Renting storage containers to keep at your business eliminates the cost and hassles of sending your staff to offsite storage facilities.

Southwest Mobile Storage has your back.
Renting portable offices gives your business more workspace, breakrooms, pop up stores, security booths and more, without the cost and red tape associated with constructing building additions.

If you have a specific need, we can modify shipping containers to build whatever you need to grow your business. Whether it's a portable workspace to run your business, like a pop-up container bar, or a durable facility for scientific research, like a container laboratory, or even a container gym, our unrivaled fabrication facility and modification experts got you covered. Our full-time, in-house staff of certified welders, engineers, electricians, carpenters and painters have over 500 years combined experience modifying thousands of container projects for just about any business use you can imagine.
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.
Renting a storage container at your home keeps your belongings close and gives you convenient 24/7 access, so you're always able to retrieve the contents of your container when you need to.
We know move in and move out dates don't always line up. We can store your packed rental container at our secure facility until your new home is ready.

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 Simi Valley, 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.

The world’s largest online retailer might be pulling the plug on its plans to bring a brick-and-mortar store to Simi Valley, but other new businesses continue to show interest in opening here.
During a Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee meeting on May 17, it was reported that Dutch Bros Coffee, a drive-through coffee chain headquartered in Oregon, is pursuing locations in the city.
Popeyes, a fast-food chicken restaurant, is looking to add a location at the east end of Simi, while Rambo’s Hot Chicken is slated to open soon in space No. 275 at the Simi Valley Town Center.
IHOP, the pancake house chain, is planning a return to the city. It’s currently going through the planning process to open a location at the former Coco’s restaurant, which closed in August 2022 at 698 Los Angeles Avenue. There hasn’t been an IHOP in Simi since 2010, when the company’s Erringer Road location shut down.
Slice House, a pizza chain run by chef Tony Gemignani, plans a second Ventura County location at El Paseo Simi Shopping Center, 2910 Tapo Canyon Road. Kohl’s and Vons are the major anchors at the center, with an Ace Hardware store slated to move into the former Cost-Plus World Market location there this fall.
A Savers store is expected to open at the old Big Lots location at 2495 Sycamore Drive. Savers is a for-profit, global thrift retailer offering gently-used clothing, accessories and household goods.
A new indoor baseball and softball training facility featuring 10 batting cages and a pro shop was recently approved by the city’s planning commission. The facility is scheduled to open in a 13,939-square-foot commercial space between a laser tag business and a CVS store at the Wood Ranch Shopping Center, 591 Country Club Drive.
Kelly Tinker, the city’s management analyst, said at the committee meeting that there is currently no update on an Amazon Fresh market proposed for the former Bed, Bath & Beyond location at 2631 Tapo Canyon Road.
Tinker said the stall has nothing to do with the city.
“What (Amazon) has been doing is reevaluating their brick-and-mortar operations to see how they want to continue to proceed with physical locations,” Tinker said.
In February, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy reported that the online retail giant was pausing expansion of its Amazon Fresh grocery stores amid broader cutbacks.
According to news reports, Amazon is reportedly being sued by property owners in Philadelphia and Renton, Washington, for failing to move forward with the building and development of multiple Amazon Fresh locations. Amazon is also trying to sublease several other planned Amazon Fresh stores in the Midwest.
Tinker said Amazon is still under contract with the property owner at Simi Civic Center Plaza, which is located on Tapo Canyon Road between the 118 Freeway and Alamo Street.
It remains to be seen if the company will open an Amazon Fresh here or whether it will try to sub-lease the space to another grocer or business, he said.
“But that’s not an issue with planning on our end or the development process or with tenant improvements,” Tinker said. “That’s Amazon putting a hold on their business model.”
Mayor Pro Tem Mike Judge, who serves on the chamber’s Economic Development Committee, said the city has options if Amazon decides not to occupy the space.
For instance, Stater Bros. Markets is looking to open a second store in Simi and that location on Tapo would be ideal because it’s centrally located, he said.
“That’s good news actually because I haven’t heard anything good about the Amazon Fresh in Moorpark. It’s just my opinion,” Judge said.
“I know there’s a lot of talk around the community about the Amazon Fresh. Personally, I’m not worried about that.”
The Chamber has grand opening ribbon-cuttings scheduled for the following businesses: Trendy Me clothing boutique, 10 a.m. June 2 at 2955-B Cochran St., No. 202; Nectar of the Dogs Wine, featuring Simi’s first wine-tasting room, 3 p.m. June 9 at 791 Chambers Lane, Ste. 110; and Simi Bargain Bins, a household item discount store, noon June 16 at 589 E. Los Angeles Ave.
