Oversize Storage Melbourne

Mobile self-storage offers convenient, portable solutions for storing belongings. Ezebox provides various container sizes, security features, flexible rental terms, and expert packing services, ensuring a secure and hassle-free experience.

In recent years, the self-storage industry has witnessed significant growth and transformation. Evolving consumer needs and technological advancements contribute to this increased popularity. Additionally, due to changes in lifestyle and the increase in population, spaces have become more challenging to find. Thus, self-storage is a great solution.

Unlike traditional self-storage, mobile self-storage in Melbourne is a portable solution, so you don’t need to transport your belongings to a facility. At Ezebox, we send our representatives to your location, pick up your items, pack them up, load them onto our containers, and then store them for you.         

Renting a mobile self-storage facility has its share of benefits. We offer convenient portable storage units for a fast, easy, and safe solution.

Choosing the Right Mobile Self-Storage Facility

Size Options: Contemporary mobile self-storage units are available in various sizes, such as 8-ft, 16-ft, and 20-foot containers. Depending on your specific needs, you can choose the one that best fits your needs. Small units are usually ideal for small items, like boxes, seasonal decorations, and walk-in closet items. Medium units are suitable for storing the contents of one-bedroom apartments, including couches and appliances. Large units are ideal for storing commercial equipment, inventory, or furniture.

Container Types: Various containers are available, such as standard, insulated, and climate-controlled containers. At Ezebox, we offer a variety of mobile self storage solutions tailored to your needs.

Security Features:

We have mobile storage facilities with security features, such as 24/7 surveillance, secure access controls, and monitored facilities. These measures ensure the safety and security of your items. Plus, access to the storage units is limited to our staff and the consumer who owns the unit. Our unique security seal in each storage unit allows customers to verify if the unit has remained unopened during storage.

Location:

Check out the location when choosing portable storage facilities. A well-located facility makes it easier to load and unload your belongings. Ezebox was created to remove the stress caused by moving. We bring the storage space to you, eliminating the need for prolonged transportation.
