Portable Moving & Storage Containers
The flexibility of a portable container. The convenience of professional movers.
Cal’s Moving & Storage has partnered with Get Simple Box to give you another flexible option for moving and temporary storage — a portable container plus a professional crew to pack, load, and unload it.
The container button opens getsimplebox.com, our container partner, in a new tab.
Get Simple Box Handles the Container. Cal’s Handles the Moving.
Here’s how a container move works when you pair Get Simple Box with a professional Cal’s crew.

4Cal’s
Cal’s unloads when you’re ready
A Cal’s crew carries everything inside and puts it where it belongs.
Only need part of it? Book Cal’s for loading only, unloading only, or both.
A More Flexible Way to Move & Store
A traditional same-day move is a great fit for many households, and our local movers and long-distance movers handle those start to finish. But not every move fits neatly into one day.
When dates don’t line up or you need space for a while, a portable container gives you breathing room — and a Cal’s crew still takes care of the heavy lifting on loading and unloading day.
The goal is flexibility. Pair the right container plan with the right crew, so your move works around your schedule instead of the other way around.
- Closing dates don’t line upLoad before you sell, and unload once you have the keys to your next place.
- Your new home isn’t readyKeep belongings packed while construction, repairs, or cleaning wrap up.
- You’re renovatingClear furniture out of work areas without hauling it across town.
- Your home needs stagingRemove extra furniture and clutter before showings and listing photos.
- You’re downsizingGive yourself time to decide what comes with you to a smaller space.
- You need temporary storageStore belongings between homes, leases, or big life changes.
- You want more time to organizeSort and pack at a comfortable pace, then bring in the crew for the heavy items.
- Your business needs spaceTemporary room for furniture, equipment, or inventory during a transition.

Cal’s Can Return to Unload
When the container reaches your destination, or whenever you’re ready to empty it, book a Cal’s crew to unload. We’ll carry everything in, place furniture in the right rooms, reassemble what was taken apart, and unpack if you’d like.
Why Use Cal’s + Get Simple Box?
Each part of your move, handled by a company that does it every day
Get Simple Box specializes in portable containers. Cal’s specializes in moving. Instead of asking one company to do something outside its specialty, you can combine both services and get the best of each.
Professional Loading
You don’t have to load a portable container yourself. Our crews know how to protect furniture, load efficiently, distribute weight, and make good use of the available space.
Storage at Your Door
Where Get Simple Box’s service permits, a container at your property keeps your belongings close — without repeated trips to a traditional storage unit.
Move on Your Schedule
Closing dates, renovations, and lease timing rarely line up perfectly. A container gives you more flexibility to plan around them.
Hire Movers When You Need Them
Book Cal’s for the labor-intensive parts, like loading day and unloading day, instead of needing a moving crew for the whole container timeline.
Not Just for Moving
A portable container can help any time you need extra space for a while. Cal’s can handle the heavy lifting on either end.
Home Remodeling
Temporarily remove furniture and household belongings from work areas.
Cal’s can help: move furniture out, load the container, and bring it all back in when the project is done.
Home Staging & Selling
Clear excess furniture and belongings before listing a property.
Cal’s can help: carefully pack and load the pieces you want out of sight.
Temporary Storage
Portable storage can add flexibility when you need temporary space.
Cal’s can help: pack, load, and later unload your belongings.
Business & Commercial Needs
Portable containers can potentially provide temporary space for furniture, equipment, inventory, or other business needs, subject to Get Simple Box’s policies.
Cal’s can help: our commercial movers handle office furniture and equipment.
Container availability, placement, and permitted uses are determined by Get Simple Box. Explore container rentals with Get Simple Box (opens Get Simple Box, our partner website, in a new tab)
