- Length: Unit length + four feet (4’), (e.g. sixteen foot (16’) unit requires twenty feet (20’) total).

Weight Allowance
Blue Sky’s transport allows for a portable storage box contents weighing up to 7,500 pounds or 3,400 kilograms. This is a substantial amount that will accommodate most uses. Our lift has a built-in scale used to weight your unit prior to pick-up. If the weight capacity is exceeded, you will need to remove contents from the portable storage unit prior to pick-up.
