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.

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.

Let our team know where we should deliver your mobile storage container for rent in Tempe, AZ. 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.

Grass Clippings, a Phoenix-based modern golf brand founded in 2018, is ushering in a new era of golf in the Phoenix area, officially assuming operations of Tempe’s Rolling Hills Golf Course on Saturday, July 1st. The company will soon begin a $15 million renovation and revitalization project as Rolling Hills Golf Course has become “Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills”, the flagship location for the company's cutting-edge vision.
Ranking Arizona: Top 10 public golf courses
In March 2023, Grass Clippings agreed to a 30-year partnership with the City of Tempe to operate the city-owned golf course, which is located two miles from Arizona State University’s Tempe campus. Grass Clippings’ property lease began on July 1st. The company has engaged Scottsdale-based Troon, the leader in providing golf and club-related leisure and hospitality services, to help execute the renovation and manage the golf and hospitality operations at the new Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills.
Over the next 17 months, the golf company and Troon will work together to transform the property, adding full-course lighting for night play, a lighted practice range, an activity lawn and video display, a hilltop bar, a patio bar and clubhouse, and an entertainment venue. To allow the property to remain open during construction, projects will be executed in phases with full completion targeted for fall 2024.
Initial enhancements will include installation of modern LED lighting on the 18-hole executive-length golf course and on the practice range, as well as a new state-of-the-art irrigation system to improve turf quality. New tee boxes will also be added to allow the course to be played from various lengths and angles, including a par-3 only option for anyone interested. Work on the course is expected to begin this month.
The new Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills will offer competitions, community, skins games, night golf, incredible food, concert venues, weekly live music, markets, and events. Additionally, the Grass Clippings team will implement junior golf programming that will extend access to a much more diverse community.
Originally designed by Milton Coggins, the golf course features elite topography, elevation change, desert landscape and cheetahs on hole 3 as the course neighbors the Phoenix Zoo. Once lighting is installed, the course will be open until 12 a.m., allowing golfers to escape Phoenix’s intense sun and heat.

TEMPE, AZ — Amid an explosion of interest in pickleball in the Valley, a newly formed Texas company is putting its first location in the Phoenix metro.
Picklemall will debut its first U.S. location in July, at 5000 S. Arizona Mills Circle, Suite 313 in the Arizona Mills shopping mall in Tempe. Picklemall will occupy a 104,000-square-foot space previously occupied by At Home Stores, which closed in 2019.
"Pickleball in Arizona is exploding and I want to be at the forefront of that," Picklemall CEO West Shaw told the Business Journal. "[Arizona] has a lot of different elements that drive people indoors and that's why we wanted to go there."
With the new concept, formerly what would have been aisles and aisles of home decor will be replaced with 24 pickleball courts.
"Right now if you go to a public court during prime hours you'll probably have to wait to play," Shaw said. "And that's what we're trying to combat is that waiting time and having to play at noon in Tempe, Arizona, in the middle of July. That could potentially be dangerous."
Read more from the Business Journal.
During the last three years, pickleball has become America's fastest-growing sport.
Fred Bender says he now likes it more than tennis, which he used to play in college.
"I don't know why people play tennis because when they go out, all they do is chase the ball when you first start playing,” said Bender. “With pickleball, if you've ever played ping-pong, you can play pickleball within an hour or so."
ABC15 caught up with Bender, his son, and some friends at Pecos Park in Phoenix on Tuesday.
"It started with us old folks. The young ones then asked, what do old folks have that we young folks don't have and now they're playing,” said Bender.
Bender’s son, Bret, says he hits a pickleball court every chance he gets.
"I think it is such a fun sport, especially, if you are trying to incorporate all sorts of skill levels. It is the best,” said Bret.
The popular sport will be available to play in a whole new way at the coming Arizona Mills location.
Alexa Erjavic says she'll be interested in escaping the heat and visiting the 104,000-square-foot facility which opens in July.
"It will enable us to play six more months out of the year when it would normally be too hot. It is 109 degrees out here now and here we are,” said Erjavic.
Between August 2022 and March 2023, the American Pickleball Association says, the amount of people playing this sport has grown by 35%.
Bret told ABC15 he isn't surprised to know the sport is growing rapidly in the Valley.
"It's just really accessible. Super-accessible. I think all of those other sports we are used to are just so time-consuming to get the learning curve to get better to even enjoy a game,” added Bret.
Picklemall plans to open other facilities inside malls across the country in the months to come.

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Tempe’s most iconic street is about to get a massive makeover!

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Tempe’s most iconic street is about to get a massive makeover! Work is expected to begin in the Spring on a refresh project that will improve sidewalks, add lighting, furnishings, public art and trees to a half-mile stretch of Mill Avenue from University to Rio Salado.
“The street hasn’t had a significant reinvestment in its infrastructure for over 40 years so that’s a big motivation for what we’re doing right now. We want to kind of restart, reset or refresh Mill Avenue,” Eric Iwersen, Tempe’s Sustainability and Resilience Director, said.
The project is expected to cost $20 million and will be paid for by the city’s general fund. Iwersen says the last time Mill Avenue had a major renovation was back in the 1980s.
“That’s when brick sidewalks and ficus trees were introduced. That’s been really successful for us, but it’s time to do a little bit of a refresh on that street,” Iwersen said.
The city is currently gathering input from the public on what type of sidewalk material they’d like to see used on Mill Avenue and what trees and plants should be put in.
“We’re introducing species of trees that maybe had not been historically used on Mill Avenue, but are responsive to and can be resilient to the extreme heat that we’re experiencing and being mindful of water conservation,” Iwersen said.
If you want to voice your opinions, the City of Tempe has two public meetings scheduled for Wednesday, August 9th. The first one is a virtual meeting at 12pm and the second one is an in-person meeting at 6pm at Tempe Public Library.
Iwersen says the city is looking to start construction as early as the Spring with the hope of having most of the work done by the end of next year.

Boots in the Park will return for its second year at Tempe Beach Park this fall.
Just weeks after hosting a one-day festival in Gilbert with headliners Chris Young and Trace Adkins, Boots in the Park revealed who will perform during its "expanded two-day country party" in Tempe in September.
Blake Shelton and Sam Hunt are headlining the event this year, which promises "chart-topping country artists, line dancing, beer and craft cocktails, locally curated food vendors, art installations, beautiful AZ views and so much more," according to its website.
Tim McGraw made headlines during Tempe's inaugural Boots in the Park in 2022 by falling off the edge of a catwalk and toppling backward into the audience. He emerged unscathed and took the chance to meet the fans right behind the barricade.
Review:Blake Shelton's always the perfect Country Thunder headliner. This time he brought a guest
This September's lineup includes:
More artists will be announced later, according to the event's website.
Country Thunder Arizona 2023:Here's the complete lineup, location and ticket info

The Arizona Coyotes won't be making Tempe their permanent home after voters scuttled plans for a proposed entertainment district near the lake whose centerpiece would have been a new hockey arena.
Driving the news: Propositions 301, 302 and 303 all trailed by double digits Tuesday night after the first round of results, expected to be the majority of the ballots cast, were released.
What they're saying: Tempe 1st, the opposition campaign, called the vote "a victory by Tempe for Tempe."
The other side: In a statement issued by Tempe Wins, the pro-district campaign, Coyotes president and CEO Xavier Gutierrez said the team was disappointed.
Between the lines: Supporters, including Tempe's current and former mayors, touted the district as a way to transform a "landfill into a landmark," turning a vacant lot that includes a former dump into a bustling commercial, residential and entertainment hub.
Meanwhile, Phoenix sued to stop the proposal, arguing in court it violated a 1994 agreement to restrict residential development in a high-noise area along the flight path for Sky Harbor International Airport.
Zoom in: Tempe Wins, funded by Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo's development company, spent more than $700,000 on the campaign, compared to about $35,000 for Tempe 1st, The Arizona Republic reported.
What's next: Gutierrez said the franchise's next move "will be evaluated by our owners and the National Hockey League over the coming weeks," while Bettman said the NHL "is going to review with the Coyotes what the options might be for going forward."
Catch up quick: Glendale ended negotiations with the Coyotes in 2021 after the two sides were unable to agree on a long-term lease to keep the team at Gila River Arena.
