TEMPORARY WAREHOUSE SPACE, DELIVERED TO YOUR SITE IN 24 TO 48 HOURS
Out of warehouse space and can’t wait on a lease? Warehouse on Wheels brings the space to you. We deliver safe, dark, and dry storage trailers straight to your facility, so you get working warehouse capacity on your own property fast. No build-out. No long-term commitment. No hidden fees. Scale up one trailer at a time when you’re slammed, and send them back when the pressure lifts.
With 36,000+ storage trailers and 40+ locations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, WOW gives operations, logistics, and supply chain teams a faster, more flexible alternative to leasing a fixed building. Simple. Smart. Storage.
What IsTemporary Warehouse Space?
Temporary warehouse space is storage you use for a while, not forever, so you skip the long-term lease.
We drop secure, dry trailers right on your site, or at one of our drop lots if you’re tight on space, so your storage runs on your schedule, not someone else’s.
On-demand warehouse marketplaces
Online platforms match you with a partner warehouse that has spare capacity, often billed by the pallet, day, or week. Flexible, but your goods live in a third party’s building and you have limited control.
Direct short-term leases or subleases
Some landlords or tenants offer 6 to 24 month deals on part of a building. More control, but slower to set up and often carrying NNN and CAM costs.
Co-warehousing and shared units
Providers rent small private units inside a shared facility, typically on 6 to 12 month terms. Good for small operations, but you move into their building and commit to their footprint.
Third-party logistics (3PL) providers
A 3PL stores and handles your inventory for you, often on short-term contracts. Comprehensive, but you hand over control and pay for handling on top of space.
On-site storage trailers delivered to you
Instead of moving into a building, you have secure trailers delivered to your facility, yard, or job site. It’s the fastest, most flexible option, and it’s what WOW does best. Your temporary warehouse comes to you, deploys in [24 to 48 hours], and scales one trailer at a time. We’re not a trailer vendor, we’re a storage partner.
When You Need Temporary Warehouse Space
Most calls come from operations teams staring down one of these situations:
- Seasonal and peak-season surges. Extra capacity for holiday, promotional, or seasonal inventory, returned when the peak passes.
- Overflow when your warehouse is full. Immediate space so you don’t turn away inventory or stack product in the aisles. (More on handling a full warehouse in our guide to [warehouse overflow].)
- Just-in-case and buffer inventory. Room to hold safety stock while supply chains stay unpredictable.
- Supply chain disruption. Space to absorb early shipments, port delays, or vendor timing changes.
- Construction and project logistics. On-site storage for materials and equipment at the job site.
- Facility moves and renovations. Somewhere to keep inventory running while you transition between spaces.
- Market and new-region testing. Capacity to test a new market before committing to a long-term lease there.
- Product launches and one-time contracts. Short-term space for a launch or a single large order.
Different trigger, same fix: flexible space, fast, without a lease. We make the wider case for trading fixed square footage for flexibility in mobile warehousing.
