All Steel Construction

At UNITS® of Asheville, our containers are built to endure. Featuring all-steel construction, sturdy steel frames, and steel doors, they are the epitome of durability and weather resistance. Unlike U-Haul® containers, which rely on wood, adhesive, and staples, our containers require no tarp, providing superior protection for your belongings. This level of quality craftsmanship is exclusive to UNITS® of Asheville.

More Interior Space and Capacity

Experience the difference in interior space and capacity with UNITS® containers. Thanks to our unique door design, even our smallest 12′ container offers 511 more cubic feet of space than U-Haul® containers. Additionally, our 16′ UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage containers boast a capacity to hold up to 400% more by weight than equivalent U-Haul® containers.

ETRACK™ Securing System

With our ETRACK™ securing system, UNITS® of Asheville ensures that your items remain securely in place during transit—a feature absent in U-Haul® containers. Our strap and restraint system minimizes the risk of shifting during moves, providing added peace of mind for our customers.

One Container Does the Job

One container does the job with UNITS® of Asheville, unlike U-Haul®’s U-Box, which often necessitates multiple containers for the same task. Our 12′ containers can accommodate the contents of up to four rooms, an entire basement, or oversized items like patio furniture and dining room tables. Meanwhile, our 16′ containers are ideal for extensive family relocations, job site storage, or first responder needs.

Container Delivery Re-Invented – UNITS® Robo-Unit*

Revolutionizing container delivery, UNITS® of Asheville introduces the ROBO-UNIT®, our innovative delivery system. Engineered to navigate even the tightest spaces in Asheville, the ROBO-UNIT® ensures level loading and unloading of your container, significantly reducing the risk of contents shifting during transport. This system offers unparalleled flexibility in container placement, especially in space-constrained environments. Our ROBO-UNIT can lift 7,000 pounds and move up to 10,000 pounds.  NO OTHER Moving and Portable Storage Company has the ROBO-UNIT – not even U-Haul®.
