Portable Storage Containers in Fort Collins, CO

Velox Mobile Storage delivers portable storage containers in Fort Collins, CO from our Colorado yard in Brighton, about an hour south down I-25. You get one all-steel 8×16 container set where you want it, you load it on your own schedule, and we either leave it with you, move it to your next address, or haul it back to our gated yard for storage.

Fort Collins sits at the north end of the Front Range run we cover, which reaches from Fort Collins down through Denver to Colorado Springs. We are not up here every day, and we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. We are in Fort Collins about once a month, and when a job needs a unit fast, we can still usually get one up here quickly. It depends on how full the schedule is that day, so call or text early.

Who calls us from Fort Collins

Most of our Fort Collins calls come from two kinds of customers:

• Restoration companies and other businesses. After a water or fire loss, the contents have to come out of the building before the repair can start. A locked container on the property keeps everything close by instead of in a warehouse across town. Read more on our restoration and insurance partners page.
• People moving down into the Denver area. Load in Fort Collins, and we bring the container to your new place in the metro, or keep it at our Brighton yard until the new place is ready.

A real Fort Collins job: one call instead of hours on hold

A Fort Collins company had a container booked with one of the big national brands. The delivery date kept moving, then the delivery time kept moving, and they spent hours on the phone trying to pin it down. They finally cancelled and called us. It took one phone call and a couple of texts, and they had a Velox container the same day.

That is how we try to run every job. When you call or text, you reach the local team that schedules the truck, not a call center.

What the drive from Brighton means for you

The only real catch in Fort Collins is the distance. It takes our driver more time to get here, it burns more fuel, and it puts more wear on the trucks. So we are upfront about how it shows up in your quote:

• The move fee. Inside 30 miles of our Brighton yard the move fee is one flat amount. Fort Collins is past that line, so it is the flat fee plus a mileage charge for each trip we make.
• The monthly rate does not change. You pay the same monthly rate in Fort Collins as you would in Brighton, and it does not jump after the first month.
• Timing. Next-day delivery is often possible and same-day happens, but book as early as you can. Fridays, the end of the month and the days before a holiday fill up first.

We do not publish prices, because every quote depends on your address, how long you keep the container and how many times it moves. There are usually a few deals running, so ask. The pricing page explains what goes into a quote.

How a Fort Collins delivery works

• Text us a photo of the spot. It is the easiest way to plan placement. The container takes about one parking stall.
• Clear the path. Move cars out of the way and check for low branches and wires over the driveway.
• We set it down, we do not drop it. The truck stays on the road and our machine lifts the container off and drives it into place. It is never tipped or dragged like a dumpster.
• You do not have to be home if the placement instructions are clear. The driver contacts you before arriving.

A driveway is the simplest place for a container. The street and parking lane are city right-of-way, so check with the City of Fort Collins before asking for a street placement, and read your HOA rules if you have one.

The container

We rent one size: an 8×16 all-steel container with about 800 cubic feet of space inside, sealed against rain and snow. It holds roughly a 1,500 square foot home, or two to three bedrooms, depending on how well things are packed. It can carry up to 7,500 pounds when we move it loaded. Load the 3D space calculator with your furniture to see how much fits.

• One-month minimum, then month to month for as long as you need it
• No deposit
• Storing it at our gated Brighton yard costs nothing extra on the monthly rate
• Any padlock works. Bring your own or buy one from us

Does it cost more to deliver to Fort Collins?

The move fee does. Fort Collins is more than 30 miles from our Brighton yard, so each trip is the flat move fee plus mileage. The monthly rate is the same as anywhere else we serve in Colorado.

Can I load in Fort Collins and have it delivered in Denver?

Yes. Load it at your Fort Collins address and we move it, loaded, to your new place in the Denver area. If the new place is not ready yet, we can hold it at our Brighton yard in between.

Do you work with restoration companies in Fort Collins?

Yes. Restoration companies and other businesses are most of our Fort Collins work. A container on site keeps a building’s contents locked and close by while the repair is done.

As long as you need. There is a one-month minimum, then it is month to month with no deposit, and the monthly rate does not go up after the first month.
