Expand Easily & Get Rapid Return On Investment

The Trachte™ Micro Storage Unit is a portable mini storage building offering the standard features of a stationary building but with the convenience of mobility. These mini storage buildings can be placed on setbacks, easements, and other unused areas to expand storage space, which qualifies this building for a 7-year depreciation schedule. The Micro is a practical solution for owners who want to easily expand a current facility with a rapid return on investment.

The Micro is available as a package, which includes partitions, flooring, and roll-up doors. Standard sizes are 8′ x 20′ and 10′ x 20′ with 17 different unit mix layouts available. Our mini storage buildings are shipped as components via dedicated flatbed truck(s), and must be assembled on site.
