Availability details
The official site describes local and long-distance moving, but also notes that offers are not available in all areas. Check availability for the pickup, delivery, and storage location.
Public pricing information
Quote required; the official site does not publish a standard base price. Promotions and comparable-quote offers vary by location, move size, and eligibility.

Public pricing is a starting point, not a quote for your move. Check dates, inventory, access, fees and optional services directly.

What the service offers

  • All-steel, weatherproof portable storage and moving containers.
  • Three container sizes: 8-foot, 12-foot, and 16-foot.
  • Ground-level loading for easier loading and unloading.
  • Barn-style doors and a patented lift system.
  • Portable containers can support on-site or warehouse storage, depending on the arrangement.

Practical considerations

These are features and tradeoffs to weigh—not review scores or a claim that one provider is the best for everyone.

Potential advantages

  • Ground-level loading can make packing and unloading more convenient than using a raised truck or ramp.
  • Portable containers provide flexibility to pack on the customer’s schedule and use on-site or warehouse storage.

Tradeoffs to check

  • The customer typically needs to pack and load the container, so the service is not a full-service packing-and-moving option.
  • On-site container storage requires suitable space at the property, and availability varies by location.
