Moving Containers: Durham Moving & Storage FAQs
General Questions About Moving Containers
What are moving containers?
Moving containers are storage containers delivered directly to your home, business, or project site. Triangle Mobile Storage provides one 20′ x 8′ x 8′ container size with barn-type doors. You load on your schedule, then choose whether to keep the container on-site, move it to our secure off-site storage location, or have it relocated locally.

Yes. Moving containers can be used for temporary storage during remodeling, decluttering, staging, downsizing, estate projects, and business needs.

This company is wonderful. They are warm, friendly, and straight forward about their pricing and options. They are so easy to work with, and have very quick response times in terms of the pick up and delivery of the storage buildings. I would HIGHLY recommend them and will use them again if temporary, mobile storage needs arise.
