Does Portabull Storage connect the rental unit to my electrical service upon delivery?

Is the unit ready to operate upon delivery?

Yes, depending on outside temperature and desired set temperature the unit will need to be powered on and allowed to run between 1-4 hours.

How should I prepare the site for delivery?

You want to ensure that you are placing the unit on flat and level ground. If the unit is not level, then the unit can twist. You will need 120' of space in a straight line for the unit to be delivered.

Why am I having a tough time opening and closing my doors?

Ensure the unit is sitting on flat, level ground. If it is not, then the frame may twist and make it difficult to open the doors. Also, you can grease or oil the hinges and they will get easier to open and close with use.
