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.

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.

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 Drexel Heights, 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.

Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation(NRPR) is partnering with several community groups on a drive-thru water safety event from 9 a.m. to noon Aug. 29 at the Manzanita Pool parking lot, 5110 S. San Joaquin Ave., that will feature the giveaway of 500 life jackets, courtesy of Tucson Medical Center.
NRPR normally sponsors a free Water Safety Expo each year at Manzanita Pool, but the pandemic forced the cancelation of the event. Life jackets will be given away as long as supplies last. Be sure to know your child’s weight for proper fitting.
The event is part of Drowning Impact Awareness Month and is co-sponsored by the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Arizona, Drexel Heights Fire District and TMC.
Jessica Mitchell with TMC’s Safe Kids Pima County Program will join NRPR’s Jodi Layton to hand out life jackets in the pool’s parking lot. Families may drive through or walk up to receive life jackets as well as a water safety resources goody bag. Members of the Drexel Heights Fire District will be onsite with their fire engine to wave at kids as they go by.
NRPR staff members said they were eager to get the life jackets in the hands of parents and kids since they were unable to hand them out at swim lessons that were canceled due to the pandemic.
“We’re incredibly grateful to TMC for providing these life jackets and we wanted to get them out to members of the community,” Jodi Layton, NRPR program coordinator, said. “Even though our public pools are closed, we realize many youngsters may still be swimming at private pools. As always, their safety is paramount.”

TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Pima County is eyeing expansion of vaccinations and a transition into Phase 1B at the end of next week.
A news release announcing the plans follows:
Pima County leads the state in rate of COVID-19 vaccinations as of Jan. 5 and is gearing up to move into the next phase of vaccinations.
The County is currently in Phase 1A, which is for health care workers, including those in emergency medical services, and residents and staff of long-term care facilities.
While some other counties have moved into Phase 1B this week, Pima County is still vaccinating the 1A group due to the exceptional response from 1A-qualified organizations and their employees. That has resulted in the need for additional time in Phase 1A.
Those health care workers are still filling appointments with County-approved vaccinators, mostly at Tucson Medical Center and Banner – University Medical Center Tucson, but also at 11 other participating health care organizations. (See bottom of story for list.)
Now, the County is eyeing expansion and a transition into Phase 1B at the end of next week, according to Dr. Francisco Garcia, Pima County’s Deputy County Administrator and Chief Medical Officer.
Phase 1B prioritizes three groups – individuals 75 and older, education and child care workers, and protective service occupations (law enforcement, corrections officers, firefighters, and other emergency response staff).
The 1B phase also includes two additional groups -- essential services/critical industry workers and adults with high-risk conditions in congregate settings. Visit www.pima.gov/covid19vaccine for further breakdowns of professions within those groups.
“It’s wonderful that we have the highest vaccination rate in the state, but none of us should be happy with where we are right now,” said Pima County Health Director Dr. Theresa Cullen. “It’s critical that as we are in an accelerated rate of transmission that we accelerate our immunization process. I’m grateful to Pima County that we are making this commitment.”
Cullen said the County is targeting the end of March to get through the 1B group.
To accommodate the rapid expansion of immunization, the County is planning up to four regional vaccination centers, starting with a site in the parking lot south of Kino Stadium, 2500 E. Ajo Way, by the end of next week. These four sites will feature drive-thru vaccinations, with capacity at Kino geared toward scaling up to deliver thousands vaccinations per day.
“These are logistically complicated operations,” Garcia said. “We would like to get one set up, get it going and well-established, and then plan for the second, third and more sites. We’re going to be doing this in phased way, and this is what you’ll see us doing in the next few weeks.”
Other sites under discussion are one at Rillito Regional Park, Tucson Convention Center and the University of Arizona.
The on-line registration system has not been finalized yet. When operational, there will also be a call-in option. Members of the public in the 1B group should not attempt to register for vaccinations in Pima County until the registration system is ready.
“Our goal is to make sure we have multiple entry points for folks who fit into any one of those five categories in Phase 1B to walk through,” Garcia said.
Some groups might be vaccinated at a work-site clinic, at one of the vaccination centers, or at their participating doctor’s office.
“Part of the strategy here is to have the greatest degree of flexibility in order to serve the largest number of people,” Garcia said. “At the end of the day, I care more about the number of people vaccinated than about making sure every single person walks in through the right door.”
Updates, current vaccine prioritization and further information about when and how to register will be on www.pima.gov/covid19vaccine.
The goal is to vaccinate about 300,000 people in 90 days.
“We believe we are on the right track,” Garcia said. “We have good partners on the ground and we are ready to move forward.”
Vaccination sites that are focused primarily on serving their affiliated staff:

TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Tucson Water has announced that customers on the southwest side that were affected by a water main break should have water service again.
However, customers who were without water were advised to boil their water before consuming it as a precaution until Thursday, Sept. 5.
A portion of Irvington Road between Kinney Road and Sheridan Avenue remained closed as of Monday morning, Sept. 9. A spokesman for Tucson Water said the road would reopen once the roadway is repaired. The intersection is expected to open by Wednesday, Sept. 11.
The outage, which began at 7 p.m. Monday, covered the area from Irvington to Camino De Oeste and extends east to Drexel Heights and is estimated to have affected about 5,000 customers, which is estimated to be 10,000 people.
The outage forced the closure of five public schools in the area. The Tucson Unified School District confirmed Johnson Elementary, Vesey Elementary, Valencia Middle School, Banks Elementary and Warren Elementary were not open Tuesday and will remain closed Wednesday. All five of those schools will reopen Thursday.
TUSD assured that water fountains have been turned off and bottle water will be given to every student instead. Hand sanitizer will also be available in every classroom, restroom, cafeteria and nurses office. Breakfast and lunch will be available and classes will operate on a normal schedule.
Fernando Molina, the spokesman for Tucson Water, said they do not know what caused the 16-inch pipe to fail. He said age of the pipe, located at Ajo and Kinney, does not seem to be a factor.
Tucson Water was handing out bottled water at two places -- the Tucson Estates Community Center and the southwest corner of Ajo and Kinney. Temporary bathrooms were brought in those two places as well.
"Tucson Water continues to work to reinstate water service to residents affected by a broken water main in the vicinity of Ajo and Kinney Roads. Most residents can expect restored water service by midnight Sept. 3. This will provide water to most, but not all of the residents in the affected area.
Due to the size of the affected area, and as a precaution, Tucson Water is urging customers in that zone to boil water for the next 48 hours before consuming it. Water Director Tim Thomure stated “We have not detected any contamination. But out of an abundance of caution, we are asking any customers who lost water service to boil water for drinking or cooking, or go to our water distribution stations to pick up bottled water.”
Tucson Water will continue to distribute bottled water through Thursday evening, September 5, 2019, at two locations, (southwest corner of Ajo and Kinney, and 5900 W. Western Way Circle in Tucson Estates). Tap water to be used for consumption should be brought to a rolling boil for one minute. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation through the evening of Thursday, September 5, 2019. The tap water is considered safe to use for showering and other indoor and outdoor uses, including livestock watering.
As water service is restored, customers may experience fluctuations in pressure, and/or air bubbles in the water until the water system stabilizes. Water with air bubbles may appear milky or cloudy. This does not indicate contamination. Air bubbles will dissipate if the water is left to rest for several minutes.
Tucson Water will continue to post updates on its Facebook and Twitter pages, and on its water outages map at tucsonaz.gov/water/outages. "
