Press Release Summary: Industry-wide survey seeks to determine size and strength of
portable storage industry.

Press Release Body: KANSAS CITY, MO. (APRIL 4, 2007) - The National Portable
Storage Association has launched an industry-wide survey to identify the size and
strength of the portable storage industry.

The survey will determine the number and types of vendors, equipment and jobs in the
portable storage industry, as well as estimate the total revenue generated by
portable storage and ancillary product and service companies.

\"The portable storage industry has grown by leaps and bounds since we conducted our
first survey four years ago,\" said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director of the
NPSA, a nonprofit membership association dedicated to the advancement of the
portable storage industry. \"Beyond portable storage container vendors, many other
types of products and services have emerged to service the industry, from marketing
firms to financial consulting to transportation companies.\"

This is the third time the NPSA has sought to assess and measure the industry. The
NPSA conducted surveys in 2006 and in 2004. However, the 2008 survey marks the
largest scale appraisal in the industry\'s history. The survey\'s aim is to begin
gathering data that will allow the NPSA to identify industry trends. The NPSA can
use this data as a benchmark to measure the growth of the industry since the last
surveys, as well as project future growth.

\"The NPSA is committed to bringing value to its members and the overall industry,\"
said NPSA Operations Manager Joel Rathbone. \"This industry-wide survey is one way to
help our members determine growth plans and make sound business decisions. We
encourage all industry parties to participate in this study so we can gain the most
benefit as an industry.\"
