Portable Storage Containers or Self-Storage?

Storage That Adapts to You — Not the Other Way Around

When most people search for a storage unit, they imagine a fixed facility with long corridors and limited hours. But what if storage was something you could design around your life, not just settle for?

At Secure-Rite, we offer both portable storage containers and self-storage units so you don’t have to choose between flexibility and security. Whether you’re renovating your home, moving across town, or storing your business inventory, you can customize a solution that actually fits your timeline, lifestyle, and space.


What Is a Portable Storage Container?

A portable storage container (also known as a shipping container or sea can) is a secure, wind-and-watertight steel unit delivered right to your home, business, or job site. You load it at your own pace, and you decide where it stays — onsite with you, or offsite in one of our secure storage yards.

Key Features:

  • Delivered to your driveway, job site, or commercial property
  • Load and unload when it works for you
  • Store it on your property or in our secure yard
  • Durable, weather-resistant, and equipped with high-security lockboxes

Portable storage puts you in the driver’s seat. You choose where, when, and how — while we take care of the heavy lifting.


What Is Self-Storage?

Self-storage is a classic solution for customers who want their items stored safely offsite in a drive-up accessible unit. At Secure-Rite, our self-storage locations in Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, Surrey, and Calgary are designed for convenience, cleanliness, and cost transparency.

Whether you’re storing personal items, business inventory, or seasonal gear, self-storage provides peace of mind and a secure space that’s always nearby.

When to Use One — or Both

Not sure which storage option is right for you? You might not need to choose at all. Many Secure-Rite clients combine portable and self-storage to build the perfect plan.

Use Portable Containers When You Need:

  • Onsite access to tools or furniture during a renovation
  • Flexibility to load and unload at your pace
  • A moving solution that doesn’t require renting a truck

Use Self-Storage When You Need:

  • Long-term offsite storage for extra inventory or personal belongings
  • A clean, accessible space for seasonal gear
  • Drive-up access at a secure facility

Use Both When You’re:

  • Moving or downsizing: Start by loading a portable container, then move longer-term items into self-storage at your new destination
  • Running a business: Keep active inventory onsite and archive documents or overflow in a Secure-Rite yard
  • Preparing for a renovation: Store tools on your property, and keep your valuables offsite for safekeeping
