Published: April 15, 2023

Portable storage containers have become a popular solution for individuals and businesses looking for convenient and secure storage options. However,  UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Phoenix wants to offer more variety! Our newest addition to our container sizes is the 8′ x 8′ x 8′ container. This container can hold a surprising amount of items despite its compact size.

Residential Storage Needs

If you’re using this size container for residential purposes, you can fit most of the furniture from a one-bedroom apartment, including a bed, dresser, couch, and small dining set. You can also fit several boxes of household items, such as kitchenware, linens, and clothing. If you have larger items, such as bicycles or outdoor furniture, those can also fit inside with a bit of rearranging.

Commercial Storage Needs

For businesses, an 8′ x 8′ x 8′ UNITS container can hold the contents of a small office, including desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and electronics. You can also fit several boxes of documents and supplies. If you have larger items, such as equipment or machinery, those can also fit inside with some creative organization.

Properly Packing

When it comes to determining what can fit inside an 8′ x 8′ x 8′ UNITS container, it largely depends on what you’re looking to store. However, as a general rule of thumb, this size container can hold the contents of a one-bedroom apartment or a small office space.

It’s important to note that while our new 8′ x 8′ x 8′ containers can hold a lot, it’s important to pack your items efficiently to maximize the space. Consider using shelves or stacking boxes to utilize the vertical space inside the container. It’s also a good idea to label boxes and make an inventory of your items to make it easier to find what you need later.

Additionally, if you’re using a portable storage container for an extended period of time, consider investing in climate control options to protect your belongings from extreme temperatures and humidity. That is why we offer our climate-controlled storage facility! This facility can be used not just for off-site, long-term storage options but to protect valuables from being damaged by outside elements.

In summary, our new 8′ x 8′ x 8′ UNITS containers can hold a surprising amount of items, making storage options for both residential and business use. By packing your items efficiently and utilizing the vertical space, you can maximize the number of items you can store inside.
