UNITS® vs. U-Haul®

When it comes to storage and moving, UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Denver offers a smarter, friendlier, and more dependable alternative to U-Haul®. We’re proud to be locally owned and operated, which means you’re never routed to a call center or left waiting on hold for someone who doesn’t understand your situation. Instead, you’ll speak directly with our Denver-based team — real people who live and work right here in the community. We care about making your moving and storage experience stress-free and straightforward, offering flexible options designed around your timeline, not the other way around.

Our portable storage containers are built to outperform anything you’ll find at U-Haul®. Each container features solid steel construction, lockable barn-style doors, and weather-resistant materials that can handle Denver’s unpredictable conditions — from heavy snow to summer heat. Whether you’re remodeling, relocating, or simply need extra space for business supplies, we’ve got the reliable, long-lasting storage solution you can count on. At UNITS® of Denver, we make sure your belongings are secure and easily accessible whenever you need them.

We also use our exclusive ROBO-UNIT delivery system, a technology that gives us a major advantage over U-Haul®. This system allows us to deliver your container exactly where you want it, even if your driveway is steep, your street is narrow, or the weather isn’t cooperating. The ROBO-UNIT keeps your container level at all times, preventing any shifting of your items inside during loading, unloading, or transport. No matter how tricky your property layout may be, our team can place your container with precision and care.

If you need off-site storage, our climate-controlled facility offers a secure, long-term solution. Your belongings stay clean, dry, and protected from moisture, pests, and temperature extremes — ideal for furniture, documents, or anything that needs extra care. It’s all part of our commitment to giving you flexible, secure storage options without the hassle or hidden fees that often come with traditional moving companies.

At UNITS® of Denver, we’re more than just a storage company — we’re your local partner for smart, dependable moving and storage solutions.

Pricing

We believe great service shouldn’t come with a big price tag. That’s why at UNITS® of Denver, we work hard to keep our pricing fair, transparent, and competitive. In fact, our average moving and storage costs are typically lower than U-Haul®. Don’t just take our word for it — request a free quote and compare it directly to U-Haul®. You’ll quickly see that we offer more value, better service, and absolutely no hidden fees. What you see is what you pay. Period.

All Steel Construction

Durability matters, and that’s where UNITS® of Denver really shines. Our portable storage containers are built from solid steel — including the frame, walls, and doors — for unmatched strength and weather resistance. You won’t find flimsy wood, glue, or staples here like you might with U-Haul® containers. Our containers are tough enough to stand up to snow, wind, and everything Denver’s weather can throw at them. That’s quality you can count on — and only at UNITS® of Denver.

More Interior Space and Capacity

Space makes all the difference when you’re packing up a home or storing inventory. Our 16′ portable storage containers can hold up to four times more by weight than the same-sized U-Haul® containers! Thanks to our smart barn-style door design, you’ll have more interior room and easier access to your belongings. At UNITS® of Denver, we make sure you get the space you need without needing to rent multiple containers.

ETRACK™ Securing System

We know that during a move, things can shift — especially when traveling through Denver’s hilly terrain. That’s why every UNITS® of Denver container comes equipped with our ETRACK™ securing system. With adjustable straps and restraints, you can lock items into place to keep them safe and secure. Unlike U-Haul®, we design our containers to handle the bumps in the road so your belongings don’t.

One Container Does the Job

With UNITS® of Denver, you get convenience and efficiency all in one. Our 16′ containers can store multiple rooms’ worth of furniture, boxes, and equipment — all in a single container. Compare that to U-Haul®, where you might need several smaller boxes to fit the same amount. Whether you’re moving a large family, keeping tools and supplies at a job site, or supporting first responders, one UNITS® container can handle it all.

Container Delivery Re-Invented – UNITS® ROBO-UNIT*

The ROBO-UNIT delivery system is what truly sets UNITS® of Denver apart. This advanced technology allows us to deliver containers into the narrowest driveways or tightest parking areas while keeping everything level. Your belongings stay stable, and your placement options stay flexible. From sloped yards to snowy streets, the ROBO-UNIT handles it all — ensuring your container arrives exactly where you need it, safely and efficiently, every single time. 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 – not even U-HAUL®.
