School Storage FAQ

What are the benefits of storage trailers for schools?

Storage trailers provide schools with a bridge solution during construction delays, safe and economical storage for textbooks and equipment, convenient on-campus mobility and access, and hassle-free delivery directly to the school. These benefits help educational institutions overcome storage challenges and efficiently manage resources during construction, renovations, and beyond.

How do storage trailers help schools during construction delays?

48-foot and 53-foot storage trailers offer temporary storage solutions for schools experiencing growth or storage constraints due to construction delays. When projects are on hold or facing financial constraints, trailers serve as a bridge solution until government finances improve and construction can resume. They provide additional storage space to accommodate school needs during the transition period.

What school items can be stored in storage trailers?

Storage trailers can accommodate a wide range of school items including textbooks and educational materials, office furniture and filing cabinets, laboratory equipment and science supplies, athletic equipment and sports gear, musical instruments, art supplies and project materials, seasonal decorations, archived student records, technology equipment, and classroom furniture during renovations.

Can storage trailers be placed directly on school campuses?

Yes, storage trailers and shipping containers can be co-located directly on school campuses. This eliminates the need to rely on distant warehouses across town. Trailers can be strategically placed within school premises for easy access to stored items, reducing the time and effort required for retrieval. This convenience allows schools to efficiently manage storage needs without traveling to off-site locations.

Do schools need their own equipment to receive storage trailer deliveries?

No, schools do not need their own tractors or transportation equipment. Express Mobile Storage Solutions offers delivery services directly to school campuses. The company handles all delivery logistics, making the process convenient and hassle-free for school administration. Trailers are positioned exactly where needed on campus for optimal accessibility.

Are storage trailers secure enough for valuable school equipment?

Yes, storage trailers provide secure protection for valuable educational resources and equipment. They feature heavy-duty steel construction, reliable locking mechanisms, and weather-resistant seals that protect contents from theft, vandalism, and weather damage. This security is essential for expensive laboratory equipment, technology, musical instruments, and archived records.

How do storage trailers help during school renovations?

Storage trailers provide essential support during school renovations by offering secure, accessible storage for classroom furniture, equipment, and supplies displaced by construction work. Items can be stored on-campus in trailers and quickly returned to renovated spaces when work is complete. This minimizes disruption to educational activities and protects school assets from construction dust and damage.

Can storage trailers accommodate seasonal school storage needs?

Yes, storage trailers are ideal for seasonal school storage needs. Athletic equipment can be stored during off-seasons, holiday decorations can be kept secure year-round, and summer program materials can be stored when not in use. Schools can rent trailers for specific periods or maintain year-round storage for rotating seasonal items, optimizing available indoor space.

How cost-effective are storage trailers for school boards?

Storage trailers offer a cost-effective storage solution for school boards compared to building permanent storage facilities or leasing off-site warehouse space. Schools pay only for the storage capacity they need, when they need it. This flexibility is especially valuable for temporary needs during construction or renovation projects, avoiding long-term infrastructure investments.

What size storage trailers are available for schools?

Express Group offers storage trailers in various sizes to match school storage needs. Options include 53-foot trailers providing approximately 3,400 cubic feet for large-scale storage during major construction projects, 48-foot trailers for mid-size requirements, and smaller units for specific departmental needs.
