The when up, the door takes up interior space (and stuff stacked close to it can get caught in it. If it’s not exactly where you want it, the empty containers can usually be moved with a pry bar and some brawn (three or four people seems to work).ĭoors: PODs have a roll-up door (left). Conversely, the Pack Rat is slid of the back of the truck and that’s it, much like how a dumpster is delivered. The four wheeled machine allows them to place the POD accurately in tight spaces. If your sizing is that critical, confirm with your selected company.ĭelivery: PODs are delivered with the famous PODzilla. These are my quick measurements with a tape measure. If height matters, the old style POD is your container. The Pack Rat has a 76” high x 66” wide door opening and the shortest ceiling height of 84”. The new style POD has a 76” high x 80” wide door opening and 84” of ceiling height. Also note that they will not promise either style.ĭimensions: The old style POD has a 77” high x 83” wide door opening and an interior height of 96’ except where the wood cross members support the roof which results in a loss of 6”. Seem simple enough: always request the new style. The old style is lined with plywood and has wood supports versus the 100% metal structure of the new style. The new style is a true shipping container designed just for that- to be loaded and stacked onto ships for international transport and has better seals (more on that later).
We have three PODs and a Pack Rat container. We’re in the midst of a major home remodel to the extent that we have moved out and the vast majority of our possessions are in onsite storage containers.
