Can I do That With Portable Storage



The portable storage industry has only been around for a few years and it is still a fairly new concept for many prospective customers. Once explained, people are so impressed with the flexibility and adaptability of the service they usually choose portable storage containers to handle their moving and storage needs. In fact, many customers are so satisfied with their hassle-free experience they recommend portable storage to their friends and family.


Portable or mobile storage is the only integrated moving and storage service which means you only need to have one relationship to handle your unique situation. At UNITS Mobile Storage of Orlando, our pod containers can be used for on-site storage, long-term storage at our secure facility, local and state-to-state moves, or any combination of moving and storage. Here's how each type of service works:

On-site Storage - Ideal for temporary storage needs at your premise. We deliver an empty UNIT container to you, you keep for as long as need, and we pick-up the empty when you are finished.

Long-term Storage - Similar to on-site storage, we deliver an empty container to you. You take as much time as you need to fill it up. When ready, we pick-up the full container and deliver it back to our secure storage facility. At a future date, we re-deliver your full UNIT pod back to your location or a new location. While in storage, you always have full access to your container.

Local Moves - For this curb-to-curb service, an empty UNIT is delivered to you, moved full to your new location upon your time lines, and picked-up when you have completed your move. In addition, you always have the option of storing your container at our secure climate-controlled warehouse if your moving situation is uncertain.

State-to-State Moves - This seamless service, a fraction of the cost of using a traditional national moving company, is perfect for moving situations that requires a high degree of flexibility. Many understand the stress and frustration of trying to perfectly orchestrate the arrival of your possessions while finishing the home closing process. With this process, an empty container is delivered to your location and returned full back to the local storage facility according to your schedule. From there, the container is loaded onto a inter-state delivery truck and delivered to the local storage facility at your new location. It will remain at that facility until you instruct delivery of your UNIT to your new location.

The flexibility of using portable storage turns moving and storage headaches into a piece of cake experience. For a local quote and special deals, contact UNITS Mobile Storage of Orlando at 407-324-7002.

Sold My House - Now What?






Under normal economic times, when a homeowner decides to sell their house they usually purchase a new home at the same time. Possessions were typically transported either two ways - hire a moving company or rent a truck and move yourself. The recent collapse of the housing market has altered this entire cycle. When people find success selling their home they are reluctant to purchase right away due to fear of their net worth dwindling further. They do not want the market value of their new home to decline shortly after purchase. These former homeowners are downsizing and renting smaller places or moving in with relatives. This lifestyle change has created a new stress for former homeowners - what do I do with my possessions?

Until recently, the only solution to handle this dilemma was to rent a truck and store at a self-storage facility. The nature of the process creates a tremendous amount of stress. Besides finding and dealing with multiple providers, you only have a short amount of time to get your possessions into storage to be cost effective. This usually needs to be done on the weekend taking away your valuable free time. Imagine the cost of renting a truck for a long period of time!

The introduction of the portable storage concept is designed to make the moving and storage experience stress free. Portable storage integrates moving and storage making it a "one stop shop" provider. You rent a container which can be moved anywhere at anytime t0 accomodate your schedule. A container can be used for on-site storage at your premise, moved to any other location, or brought back to a provider's facility for long-term storage.
