1-800-PACK-RAT

History

In 2001, a North Carolina entrepreneur sketched out an all-steel weatherproof portable storage design that was jokingly referred to as a Pack Rat because of its ability to store everything. The founder then sought out one of the most experienced heavy-equipment manufacturers in the country. Together they built a system that can lift a fully-loaded (up to 8,500 pounds) PACK-RAT container without swaying or shifting and gently place it anywhere a truck can be driven. This state-of-the-art system was critical to creating 1-800-PACK-RAT - The simplest way to store or move your stuff. The first three locations were developed in North Carolina around 2003. Under new leadership, 1-800-PACK-RAT grew from three locations to 50 within two years. This extraordinary growth reflects the customer's interest in finding simple and flexible solutions to stressful life events, such as moving, buying and selling a home, downsizing, and renovating.
