About Us

Step 1 of 2

MM slash DD slash YYYY

Founded in 1993, PortaBox Storage started as an alternative to self-storage facilities. Having your storage unit brought to your home was a convenient, cost-effective innovation that caught the public’s attention. No longer would the do-it-yourself storage customer have to:

  • Rent a truck
  • Load their items up into a truck
  • Drive the truck to the storage facility
  • Unload their items off the truck and carry them to their unit
  • Return the truck to the rental agency
  • Rent more storage space than they need

Hansen Bros Moving & Storage has witnessed many innovations in the storage industry since it opened its doors in 1890.  Recognizing the potential of this service, Hansen Bros. acquired PortaBox Storage in November of 2000

PortaBox serves the Greater Seattle/Puget Sound area and Boise, ID

Today, PortaBox Storage continues to lead the portable storage industry by developing stronger, more resilient containers, weather-resistant vinyl covers, double reinforced doors with a sturdy piano hinge, and a heavy-duty lever action locking system.  All of these features ensure your items remain safe and secure during transportation and storage.
