A portable storage in Loomis container is a simple solution to any move or storage need. UNITS is here to help you with everything you need for a smooth and easy portable storage experience.
Will portable storage in Loomis damage my driveway?
The question is fair, because a loaded container is heavy. Driveways get scarred when a container is dragged off a tilted truck bed, which is how roll-back deliveries work. The UNITS portable storage in Loomis ROBO remote-controlled delivery system does not drag anything, it carries the container off the truck and sets it down where you point. The second way a driveway can get damaged is how it sits, the container rests flat on its steel frame, so the weight spreads across the whole footprint instead of concentrating on wheels or jack points the way a loaded shipping container does.
We place containers on concrete, pavers, asphalt, gravel, decomposed granite, and packed dirt every week, and take great care to ensure your property is left in the same condition before the portable storage in Loomis container was delivered.
Will my things stay dry in there?
The portable storage in Loomis container is a fully enclosed, sealed box built to sit outside and to travel on a truck through weather. Rain, wind, dust, and sprinkler overspray stay on the outside of it. The floor is treated pine rather than bare metal, which matters more than it sounds, wood does not sweat the way steel plate does when the temperature swings, so the load is not sitting in condensation on a cold morning. Daylight comes through the translucent roof panel, so you can check on things without a flashlight.
How secure is portable storage in Loomis, really?
You supply the lock and you keep the key. That stays true for the entire rental, including any time the container spends at our warehouse: we store it, we do not open it. On your property, the container sits inside your line of sight, behind your gate or on your driveway, which is a meaningfully different security posture from a unit in a facility across town that you visit twice a year.
If the container goes to storage, it goes inside our secure warehouse: indoor, secured, and monitored, with access by appointment.
How much does portable storage in Loomis cost?
Am I signing up for surprise costs?
A flat monthly rate for the container plus the delivery and transport charges, stated before anything is scheduled. There is no fixed term, so there is no early-exit penalty and no renewal paperwork. When the container is picked up, the billing stops. If you have compared moving quotes before, you know the failure mode is the number that appears at the end, this set up ensures you know exactly what the cost will be beforehand.
What if my plans change halfway through?
Need the container longer than you guessed? Keep it, the month-to-month billing continues. Sold faster than expected? We pick the loaded container up and hold it in the warehouse. New address changed counties? The container delivers there instead. Decided mid-remodel to empty the garage too? It stays until that is done.
Is loading it myself actually manageable?
1
No ramp, no truck bed
The container sits on the ground, so there is nothing to climb and no ramp to fight. A loaded dolly rolls straight in. The single biggest source of moving-day injuries is gone before you start.
2
Days, not one brutal Saturday
The container waits on your schedule, so the load spreads across evenings and weekends at whatever pace your back and your calendar allow. Nobody is standing in the driveway charging by the hour.
3
The rails hold the load
E-Track rails run the walls, so each section you finish gets strapped tight before you start the next. You do not need a professional packer’s instincts; the hardware supplies them.
4
Muscle on demand
For the piano, the safe, or a garage full of equipment, hourly loading crews work with containers all the time. You buy the strong backs for two hours without buying a full-service move.
Why customers land on UNITS for portable storage in Loomis
UNITS is locally owned and operated, with one local phone line and usually one person handling your rental start to finish. The ROBO delivery system places containers level on the gravel drives, granite turnarounds, and dirt pads that rural Loomis properties actually have, not just on suburban concrete. Containers are steel-framed with treated pine floors, E-Track rails, channel strapping, and a translucent roof. Keep the container on your property or store it in the secure indoor warehouse, month to month, with delivery and pickup six days a week.
Two sizes, and how to think about them
12 ft container
12 FT LONG, 8 FT WIDE, 8 FT TALL. ABOUT 770 CUBIC FEET.
Think in projects rather than square feet: a 2 to 3 room move, one full garage or outbuilding, a room-by-room remodel, a season of equipment and gear, or lockable material storage on a job site. If the load is measured in rooms, not houses, this is the one.
16 ft container
16 FT LONG, 8 FT WIDE, 8 FT TALL. ABOUT 1,000 CUBIC FEET.
The whole-household size: a 3 to 4 room home, a full house move off an acreage lot, a multi-room renovation, or a cleanout where several buildings’ worth of stored items get staged at once. When in doubt on a full home, this is the safer call.
Not sure? Call (916) 929-4435 and describe the project. We will size it in a minute and say so plainly if the smaller container covers it.
Loomis portable storage, the practical mechanics
Can you place a container on gravel, decomposed granite, or a dirt pad?
Yes. The ROBO delivery system sets containers down level on gravel, granite, packed dirt, and other real-world rural surfaces that a roll-back truck would struggle with. The container sits flat on its steel frame once placed. If your surface or approach is unusual, a couple of photos at quote time settles it before the truck is ever scheduled.
Can the container be moved to a new address after I load it?
Yes, and this is the point of the product. We transport loaded containers to a new home, to a different property, or into our warehouse and back out again. You load once, the container does the traveling, and nothing gets rehandled in between.
What happens when my container goes to your warehouse?
It rides to our indoor West Sacramento facility and is stored inside the building with your lock still on it and your key still in your pocket. When you want the contents back, we deliver the container to any address in our service area. Visits in between are available by appointment.
What can I store in a container?
Household furniture and boxes, tools and equipment, seasonal gear, business stock, and the bulky things that do not deserve to live in the weather. The box is sealed against rain and dust with a treated pine floor and E-Track tie-downs. Skip flammables, hazardous materials, anything perishable, and irreplaceable items like documents and jewelry, which should stay with you.
Is there a minimum commitment or a contract term?
Rentals run month to month with no fixed term on either end. Keep the container for three weeks or fourteen months; the billing simply follows the calendar and stops when we pick the container up.
