Portable Storage in the Lakes Region, NH

MI-BOX of New Hampshire delivers portable storage containers to homes, lake houses, camps, businesses and jobsites across the Lakes Region. Our main yard is at 405 Laconia Road in Tilton, so Laconia, Gilford, Meredith, Belmont and the towns around Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam and Squam are a short run from where our containers are dispatched. We also operate an Ossipee site that covers the eastern lakes and the Wolfeboro and Ossipee side of the territory.

You may know them as storage containers, mobile storage, portable storage units or a pod rental. It’s the same idea: a weatherproof steel container set level in your driveway or yard, loaded on your own schedule, then kept on your property, stored at our facility or moved to your next address. Rentals are month to month, with no long-term contract.

How Portable Storage Works in the Lakes Region

Call or request a quote. Tell us the container size, delivery date and address. Delivery and pickup are quoted by location, so we price your actual trip from Tilton.
We deliver the container. Our LeveLift truck sets the container down level instead of tilting it off the truck.
Load at your own pace. Loading is at ground level, with no ramp and no lifting boxes into a truck. Keep it as long as your project needs.
We pick it up, store it or move it. When you’re done, we pick it up, store it at our secure facility in Tilton, or move it to your next location.

16 ft	$169 per month	The most common choice, roughly a two to three bedroom house
20 ft	$249 per month	Our largest size, for a full house or a jobsite that needs real capacity

Delivery and pickup are quoted separately by address. See how much portable storage costs in NH for what affects your total, or try the storage space calculator if you’re not sure which size you need.

Lake House and Seasonal Storage

The Lakes Region runs on its own calendar. Between Memorial Day and Columbus Day, seasonal owners, renters and contractors fill the roads around the lakes, and anything involving a driveway gets harder to schedule. These are the jobs we see most:

Opening up camp. In late May and June, owners need somewhere to put the contents of a camp while floors are refinished or a bathroom is gutted.
Closing up for winter. From late September through October, deck furniture, kayaks, dock hardware and grills need to come out of the weather before the first hard freeze.
Short-term rental turnovers. A container on the property lets you swap your family’s things out for the rental setup, and back again, without hauling everything off-site.
Renovations. Keep furniture protected a few steps from the work instead of across town.
Island properties. Moving to or from a Winnipesaukee island means coordinating the container with a barge, a marina and often a contractor. See our page on island property storage on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Plan around the season

If your project falls in the opening-up or closing-up rush, book two to three weeks ahead instead of two to three days. Motorcycle Week in June changes traffic around Weirs Beach, Route 3 and downtown Laconia for about nine days. We can still deliver, but scheduling before or after that week is easier if you’re in that area.

Mud season and dirt roads

A lot of Lakes Region property sits at the end of a gravel drive or a Class VI road. From roughly mid-March through April, those roads get soft and many towns post weight limits. When you call, tell us about the last couple hundred feet of your driveway: gravel, a steep pitch, a culvert, low branches, or a tight turnaround. Local dispatch can plan for it ahead of time.

Winter placement

If a container is staying through the winter, pick its spot in the fall. Keep it where your plow contractor can work around it, away from where snow slides off the roof, and on ground that won’t turn to mud in a thaw. A gravel pad or plywood under the corners helps. See storage containers for New Hampshire winters.

Lakes Region Portable Storage FAQ

Does MI-BOX of New Hampshire deliver portable storage in the Lakes Region?

Yes. We deliver 8, 16 and 20 ft steel containers to homes and businesses throughout the Lakes Region, dispatched from our Tilton yard at 405 Laconia Road and our Ossipee site.

How much does a portable storage container cost in the Lakes Region?

Our published monthly rates are $139 for an 8 ft, $169 for a 16 ft and $249 for a 20 ft container. The monthly container rate is the same across our service area. Delivery and pickup are quoted by address, based on distance from Tilton.

Can I keep the container at my lake house or camp?

Yes. You can keep it on your property for as long as you need, or have us pick it up and store it at our secure facility in Tilton.

How far ahead should I book in summer or fall?

For late May through June, or late September through October, book two to three weeks ahead. Those are the busiest windows around the lakes.

Can you deliver to a dirt road or a steep driveway?

Often, yes, but tell us about the road and driveway when you book. During mud season, posted weight limits on some town roads can affect the timing.

Do you help with island moves on Lake Winnipesaukee?

Yes. Island moves are coordinated with a barge and marina. Our island property storage page explains how it works.
