Moving forward with community
With a team hailing from Central Connecticut, we are passionate about our community, and it’s no surprise that we seek out ways to help our community move forward. We offer discounted moves for non-profit organizations, run drives to collect home, kitchen, or personal care essentials for at-risk families or veterans, and use our trucks and muscles to lend support to our community.

SPECIAL EVENT STORAGE/EVENT SITE OFFICE HUB CONTAINERS
Need a solution for temporary storage or a temporary onsite office hub away from the elements at your event? Consider our portable storage containers!
Gathering and transporting supplies for special events can be cumbersome.That's why the coordinators of such events as the Hartford Marathon, Glastonbury Apple festival, and Coats for CT turn to TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® for short-term staging solutions and onsite office hubs. Supplies can be gathered into our containers from several different locations and picked up and stored in our warehouse for delivery to the event site on the day of the event. The 16' x 8' x 8' container arrives clean and looks like the back of a truck with bright white walls. With an extension cord, the container can serve as an office hub at the event location or staging site providing protection from the elements for materials or staff. Containers are best placed on a solid, non-grass surface to avoid lawn damage. Call us to book a container for your event!
