18ft Extra Wide Mobile Storage Containers

Portable storage units are divided into two groups: standard and extra-wide. Standard units are great for…well….standard-sized jobs. But sometimes life calls for more than just your basic unit, and this is where Mobile Mini’s 18ft storage containers really shine. 

 

These units are extra-wide, which means that they provide an extra two feet of width when compared to our standard units. This allows you to create an aisle that allows you to store inventory on both sides of your container and easily view your stored items. Those two feet can also make a huge difference when you’re trying to get some large construction equipment through a small opening with all hands, arms, and egos intact. 

 

If you’re trying to decide if our 18ft containers are for you, it’s helpful to know exactly what they are and what they aren’t. Let’s get started!

What Is an 18ft Container?

 

18ft storage containers, 18ft shipping containers, and 18ft containers are all the same thing. They encompass standalone portable storage units that give you the storage space to accommodate oversized supplies, items, and equipment. 

 

At Mobile Mini, all of our portable storage units are made from converted shipping containers. Yes, those shipping containers. While they may seem like an odd choice for a commercial storage unit, these steel beasts were designed to move the world’s most valuable cargo through impossible terrains and waterways. Their durability makes them the safest choice for your valuable business equipment.

Clearance 

A clearance of 60’ is required for our 18’ containers. Our trucks require a 21’ vertical clearance for loading and unloading containers. We can provide a free site check, where one of our drivers will come out and determine the most appropriate location.  

Premium Single Entry

For simple access to your stored items, a single entry will control access to only those with the key. Mobile Mini’s premium doors allows access with one hand for ease and convenience.

 

Brackets and Rails for Shelving
Our customized brackets and rails shelving system is available as one of our permanent portable storage options. Brackets and Rails can accommodate shelves of different widths at any height. (Brackets and rails are not available at all locations.)

Delivery

Whether you need one unit or a hundred across the country, our dedicated drivers will swiftly and carefully deliver your unit directly to your door, and help you find the safest and most convenient place to put it on your site. They can even help show you how to use the specific features on your unit if you need assistance. Because we own trucks we are a reliable and cost-effective solution.

 

Relocation

For customers with long-term logistical needs, we can relocate your empty container to your next jobsite. This additional solution makes us more flexible and responsive to meet your needs. It can also means extra savings for you.

Why Choose an 18-Foot Shipping Container? 

 

There are so many reasons why our extra-wide18ft shipping containers are a great option for your commercial storage needs. Extra-wide means that you have more room to store large or oversized items. Our 18ft storage containers are perfect for a diverse range of job sites, including construction sites, government facilities, retail stores and hospitality sites, and agriculture projects. 

We’ve designed our units to be as compact as possible, allowing you to keep them on-site without taking away valuable retail space or customer square footage. Most of our units fit within a standard parking space and come freshly painted, giving you an aesthetically pleasing, utility-forward unit that won’t be an eyesore to customers or distract from daily operations. 

These versatile units can handle items large and small, but our customers most commonly use our 18-foot shipping containers to store:

  • High-value inventory
  • Construction equipment and supplies 
  • Records and documents 
  • Automotive parts and equipment 
  • Educational supplies
  • Janitorial supplies
  • Medical supplies
  • Agriculture supplies
  • Landscaping tools
  • Excess or unused inventory

 

Our customers come from over 20 industries and sectors, making our storage units multi-purpose and multi-use. Some examples of the industries we serve include:

 

  • Medical Storage: Our 18ft shipping containers are great for housing first response medical supplies and other emergency medical equipment. Hospitals, clinics, and medical offices use these units to create easy access to these items right on-site.
  • Retail Storage: Retail stores love our 18-foot shipping containers because they free up stockroom and showroom space by housing seasonal and excess inventory, documents and records, seasonal decorations and promotional items, and unused equipment and storage displays. 
  • Construction Storage: Construction site management is always a challenge, but our 18ft storage containers make things a little easier. Project managers use these units to house small equipment, fragile or weather-sensitive materials and supplies, and other essential items.
  • Hospitality Storage: Our 18ft containers help restaurants and hotels store unused and seasonal equipment and decorations, furniture, office supplies, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to comply with new COVID-19 regulations.
  • Education Storage: If you’ve ever visited a school, college, or university campus, you know that storage is a constant concern. Educational facilities use our 18ft storage containers to store books, school supplies, tech, furniture, equipment, and other learning supplies on-site, keeping them safe, secure, and ready for student and faculty use.

Benefits of an 18ft Shipping Container

 

When it comes to benefits, our 18-foot shipping containers are not in short supply. The top benefits that our customers get from these units include:

  • Fully Weatherproof: Our 18ft storage containers are fully weatherproof and designed to withstand just about any weather. The secret to their strength is their corrugated steel construction and sealed seams, which keep water, moisture, and other contaminants away from your unit and your equipment.
  • 100%Secure: When it comes to security, Mobile Mini doesn’t play around. Like all of our storage containers, our 18ft shipping containers come standard with our specially designed tri-cam locking system. These locks were customized to seamlessly integrate with our storage containers, offering pick-proof, cut-proof, tamper-proof protection that’s virtually impenetrable. 
  • Portable and TransportableAs we mentioned, our 18-foot shipping containers are easy to transport from location to location. Relocation of empty units comes standard with Mobile Mini rental orders so you never have to worry about your unit breaking or becoming damaged in transport. With this in mind, these units work extremely well for clients who have storage needs spread across multiple regions, cities, or states.
