Frequently Asked Questions
How much space is required for delivery?
The amount of space required for delivery is minimal. For a 20′ storage container, you will need approximately 75 feet of straight clearance. For a 40′ container, you will need approximately 110 feet of straight clearance. The width requirement is approximately 10 feet.
How is the container delivered?
The driver will back into the area, raise his trailer up approximately 15 feet in the air, and then, the container will slide off the back of the trailer onto the ground. The driver will need to pull straight out from under the container.
Is there any site preparation necessary?
The only thing you need to worry about is that the surface is fairly level, smooth, and firm. We can deliver on dirt as long as it is not too soft. We can also deliver on cement, pavement, asphalt, gravel or grass.
How long will delivery take from the time of order?
Normal delivery time can be as quick as same day or 2-3 business days, providing you are not having any modifications done to the unit. If you need something sooner, we will do our best to accommodate your schedule.
What type of modifications will you do?
We can add extra doors, windows, and partitions, as well as cut containers down to custom sizes. Other nonstandard modifications are also available.
What if I want shelving?
We can install brackets (shelf supports) to the units upon request. The customer is responsible for their own wood or steel to rest on the shelving brackets.
How is my lock protected?
All of our rental storage containers come equipped with a steel lock box welded to the outside of the unit. The lock box conceals and protects your lock from being tampered with. If you plan to purchase a container, we would recommend a lock box addition to your container.
Are the containers waterproof?
Yes. We water-test all of our storage containers before they leave our delivery yard to be sure they do not leak. The completely enclosed containers will keep wind and rain out, so your contents stay dry and secure. When the interior temperature becomes lower, outside condensation can occur within the container. The amount of condensation is minimal, although small amounts of moisture can still form within the container.
What if my container needs repair?
Hugg & Hall Mobile Storage will maintain the unit throughout the term of the rental period. If you need maintenance, simply give us a call and we will come out promptly. Regular maintenance repairs are free of charge.
What color are the containers?
“As is” containers come in various colors and are labeled from the shipping line. Our standard rental units are painted beige to blend in with your surroundings. Sale units can be painted a variety of colors. We recommend neutral colors that blend in such as beige, gray, light green, or dark green.
