What are your containers made from?
PODS containers feature a durable steel frame with specially designed aluminum skin panels that provide strength and protection for your belongings. The containers allow ambient, natural light to illuminate the interior, making it easier to see inside while packing or unpacking. Each container comes with a lightweight steel roll-up door for convenient access.
Do PODS containers have reflectors on them?
Yes, all PODS containers have reflective tape on each corner for enhanced visibility and safety, especially during evening hours or in low-light conditions.
What is the wind resistance of a PODS container?
PODS containers are engineered to withstand wind velocities up to 110 mph when fully loaded, depending on specific weather conditions and proper container placement. This robust design helps protect your belongings during typical weather events.
Are there eyelets or tie downs in the container?
Yes, most PODS containers include eyelets spaced every 4 feet along the interior walls, while our newer containers feature e-track slots for even more flexible securing options. Please note that you'll need to provide your own straps to secure your items.
Are containers waterproof?
PODS containers are weather-resistant, designed to protect your belongings from typical weather conditions like rain and snow. While not completely waterproof, the containers are constructed to keep your items dry under most circumstances.
Is there a weight limit?
Yes, each PODS container size has a specific weight capacity:
You don't need to calculate your content's exact weight—these limits serve as guidelines when packing. If you're concerned about exceeding the maximum weight, identify your heaviest items (appliances, sofas, entertainment centers, bookcases, safes, exercise equipment, pianos, etc.) and check comparable items online for weight specifications. The total weight of your heaviest items shouldn't exceed 75% of the container's weight limit.
How can I access my container once it's at a PODS storage facility?
You can visit your container at our PODS Storage Center as often as needed at no additional charge. Simply schedule your visit 24-48 hours in advance through our customer portal or by calling our service team. Our staff will have your container ready and accessible upon your arrival.
