• What’s the Difference Between Mobile Self-Storage & Kent Mobile Storage?

    In Australia's mobile storage industry, we've got all sorts of names for stashing your stuff on the go - think "portable container", "portable pod", "mobile container", "mobile storage container", "mobile unit", "mobile pod", "relocatable storage", "mobile storage on wheels" - you name it. However, it's the popular phrases of "mobile self storage" and "mobile storage" that can cause the most confusion. While they might sound like twins, they're more like cousins. Let's clear up the confusion and explain what each one's all about.
    1.  Mobile Self Storage: This type of service is particularly focused on the 'self-service' aspect. It typically involves a storage company delivering a mobile unit to your home or business. You are then responsible for packing and loading the unit yourself. Once you have filled the unit, the company collects it and stores it at their facility - depending on your selected storage company this may be a self-storage facility or traditional storage facility. The key aspect of mobile self storage is that you have the convenience of loading the mobile storage unit at your own pace and on your premises.
    2. Mobile Storage: This mobile storage term is broader, and can envelope more comprehensive mobile storage services depending on the size, resources and infrastructure of the storage company. While it still includes the DIY aspect of mobile self-storage and delivery of the unit to your desired location, the customer has the choice and flexibility to choose add-on services such as packing, loading, or unloading. In some cases, mobile storage services might also refer to services where the storage company provides larger, on-the-go storage solutions for events, commercial use, or during relocation.
    Both mobile self storage and mobile storage services provide the convenience of not having to transport items to a self-storage or traditional facility yourself. The main difference lies in who is responsible for packing and loading the items – with mobile self storage, it's the customer; with mobile storage, a storage company, like Kent Storage, will offer more comprehensive services including packing, loading and transportation to make life easy.
