PODS CONTAINERS ARE DESIGNED FOR PROTECTION & CONVENIENCE
Sturdy Steel Construction
PODS steel-frame, weather-resistant containers are built to keep your belongings protected from the elements. Watch out for some companies that advertise their containers as “all steel,” which may only be lightweight metal sheeting that offers no added security for your belongings.
Impact-Resistant Wall Paneling
PODS containers are specially designed with impact- and weather-resistant high-tech polymer wall panels, or sturdy wood reinforced with an aluminum exterior sheet for extra security and protection.
Safe & Secure
Since you own the lock and key, you’re the only one who has access to your stuff.
Built-In Tie-Down Rings
Convenient tie-down rings enable you to secure your belongings for transit with ropes or straps.
Convenient Roll-Up Door
Unlike swing doors, our roll-up doors don’t require as much space to open. This means you have more room in your driveway.
Ramp-Free Loading
PODS containers make loading easier with ground-level access.
