Our portable storage containers take the hassle and worry out of your move or storage needs. Below are a few recommendation's to help make your move easy:

Packing Supplies
Keep the following supplies handy for packing:
· Boxes (standard & wardrobe)
· Bubble wrap
· Newspaper or tissue
· Packing tape
· Scissors
· Marking pen
· Ask us about locks, or any of these additional supplies we offer for rent.

Packing Suggestions
· Label your boxes with list of contents, which room it should go in, and whether or not it is fragile.
· Keep items from each room together. Sorting of contents when you pack will save time and hassle later.
· Reinforce each box with generous amounts of packing tape.
· Cushion the contents generously with bubble wrap, paper or tissue. Remember to wrap breakable items separately.
· Pack heavier items in their own box.
· Do not overfill the boxes. The top should close easily without bulging. Never pack flammable items, or items that could cause damage to the unit. Some examples are paint, thinners, bleach, and gasoline.

Loading the Unit
· Pack old towels, blankets, etc. between fragile contents to minimize shifting inside your UNIT.
· Stack heavier items on the bottom of the container, lighter boxes on top
· Try to evenly distribute the weight within your UNIT, so that it does not become unbalanced.
· Remember not to overload your UNIT. (The specific weight limit of your container is listed in your contract.) Exceeding the weight limit could cause shifting and damage to your contents, and the container.
· Notify UNITS Mobile Storage at least five days in advance to schedule a move.
