Moving in or around Sacramento? We deliver the container.
Sacramento moves rarely fit into a single Saturday. Families coming in from the Bay Area between escrow and school start. State employees getting transferred mid-quarter. Couples downsizing from a Land Park bungalow into a Midtown condo while the bungalow stages for sale. Renovation projects on 1920s East Sac homes that stretch to two months.
UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Sacramento is locally owned and operated. We bring a portable storage container to your driveway, and you load it on your own schedule. We pick it up when you’re done and store it at our secure indoor warehouse in West Sacramento, or we redeliver it directly to your new home or business.
When your Sacramento move can’t happen in one day
Selling a home in East Sac and not closing on the next one for two weeks. Doing a kitchen renovation in a 1920s Land Park bungalow that takes two months. A Bay Area family relocating with kids’ school dates that don’t line up with escrow. State employee getting transferred mid-month. The Sacramento move that takes one truck and one Saturday is the exception, not the rule.
A UNITS portable storage container handles the gap. We drop the container at your house. You load when you have time, in pieces, on the days that work. We pick it up and store it at our West Sacramento warehouse, or we deliver it to your new place when you’re ready. There’s no truck rental clock and no rate per hour. Most of our Sacramento customers keep the container month to month and pay only for what they actually use.
Why Sacramento chooses UNITS
We’re locally owned. When you call, you talk to a real person in our office, not a call center in another state.
A few things our Sacramento customers tell us:
- Sacramento real estate teams send their clients our way for staging support and transition storage. Beth Conway, Sherri Patterson at Keller Williams, and Sandy Crichton at Better Homes and Gardens Realty have all worked with us for years.
- We know which Sacramento neighborhoods need a public-right-of-way permit before we drop a container in the street, and we walk you through the City of Sacramento permit process when needed.
- Around the State Capitol and downtown core, we handle a lot of state agency office moves, law firm document storage during renovations, and restaurant equipment swap-outs. We know which loading docks fit a flatbed and which back lots are the only legal drop zone in a high-rise district.
Container sizes for any Sacramento move
12 foot container (8 by 8 by 12)
Best for a one bedroom apartment, a single garage cleanout, or a 2 to 3 room move. Holds about 4,000 pounds. Common Sacramento use cases: a Midtown studio or one-bedroom move, a state employee transferred for a 90 day assignment who needs to store a partial household, or a remodel where one room is getting redone.
16 foot container (8 by 8 by 16)
Best for a 3 to 4 room home, a small business move, or a full kitchen and basement renovation. Holds about 6,000 pounds. Most Sacramento families moving out of an East Sac, Land Park, Curtis Park, or Pocket-Greenhaven home book a 16 foot.

Sacramento moves and storage we handle every day
Residential moves anywhere in Sacramento, West Sacramento, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, and Elk Grove. Storage during home sales when you’ve sold but haven’t closed on the next place. Renovation storage when you need the kitchen or living room cleared out.
A few Sacramento situations we handle a lot:
- River flood storage. Homeowners along Garden Highway and other riverfront properties call us every flood season. We deliver containers to higher ground so your belongings stay dry while the Sacramento and American Rivers do their thing.
- Military storage. We store gear and household items for personnel deploying out of Sacramento-area bases. Month to month, no long term contract.
- Commercial seasonal storage. Florists during Valentine’s Day, UPS Stores during the holidays, restoration companies during fire and water season. If your business needs short term overflow space, we can deliver a container to your back lot.
- Real estate staging. Sacramento agents use our containers to clear furniture out for staging, then move it back after escrow closes. Same crew handles delivery and pickup.
If your situation isn’t on this list, call us. There isn’t much we haven’t seen.
Sacramento portable storage questions, answered
How fast can you deliver a container to my Sacramento address?
Usually within two to three business days inside the City of Sacramento. We’re open six days a week, so call early in the week if you need it by Friday.
What does it cost to rent a portable storage container in Sacramento?
Pricing depends on container size, how long you need it, and whether we’re moving it or just storing it. Most one month residential rentals in the Sacramento area run a few hundred dollars. Call (916) 929-4435 and we’ll quote you in a couple minutes.
What if my Sacramento address doesn’t have a driveway?
Common in Midtown, Downtown, and East Sac. We can drop the container in the street with a public-right-of-way permit, which the City of Sacramento public works office issues. We’ve done this hundreds of times and we’ll walk you through the permit application when you book. Some apartment complexes also have a back lot or guest parking we can use without a permit.
Can you keep a container at my home during Sacramento flood season?
Yes. We deliver to higher ground or to our West Sacramento warehouse, and we keep your belongings inside until the threat passes. Common request from homeowners along Garden Highway, the lower Sacramento River bank, and the American River. Call us before the National Weather Service issues a warning so we can schedule delivery in time.
Do you support real estate staging in Sacramento?
Yes. Sacramento real estate teams use our containers to temporarily clear out furniture for staging, then we redeliver it after escrow closes. We’ve worked with Beth Conway, Sherri Patterson at Keller Williams, and Sandy Crichton at Better Homes and Gardens Realty for years. If your agent isn’t on that list, we can still handle it.
