People are Moving to Florida

Data from UNITS Mobile Storage of Orlando is a great front-end indicator for understanding moving trends. Because we are a nationwide company, people are using our portable storage units as a cost-effective, highly flexible way to move from state-to-state. We have seen a 159% increase in quotes from people moving into Central Florida from 2010 over 2009. For 2011, we expect the use of moving pods into Orlando to increase even more. The driving force will be the continual increase of baby boomers retiring. Horrible winters up north plus attractive real estate in Florida are the two catalysts that will expedite the moving decisions.

Using Portable Storage Containers to Handle Estate Logistics

As the population in the United States ages, we are confronted with estate challenges upon the death of a loved one.

One common unforeseen item that causes stress for people is what to do with all the belongings of a loved one.
A stress-free way to handle this situation is to rent a portable storage unit. An empty unit is delivered to the address and brought back full to a safe secure storage facility. By using an Orlando moving container, you can document all the possessions going into the Orlando pod and give yourself time to distribute valuable heirlooms to loved ones.

Renting a quality portable storage container

When you are in need of a portable storage unit, do your research on the quality of the container you are renting. Most containers are constructed using plywood covered by a tarp or flimsy plastic material. Both are highly susceptible of leaking causing damage to your possessions.
At UNITS Mobile Storage of Orlando, we have the most water-tight structurally secure container on the market today. Our entire inventory of portable storage containers is less than 18 months old. So well made, the UNITS brand container has an expected life of 15 years.
Our pods containers are constructed of a galvanized steel frame with hi-grade fiberglass panels. The roof, also fiberglass, is integrated into the frame creating a tight seal that prevents leaking and moisture build-up. In additional, the roof is completely translucent allowing in natural light yet 100% UV resistant to prevent any fading to possessions.
The UNITS storage container is all white with a simple blue logo. The sleek new look of the container is not obnoxious looking like other containers creating minimal complaints from neighbors. Please visit us at www.unitsstorage.com for pictures of our containers or call 407-324-7002 for additional information.

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.

They like that a portable storage container is brought to their premise, they can take their time filling the container, and is brought back to a storage facility until the time to be re-delivered to a new a location.
