Packing and loading your portable storage container properly will depend on what kind of materials or goods you’re storing in it. For residential or moving use, pack your items in boxes or plastic totes, store like items with like, and arrange things with the heaviest items on the bottom of your container. For tools or equipment, keep the items you need most often at the front of your container for easy access. Never stack items or boxes on unstable bases or at unsafe heights, as this can increase the risk of injury.  

Depending on your container’s use, you may or may not need a permit for your portable storage container. Examples of instances where you will require a permit for your portable shipping container include: 

• Keeping your container stored on your residential property 
• Placing your container in a city or a highly-populated area 
• Placing your container near highly trafficked areas, government buildings, or schools 

If you’re unsure as to whether or not you’ll need a permit for your container, you can always consult with Minn Dak Containers as we guide you through the container purchasing process. Before buying your container, you should also contact your local government office to determine if you’ll need a permit, as many municipalities/counties/cities have different policies depending on your location and your container’s use.
