The Hassle of Outdated Moving Methods
Moving has traditionally been a daunting task, involving multiple trips, heavy lifting, and the need to drive large and awkward moving trucks. Not only was this process time-consuming and physically demanding, but it also posed safety risks and increased the chances of damage to belongings. Furthermore, fuel costs, fees and damage charges not covered by insurance could cost an arm and a leg.
This expensive and outdated way of moving left many individuals longing for a more modern, convenient, and efficient solution.
Early Mobile Containers
The early introduction of mobile storage containers were modeled after shipping containers. Shipping containers marked a significant shift in the transportation industry due to its convenience, durability and ease of use. It’s no wonder that the idea to create a residential commercial use variation was developed.
It’s been several years that portable storage containers have been in use now and this thriving industry has come such a long way! From old school rollback tow trucks, to the new and improved state-of-the-art hydraulic lift system allowing for safer, precise, and more efficient loading and unloading procedure. Not to mention, it’s soooo cool to see it in action.
These containers, often made of durable materials, provided a secure and portable solution for transporting belongings. They were primarily used for on-site storage during renovation projects or temporary storage needs. While a step in the right direction, these early containers had limitations in terms of convenience, size options, and ease of transportation.
MI-BOX: Helping to Innovate the Mobile Storage Industry
Although MI-BOX did not create the first hydraulic lift system for mobile storage solutions, it certainly helped to spread awareness of this revolutionary tech as well as help ease the stress of how we move and store our belongings. The innovative lift system evenly raises and lowers the containers onto the back of the truck, minimizing the risk of damage and providing a smooth and secure journey from start to finish.

MI-BOX offers three convenient sizes of mobile storage containers, allowing customers to mix and match to meet their specific needs. Our storage units even fit standard sized driveways for added convenience.
