Secure your gear. Control your site. Keep your crew on track.
Not all portable storage is built for the job site. And while national brands like Pods® might be fine for driveways and moving day, contractors across Vermont, New Hampshire, and Western Massachusetts know better:
When your tools, materials, and timeline are on the line, you need real steel.
Here’s how Brattleboro Portable Storage compares to national container brands and why more pros are choosing our Conex-style storage units for staging, security, and on-site reliability.
Build Quality: Steel Containers vs. Lightweight Alternatives
Brattleboro Portable Storage delivers steel storage containers – the same rugged construction used to haul freight overseas. These are built to handle rough terrain, weather, and wear.
Pods® and similar brands often use fiberglass or composite shells, designed more for suburban driveways than muddy job sites.
Why it matters:
Framing crews, subs, and site managers don’t have time for leaks or warping. Our containers take a beating and keep your gear dry.
Real Security for Real Tools
When you’re storing copper piping, compressors, or power tools, a plastic latch won’t cut it.
Our containers: Reinforced steel doors with locking hasps for padlocks, puck locks, or both.
Theirs: Lightweight roll-up doors with limited locking options.
Why it matters:
Tool theft is real – especially on rural or unmanned sites. Contractors who trust roll-up doors often end up replacing gear, not just storing it.
Interior Capacity That Works for Crews
A 20’ steel container holds around 1,170 cubic feet. A 40-footer? Over 2,300 cubic feet. That’s space designed for work – not just couches and boxes.
What fits in a 20’:
- Job boxes, ladders, and PPE
- Palletized bags of materials
- Framing lumber up to ~19’3″
- Light shelving or tool racks
Need access from both ends? Ask about our double-door options – great for staging multiple trades or organizing phased material drops.
We Deliver to the Jobsite, Not Just the Suburbs
You’re not working on cul-de-sacs. And we’re not afraid of a little mud.
Our local drivers know how to navigate Vermont slopes, tight rural lots, and job sites with zero margin for error.
We place containers where you need them, not just where it’s easy to drop off.
National brands? You’ll be lucky to get a third-party driver on a rigid schedule – and they’re often limited on where they’ll place the unit.
Contractor-Friendly Terms
Working with us means working with people who get it.
- Priority delivery for contractors
- Flexible rental terms, month-to-month or long-term
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
- Interim storage between job sites or during phasing
- Local support if something changes (and it always does)
We don’t nickel-and-dime. We deliver, we communicate, and we work around your schedule—because we know project timelines aren’t set in stone.
Who We Work With
We support builders and trades of all types, including:
- General contractors
- Framing crews
- Electricians and HVAC teams
- Utility and telecom contractors
- Restoration professionals
- Cannabis facility builders
- Ski area infrastructure crews (and yes, we deliver in snow as long as the roads are safe)
Protect Your Site and Your Bottom Line
Before you rent a plastic box with a 1-800 number, ask yourself:
Will that container actually protect your tools, your materials, or your schedule?
We’re a local team, delivering real storage, for real job sites.
