Association and events
Regular member
A regular member of NPSA is a company engaged in the portable storage industry that is primarily engaged in renting, leasing or selling storage products to end users. Storage products are storage containers, semi-trailers, mobile self-storage containers, containerized structures or mobile offices.
Why it matters
NPSA has Regular and Associate members. An end user is a customer who will use the product for their own use and will not re-rent or re-sell it. Regular dues depend on the number of staffed locations. NPSA lists a National Company category for 10 or more staffed locations, and a Regular category. Regular members have full access to the community forum. A common mistake is to assume any company in the industry qualifies. A wholesale supplier or service firm generally fits the Associate category instead. Check the current categories and dues on the join page, or ask NPSA staff.
