When you own a business or manage one, it's crucial to have efficient, affordable ways to store inventory and supplies, whether it's to grow your business or adapt to changes in the market, like the many caused by the pandemic.
Renting storage containers to keep at your business eliminates the cost and hassles of sending your staff to offsite storage facilities. Steel containers with roll up doors make storing and retrieving items faster and easier. Auto repair shops and other businesses that need easy access throughout the workday to secure storage for tools, parts, equipment or supplies find renting shipping containers to be the best solution for their business storage needs. 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. Plus, a steel storage container fits neatly into one parking space and provides much stronger security than Pods and way more convenience than self-storage units.
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.
With our mobile storage containers for rent in Catalina Foothills, AZ, you can save up to 40% when compared to full-service long-distance movers, while gaining more flexibility in your schedule.

You also get more options to choose from when it comes to size and features, like portable offices with divided rooms for private meetings or office/storage combos for storage and office space in one container.

With us, you get a reliable, dedicated point of contact, who keeps you updated every step of the way. You can rest assured knowing you'll always get what you need, when you need it.
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 Catalina Foothills, 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.

The following is the opinion and analysis of the writer:
My wife, Diana, and I have been residents of the Catalina Foothills School District (“CFSD”) for 32 years. We raised our children here. We are thankful for the public education CFSD provided them, and want to be sure other families are afforded the same opportunity. In turn, after recently coming to learn three of five seats on the CFSD governing board are up for election this year, and three of the candidates running for them are anti-public education, I felt compelled to speak out. This piece is my call to action.
We enrolled our first child as a first grader in CFSD in 1989. His younger sisters joined him two and five years later. They each went on to graduate from Catalina Foothills High School in 2003, 2004 and 2008. After graduation they attended college, found meaningful occupations, are happily married and raising children of their own. We find great pride in the people they have become and attribute their good fortune, in significant part, to the quality of the experience they had while students in CFSD.
This summer we were invited to a 40th wedding anniversary party. There, we encountered friends we had not seen in many years, but first met in the 1990s when our youngest daughter attended Manzanita Elementary. Back then we were brought together as families by virtue of a girls first-grade soccer team proudly named “The Rockets,” Brownie troop “811,” and meaningful volunteer activities afforded students’ parents. And it was not our mere encounter with these people we found most pleasing, but rather the sincere gratitude we shared with one another for the experience our children had while a part of the CFSD school system and we were finding our way as parents.
Our enthusiasm and support are not peculiar to our generation. Our oldest daughter and her husband elected to relocate to Tucson in 2018 to start their family, and purchased a home in CFSD for the specific purpose of educating their kids here when the time comes. Several of their friends and peers have done the same.
CFSD caters to all comers, stresses inclusion, and produces well-educated, diverse, ambitious graduates. CFSD’s stability and success is a function of its long-standing leadership provided by Dr. Mary Kamerzell; a board, administrative staff and faculty who are guided by common sense and best practices, and truly responsive to the needs of students and their parents; a rigorous curriculum by any standard; competitive athletics programs; meaningful volunteer activities; and engaged parents.
Three of this year’s board candidates, Grace Jasin, William Morgan and Bart Pemberton, are each endorsed by “Purple for Parents,” which opposes any legislative increase in per-pupil funding in Arizona public schools, and urges the expansion of the ESA voucher program, which allows parents to opt their children out of public schools and, in turn, receive a portion of their public funding for use as private school tuition, online education or the like. Both positions are designed to ultimately cripple public education in Arizona.
Candidates Amy Bhola and Amy Krauss are two-term CFSD board incumbents.
They and Gina Mehmert have been actively involved as parents and volunteers in CFSD for over 10 years. They know the schools, the staffs, the students and their parents, and what actually needs to be done to address real issues which include pandemic learning loss.
Please take the time to vote in the upcoming election, be sure to vote for Bhola, Krauss and Mehmert, and encourage your neighbors to do so as well. Their plan is to do what is necessary to preserve the integrity and successful mission of CFSD, not insidiously dismantle it. A vote for these candidates will ensure that hundreds of other families will have the opportunity to enjoy and gain from the same experience our family did.

CATALINA, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Catalina Foothills High School theatre department is kicking off its production of “Night of the Living Dead.” Theatre director Amy Byroad says it’s a tribute to the movie. “There’s gun violence on stage. There’s a lot of gore and we use a lot of blood on stage and there’s screaming and flashing lights,” says Byroad.
Co-President of the Theatre Club Kylie Fay says, “this is honestly the largest cast that I think we’ve ever done here.” With over 55 students taking part in the production, the students are ready for the curtains to open.
Danielle Hanks is the co-president of the theatre club at Catalina Foothills High. She says, “it’s scary. It’s going to be pretty scary.”
But it’s not just about this production that makes the theatre department so important at Catalina Foothills High. “A lot of them come in and their goals are to time manage and to learn how to be more confident in public speaking,” says Byroad.
She says that theatre helps students learn not only life skills but day-to-day ones as well. Byroad says, “from changing a light bulb to using a drill,” that’s just some of the stuff the students learn in the hands-on program.
Being an actress in this production, Hanks says she’s learned how to work with people. She says, “you can’t choose who gets cast alongside you, so it’s a really good lesson in learning to accept the good and bad parts of people.”
Night of the Living Dead opens Thursday, October 20th.
They will have shows Thursday through Saturday for the next two weeks.
Student tickets are $5.
Adult tickets are $8.

The clear favorite in Division I is No. 1 Desert Mountain. The Wolves, a perennial D-I power, hasn't lost a match since the 2019 season and are on a 53-game winning streak (yes, you read that right). The Wolves have won two Division I championships in that span, and there's no reason to believe they can't capture a third straight title. They've only conceded five sets in the regular season and 11 out of their 14 wins were sweeps.
One team that could be capable of stopping the Desert Mountain dynasty is No. 2 Xavier Prep. The Gators gave Desert Mountain their toughest match of the season when they took three sets from the Wolves in the regular season. Xavier won the 2019 Division I championship and was runner-up in 2022.
No. 3 Desert Vista is the other team that could stop Desert Mountain. The Thunder are 12-2 with losses to both Desert Mountain and Xavier in the regular season. While they did get swept by Desert Mountain, they only lost by one set (4-5) to Xavier Prep. If they win their first-round matchup against No. 14 Liberty followed by a second-round victory over the winner of No. 6 Corona del Sol vs. No. 11 Perry, they could face Xavier again.
Others to watch
Not really an underdog, but No. 4 Hamilton could give Desert Mountain their toughest match of the season if they face them in the semifinals. Hamilton is last team to defeat the Wolves and the Huskies were runners-up in both 2019 and 2021. On a six-game winning streak, Hamilton shouldn't be counted out. Their first-round matchup is against No. 13 Millenium.
No. 10 Gila Ridge will look to shock the Division I world this season. The Hawks finished the regular season with a 13-1 record, which was good enough to tie Xavier Prep for the second most wins in Division I. After losing in the first round of the Division I playoffs in 2021 and missing state entirely in 2022, Gila Ridge is ready to show they belong. They have a first-round matchup against No. 7 Horizon.

The two teams poised to make a run at the Division II championship are No. 1 Catalina Foothills and No. 2 AZ College Prep. Catalina Foothills has had a stranglehold on the division, winning the last four Division II titles. The Falcons have certainly looked the part, going 11-0 with eight sweeps. It's hard to make a case against them not winning another D-II team title. But AZ College Prep could provide a challenge. The Knights moved up to D-II after making it to the Division III semifinals last year, and the move has been a seamless transition for the program, going 13-0 in the regular season. The two teams never have met.
Others to watch
Several other schools could make a good run at the Division II championship, including No. 5 Canyon View and No. 6 Sahuarita, both undefeated. Both made the playoffs last season and. Canyon View plays No. 12 Notre Dame Prep in the first-round while Sahuarita meets No. 11 Canyon Del Oro in their first-round matchup.
No. 3 Salpointe Catholic and No. 4 Arcadia round out the top six. Salpointe Catholic played Catalina Foothills the closest this season, taking three sets from the Falcons. The Lancers have a first-round matchup with No. 14 Nogales, and if they get past them and their second-round matchup, they could face AZ College Prep. Arcadia finished as the runners-up last year and could have a rematch with Catalina Foothills in the semifinals.
If you're looking for an upset candidate, take a look at No. 13 Verrado. The Vipers finished the regular season with a 13-1 record with their only loss coming to No. 5 Canyon View. Verrado does have a tough first-round matchup against No. 4 Arcadia.

Favorites
There are two undefeated teams in Division III, No. 1 Chandler Prep and No. 2 Basis Flagstaff. Chandler Prep made a run to the semifinals last year as a No. 8 seed and has built off of that, going 13-0 and sweeping every single school on their schedule outside of one. After being upset by No. 11 Gilbert Christian in the first-round last year, Basis Flagstaff is back and better, going 10-0 in the regular season. The Yetis have a first-round matchup with No. 15 Northland Prep, which Basis Flagstaff defeated in their last regular season game.
Three schools come into the tournament with only one loss. No. 3 Pusch Ridge, No. 4 Scottsdale Prep and No. 5 Phoenix Country Day all are capable of making a run to the finals. Pusch Ridge has the most wins in all of Division II with 14 but does have one loss, which came to Division II school Salpointe Catholic. The Lions want to have a better tournament showing than last season, which saw them crashing out of the second round as the No. 1 seed against No. 8 Chandler Prep. Scottsdale Prep (2021) and Phoenix Country Day (2022) are the last two champions in D-III. Scottsdale Prep's loss came to Chandler Prep while they also handed Phoenix Country Day their only loss of the season.
Others to watch
If you're looking for an upset team in Division III, No. 10 Glendale Prep could be the one. The Griffins finished the regular season with a 12-1 record with their only loss coming to Phoenix Country Day. They'll have a first-round matchup with No. 7 Anthem Prep, and if they manage to beat the Eagles, they'll more than likely have No. 2 Flagstaff waiting for them in the in second round. If that matchup happens, it could be competitive showdown.
