With an extensive in-house staff and 90,000 sq ft container modification facility, we're able to deliver consistently high quality and work on multiple projects simultaneously for a fast turnaround.
Other companies don't have the facility, staff or resources to modify shipping containers and will outsource the work to various shops who may not have the special experience or tools needed to modify the right way.
You can rest assured knowing your custom container is safe in our hands. Our certified weld and quality control inspectors ensure everything is structurally sound and built to your specifications through every step of the process.
Renting a moving container from us makes your move much less stressful because you won't have to rush to pack your whole house into a moving truck in one day. Instead, you can take your time packing over the course of a month.
Our ISO shipping containers are weatherproof and come with vault-like security, so you don't have to worry about theft or damage to your belongings.
You won't get that level of security from U-Haul or other moving truck companies.

No other company has the breadth and depth of staff and experience that we do when it comes to modifying shipping containers. Our certified welders, engineers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters and painters have more than 500 years of combined experience in fabricating custom steel containers.
We prorate your rent by the day after the first 28-day billing cycle, so you don't have to pay for a full month when you only have your mobile containers and offices for a few days.
While other companies may be able to do small container modifications, most don't have an in-house fabrication staff or 90,000 sq ft fabrication facility like we do. As a result, they outsource the work on your custom container, so you don't know who's actually building it.
Rest assured knowing your modified shipping container will be built to the highest quality standards. Our certified weld and quality control inspectors check every step of the fabrication process to ensure everything is structurally sound and built to your specifications.
Whether you're in need of a storage container for your commercial business, a portable office for your construction site, or a moving container for your home, our process is simple and straightforward.
Choose the mobile storage solution that works best for your needs. In this step, you will let us know the number of containers you need, their sizes and what types of doors to equip.
Let us know if you would like to add any of our rental options, like a folding table or shelving.
Choose from padlocks, puck locks and other enhanced security options. All of our storage containers come standard with dual-locking, vault-like security.
You can expect standard delivery within 3-5 days of your order. If you need expedited delivery, we will do everything in our power to accommodate your needs.
Do you need to keep your shipping container at our location? Prefer to have our team deliver your packed container to a location of your choice? Let us know, and we'll be by your side to work out the logistics.
Let our team know where we should deliver your mobile storage container for rent in East Los Angeles, CA. Be sure to let us know if there are any special conditions that might prevent our drivers from entering your chosen destination. Before you schedule your delivery, let us know which direction you would like the doors of your container to face.
Our drivers can deliver your storage container Monday-Friday, between the hours of 6AM and 2PM local time. Our two-hour delivery window is the most precise in the industry. If you desire another delivery time outside of our standard delivery options, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. As a courtesy, our driver will call you at least 30 minutes before they arrive at your drop-off destination.
Before we deliver your Conex box, prepare your delivery area by ensuring that there are no low overhangs, arches, wires, trees or any other obstacles that could interfere with your delivery. It's a good idea to mark the space where you would like your steel container placed.
When our driver arrives, they will back our truck into the space where you would like your shipping container placed. Once we arrive, we will ensure that your container is delivered safely and securely. If placed on asphalt or pavement, we will use wood dunnage pads to make sure your ground surface is protected and the container is level.
More than 20 years after shutting its doors, the historic Linda Vista Community Hospital has been given new life in Los Angeles. Linda Vista ...
More than 20 years after shutting its doors, the historic Linda Vista Community Hospital has been given new life in Los Angeles.
AMCAL Multi-Housing and the East Los Angeles Community Corp. (ELACC) have carefully rehabilitated the derelict building into a 120-unit development for low-income seniors.
“The building had been sitting vacant when there’s a tremendous need for housing,” says Percival Vaz, CEO of AMCAL. “We were interested in doing something useful with it while still preserving the historic nature.”
Located in the Boyle Heights neighborhood, the area has about 47,000 senior households that earn less than $35,000 per year, with many spending more than half of their income on housing, according to AMCAL. The Linda Vista development helps ease that pressure, serving seniors earning 30% to 60% of the area median income. In addition, 25% of the units are reserved for Housing for Health households, a Los Angeles County Department of Health Services program that provides housing opportunities coupled with supportive services to homeless, high utilizers of the health-care system.
To make Linda Vista a reality, the development team restored and adapted a building constructed in 1905 as the Santa Fe Coast Lines Hospital to serve the needs of railroad employees and their families. The building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, later served as a community hospital before ceasing operation in 1991.
Steeped in atmosphere and character, the building was subsequently used in the filming of many movies and television programs, including Pearl Harbor. It also became a popular spot for trespassers. Although age and hard use caused the building to fall into disrepair, the development team still recognized its huge potential. The hospital’s attractive architecture and good location remained, making it a strong candidate to be adapted into housing.
The project, collectively known as Linda Vista, involved two stages—phase one involved the rehabilitation of a modestly sized nurses’ dormitory into 23 apartments, and phase two incorporated the rehabilitation of a complex, six-story main hospital building into 97 apartments. The latter phase is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification.
Historic patient rooms were redesigned as apartments. Treatment areas and other parts of the hospital proved challenging but have been converted into a game room, a library, and other uses. In one move, the developers removed a portion of the roof in the middle of a rear wing to create a three-story atrium. Each floor maintains its own character with different furniture styles, artwork themes, and color schemes.
The $47.7 million development was financed with historic tax credits as well as 9% and 4% low-income housing tax credits. Union Bank was the tax credit investor. Linda Vista also utilized Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds.
In addition to providing needed housing for the elderly, Linda Vista has helped improve the entire neighborhood by rehabilitating a decaying building. The new development includes two large community spaces that are available to residents and the surrounding neighborhood for events. AMCAL and ELACC also purchased six vacant lots within one block of the property that are in the process of being developed into single-family affordable housing.

Los Angeles’s coffee scene has come a long way since the days of sugary syrups and poorly foamed milk. The number of local shops doing it right has grown by leaps and bounds over the last decade, making it possible to find a great coffee drink anytime in the morning or for an afternoon pick-me-up in nearly every corner of the city. Some even come with eye-catching pastries or desserts. Here are the essential coffee bars in Los Angeles, presented from west to east (not in any particular order). ...

Some even come with eye-catching pastries or desserts. Here are the essential coffee bars in Los Angeles, presented from west to east (not in any particular order).
As the name implies, experimentation is key at Mad Lab where baristas serve a great pour or a chele palmer which is a fizzy blend of strawberries and coffee. Check their new location at Topanga Social, in Hollywood, or on Pico.
Everyone loves a success story. Even more, when the cafe prepares some of the SFV’s best coffee. Gacia Tachejian’s Laidrey Roasters include red velvet lattes and strawberry cappuccinos. A second location is headed to Encino in 2023.
Appealing to bicycle culture, this Calabasas and Santa Monica cafe does well-crafted espresso drinks and a light menu of teas and tonics to help cyclists to continue their routes. When in Santa Monica, the shop is a bright oasis to work or host in-person meetings or for a quick cup.
Culver City’s outpost of Goodboybob does a fantastic job with its house-roasted beans and crave-worthy chapatis at the entrance to Citizen Public Market. Goodboybob’s flagship Santa Monica shop and Manhattan Beach outlet both offer house-made pastries.
The Boy and the Bear is steadily moving on an expansion path with locations in Redondo Beach, Westchester, Pasadena, Culver City, and a new cafe in Sherman Oaks. The warehouse-style interiors take on a cool, spacious, and serene vibe with plenty of well-crafted espresso drinks.
Culver City's modernist Cognoscenti Coffee is staffed by friendly baristas who offer a wide selection of beans from roasters. Cognoscenti also has locations in the Fashion District and Downtown LA.
Sip & Sonder brings quality coffee and a cozy gathering space to Inglewood’s historic Market Street with caffeine and bites for those in need of a daytime workspace. They also host art shows, live performances, investors’ clubs, and fireside chats within 2,000 square feet. For those in the San Fernando Valley, the co-founders opened a Sherman Oaks location in 2022.
After making an impression at Smorgasburg, Be Bright Coffee settled into a permanent bright Melrose space in 2022. They’ve got a robust wholesale business that provides beans to a number of cafes throughout LA, but for those in need of a robust cup or the vivid cream latte.
(Note: The owners of Be Bright Coffee are related to Eater LA editor Matthew Kang, who has no business connection to the company and was not involved in the compilation, editing, or publication of this story.)
This second outpost of a popular Koreatown coffee bar is quite the scene during the week, given its location in the middle of the neighborhood. It’s always bustling with those seeking caffeine or an outstanding breakfast sandwich. The cafe serves Onyx Coffee from Arkansas, and baristas always make sure the latte art is top-notch.
Settled in the heart of Koreatown, Cafe Spot LA’s coffee is rich, flavorful, and bold. But they also have a dessert section that marvels any bakery in the city with items like bingsu, a Korean shaved ice along with mille crepe, croissants, and cheesecake.
An exercise in Korean minimalist design, Maru’s Los Feliz and the Arts District are incredibly pleasant places to enjoy coffee in Los Angeles. The beans are roasted at its larger Arts District space and the Beverly Hills is a recent addition to secure a cup in the city.
The reason why Bloom & Plume is one of LA’s most stylish coffee bars is that co-owner Maurice Harris is an artist and floral designer. While visiting this Historic Filipinotown cafe order the honey lavender or peppermint and enjoy the room.
Highland Park’s popular coffee bar opened a second location in DTLA this spring. Just like the original, there are beans from a variety of roasters, with beautiful lattes and practiced brewing techniques. Kumquat also has a sister shop called Loquat in Cypress Park, which boasts a stylish yellow-tinted design and serves its own propriety roasted beans. Look for the operator’s fourth and unnamed Highland Park location later this year.
Endorffeine’s magic is in the Southeast Asian-influenced coffee drinks. It doesn’t hurt that co-owner Jack Benchakul is a former biochemist. Head to Chinatown’s Far East Plaza, walk past the folks waiting at Howlin’ Rays and ask for a recommendation that always pleases.
A true community gathering spot, Patria Coffee Roasters sources incredible coffees from around the globe and roasts them at a site near the cafe. Order the cafe de olla which could accompany a community event happening in the Compton space.
Annie Choi opened Found Coffee in 2015 and established her cozy neighborhood cafe in a residential corner of Eagle Rock. Choi searches far and wide for the best beans and teas while serving a perfect vanilla latte.
With three Long Beach locations, Rose Park Roasters has unique interiors for each. The Fourth Street outlet has huge windows making it pleasantly bright, with house-made pastry, and outdoor seating to boot.
Pasadena's best coffee shop may well be Copa Vida, a corner stalwart that also offers a full slate of food options and plenty of seating to pair with its sunny vibe and well-calibrated espresso drinks. Try the different types of cold brews, or opt for a well-made iced latte for warmer days.

Incredible images of a hurricane-like storm that walloped California
The National Weather Service reported 17 structures were damage, 11 of them significantly, mostly in an industrial warehouse district. One person was injured.
“Almost a total roof collapse occurred in one building,” the Weather Service wrote in a post storm survey. “An HVAC unit was ejected from the top of the building. Skylights were broken. Wood cross beams collapsed. A power pole was snapped with a transformer blown off. Cars were damaged with windows destroyed."
The Montebello tornado was rated an EF1, on the 0-to-5 scale for intensity, the Weather Service reported. It had peak winds of 110 mph along a path of 0.42 miles. The storm’s maximum width was 50 yards and remained on the ground for 2 to 3 minutes.
The Weather Service wrote it was the strongest tornado to impact the Los Angeles metro area since March 1983.
“It felt like a bomb or something exploded, but then you see everything flying around, all the debris. It just felt weird, you’re not used to it,” an eyewitness named Miguel told local affiliate FOX11.

Montebello is 20 miles from the waters of the chilly Pacific Ocean, where rainfall tends to come with relatively cool air that is not normally conducive to thunderstorms.
In this case, the hurricane-like storm that slammed the San Francisco Bay Area on Tuesday drifted south to near Monterey Bay instead of heading inland. It drew moist air over Southern California that helped feed the pop-up thunderstorms in the region Wednesday.
All the while, there was enough sunshine early in the day around Los Angeles to heat the ground while cold air entered the area at high altitudes.
The resulting temperature contrast between the ground and high elevations created enough atmospheric instability to build the storm that spawned the Montebello tornado.
The tornado that hit Montebello was the second to hit Southern California in two days.
On Tuesday, video showed that a weak twister spun up in Carpinteria, a small seaside city in Santa Barbara County. That tornado damaged 25 mobile homes.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Weather Service issued a bulletin stating that the Carpinteria tornado injured one person and was rated an EF0 while producing winds up to 75 mph.
While California isn’t Kansas, tornadoes occur across the state almost every year. They’re most common in winter and spring, when powerful storms like this week’s come ashore.
Statewide, about seven tornadoes strike each year; as recently as 2019, there were 14.
March is the most common month for California tornadoes, with 18 percent of the annual activity, followed by February with 14 percent and January and April with about 12 percent each.
