Portable storage is a great option for homeowners and businesses that are moving or that need more space at your location. UNITS is a locally owned and operated business that prides itself on providing smart solutions, from quality portable storage units to on demand robot-powered storage delivery in locations that large trucks cannot access. You can trust UNITS to connect you with high quality portable storage in Carmichael.
Our portable storage units are much more convenient than moving vans and permanent storage units. We drop off the unit where you need it, and you can take your time, whether it’s days or weeks, filling the unit with what you’re moving. When you’re ready, we can pick up the unit and drive it to your new home, or to our secure storage facility. As you have your own lock for the unit, only you have access to it. So, you can keep it in storage for as long as you like, without ever having to load or unload again.

How Can You Use Portable Storage Containers?
Portable storage is convenient in so many situations, whether you’re a business owner or a homeowner. They allow you to get flexibility in moving and storage, without having to unpack and repack when things change.
How people can use storage containers:
- Declutter your home: It can be hard to part with cherished items, even when you know you need to declutter your home. Use portable storage as a go between. Move items to the unit and see how your home feels without them before you make the final decision to donate or recycle the items.
- Prepare your home for sale: Staging a home is a great way to get more interest and a higher price. But where do you put your own stuff in the meantime? Portable storage is a great solution to help clean out your home to sell it for more.
- Downsize with ease: Moving to a smaller home can be challenging. You’re not sure what you’ll have space for, and you don’t want to let go of something you may end up needing. Keep excess items in a portable storage container while you decide what you’ll need. You can keep sentimental and valuable items secure indefinitely in our warehouse.
- Get flexible storage: Anything that you need to store temporarily is a great fit for a portable storage unit. Keep your kid’s stuff in storage while they are at college, your parent’s while they move to a retirement home, and your own hobby items in the offseason.

The Benefits Of Portable Storage If You’re Moving
How businesses can use portable storage containers:
Move your office or store: Are you moving to a new location? Portable storage can help you move your office furniture, precious equipment, and inventory.
Expand small store inventory: Small stores may struggle to keep enough inventory on the premises, which can really hold back your sales. Use a portable storage unit to keep more inventory nearby so that you can sell more.
Handle holiday volumes: Your store might be able to handle normal levels of inventory but struggle over the holidays. Portable storage is the perfect solution to help you meet holiday demand without cluttering up your stockroom.
Offer your customers storage: For some professionals, like real estate agents, it can be very useful to alert customers to the options that portable storage offers them.
Store tools and materials: Contractors and construction companies can use portable storage to hold their tools and materials. They’ll be stored safely and out of inclement weather while remaining easily movable.

Portable storage units are simple to pack. Still, we wanted to provide you with some tips to help make your move as smooth as possible.
- Use uniform box sizes: Similarly sized boxes will fit together better.
