3. Portable Business Storage During Renovation of hotels and restaurants

Mobile storage gives space for renovation and expansion of your business premises so operations can continue flawlessly.

Business premises such as restaurants and hotels need to remain clean and organized even during renovations.

Hotels need to keep updating their designs, structures, and rooms; hence, they will have renovations taking place from time to time. The best financial decision for hotels is renting portable storage units, which keep all their items safe and in a good state. GoBox portable storage offers affordable containers with enough space to store all items.

Mobile storage is great for storing computers, stock, office supplies, dishware, legal documents, tools, materials, and patio furniture.

In most cases, restaurants close down while renovations occur, which doesn’t have to be the case. Instead of closing down, you can rent portable storage containers to store your supplies and equipment.

GoBox portable storage can provide weather-safe and pest-free containers next to your restaurant. A container close by helps maintain customers coming in instead of closing. The security of our containers is enhanced by using a lockbox on the padlock.

4. Seasonal Equipment Storage

All businesses have seasonal equipment which doesn’t need to be kept ready year round. Pieces of equipment such as Bobcats, shovels, and blowers are primarily used during winter. On the other hand, brooms and lawnmowers are used in summer. Such equipment is helpful to us in different seasons, and we cannot throw them away. GoBox portable storage can provide a container to help you secure such items while out of season.

GoBox portable storage has provided containers for schools, churches, and organizations. Items such as cabinets, chairs, tables, and desks can be kept away in containers to avoid damage. Some organizations and schools have opted to have a permanent portable container since they need the storage all year round.

Mobile storage units are the best place to store items you need to use occasionally. Apart from keeping our items safe, storage containers can be placed next to your business so you can access your items at any time.

I’ve been using Rob’s storage since January 2025. I started with a 10x10 unit and now use one of his Go Box containers, plus I store my utility trailer there when it’s not in use. Rob has always been great to work with — super flexible, quick to respond, and very accommodating. Great service and great prices. Highly recommend!

A Fabulous experience! We rented space at the facility and also had a storage box on our property for the last two years during a renovation. The service provided was amazing and also very quick responses when we had questions. great security at the gate and often someone popped by to see how things are going while you are unloading. (A bit more security…). Would recommend 100%!

Rob was great. He was quick to reply and easy to coordinate with. The equipment used was top notch. When they load and unload the sea can there’s no tipping it’s really smooth. Nothing was damaged during the move. I couldn’t be happier. If I was to move again I’m using gobox. Thanks again Rob.

We recently rented an 8' x 8' x 20' sea-can from GoBox Portable Storage for four weeks during renovations to our home. The price was reasonable & Rob was great to deal with. We received prompt professional service from delivery to pick-up. I thoroughly recommend GoBox Portable Storage should you have any need for a portable storage container.

GoBox was amazing to deal with and made our transition to our new home worry free.
We had eight weeks between moving out and moving in.
GoBox provided safe and secure storage during that time.
Both Rob and Gord were flexible and easy to deal with, as we had many changes that occurred planning our move in date. It’s was incredible how they were able synchronize the delivery and removal of our three boxes to enable our hired movers to work efficiently.
We would recommend them highly!!

We wanted a c-Can so we searched for a few companies Go Box fit the bill. Not only were they cheaper than the others. But we had the added bonus of going to the storage yard and picking the c-can that we wanted.
They are all nice and clean and painted
When Gord delivered it to our spot. He made sure it landed exactly where we wanted it. Not only did he arrive on time, but he made sure it was levelled. What a great company with an excellent employee
Thanks the Brenton’s

I was posted to Kingston and needed a large storage unit as I was moving from a bigger house to smaller house. Rob responded quickly to my request. I got a large 8x20 outdoor container and it was perfect for my needs. There were zero issues with access and after almost 2 years zero signs of any rodents or leaks. The price was the best I found for the Kingston area and the secure access in and out gave me piece of mind.

Quick and easy service for drop-off and pick-up. Used a GoBox for storage while having a house renovated. Saved us the hassle of loading vehicles and driving back and forth to an off-site storage unit. Just walked out into our driveway and had access to the stored items throughout the renovations. Very convenient!

Exceptional Moving Experience with GoBox!

"I recently used GoBox Portable storage services for my move, and I was blown away by their exceptional service! From the initial consultation to the final delivery, Rob and his team at GoBox was professional, efficient, and courteous. Their portable storage was clean, secure, and easy to use. They were very careful with my belongings during transfers and the pricing was very reasonable.
They were on time for the delivery, transfer and pickup services.
I highly recommend GoBox to anyone looking for an stress-free moving experience. Well done, GoBox team!"

GoBox Storage is absolutely incredible. Their storage bins are superior to anything else you will find, as they are solid and secure, will ensure your possessions stay dry, and the boxes are well ventilated. The service is also fantastic. Rob is quick to respond, was very accommodating for required moves, and the method of moving the bins is really impressive (bin stays level so nothing inside will tip). Finally, the pricing is very fair. I highly recommend GoBox Storage!

It’s always a pleasure to see Rob, and support a local business. As much as I like Rob, and try to support locally, if the quality of product/service isn’t to the highest degree, and my experience as a client isn’t smooth, seamless, and stress free, I would feel no obligation to continue my support.
FORTUNATELY, none of these things are a concern when dealing with GoBox Portable Storage Inc.
From my initial call, to the wave goodbye when my container was picked up, everything was FLAWLESS.
Effective communication, simple terms, competitive pricing, attention to detail, the use of technology,… all of these things contributed to the best experience I could have asked for.

My specific application was a narrow driveway between two houses, and a tight backyard. Rob’s precision, and care in navigating obstacles to initially land, then months later pick up my container was masterful.
No damage, no close calls, no stress.

I will certainly use GoBox Portable Storage Inc. again.

Thanks for everything, Rob.

So happy with the delivery of the container today! I was totally prepared to "make do" with locating it at a space that I thought was most accessible for him but he was able to place the container in a preferred spot thanks to the system he uses to move the container off the truck. I had never seen anything like this - using remote control to operate the machine that moves the container - no worrying about the truck being able to fit into a tight space! I totally recommend this service if you are looking for affordable, clean, convenient extra storage on site.

We rented a go box while doing a home renovation, it was great putting our appliances and furniture right outside our front door. We could bring pieces in as the reno moved along. Price is very comparable to a storage facility but didn’t have to hire truck or movers to get from storage facility. It only took Rob 20 minutes to unload storage container right onto my front yard ( my choice) , ten feet from my front door. Very neat , manoeuvrable unit that loads/unloads the container, makes so Rob can put it almost anywhere. Highly recommend!

We recently moved from a large house to a much smaller house and needed a storage solution to allow us to sort things out without storing offsite. GoBox fit the bill perfectly. They gently lowered the container onto wooden blocks on the driveway with their amazing container mover. It didn't leave a single mark on the driveway. A very cost effective storage solution. I highly recommend them.
