can hold will depend on the size and type of unit that you decide to rent. Heavier items, such as tool chests, books, large appliances and other big objects, will quickly increase the amount of weight in your New Bedford residential containers. Make sure to speak with our customer service staff for a better estimate on the size that you will need for your home.
Hazardous items, such as gasoline, propane tanks, chemicals and other related things from your home should be moved separately or disposed of safely before making your move. If you need help with ideas on how to safely move these types of items, our customer service team is here to help. We want to make sure that you get your items safely to your new destination by sharing our knowledge and experience with you.
Moving at Your Own Pace
While we mentioned that you can load your container storage rental at your own pace, understanding the advantages associated with using residential storage solutions will help you decide what type of moving method to choose. Our team can deliver your temporary storage for homeowners to your current location in advance of your move. As you pack up each room you can begin loading everything into the container, reducing the amount of work that you will have to do on the actual day of your move.
Make sure that your items are secured inside the container storage rental. Use tie down rings, packing materials, furniture blankets and any other tools that you would normally use when loading up a moving truck. Put heavier items, such as boxes, down on the floor and stack lighter items on top to prevent shifting, breaking or damage during transportation. Put furniture to the back and sides of your storage container for easier navigation.
Unloading works the same way. We deliver your container storage rental to your new location, set it up and give you all the time you need to unload, unpack and get situated in your new home. Just give us a call when you are ready for us to pick up the storage unit and we will take it away. It really is that easy to make your move without all of the hassle that comes from having to rent a moving truck, drive it to your new home, fill it up with fuel and then get it back to the rental facility.
