Please check with your insurance company to see what options they offer and whether your existing policy extends to items in a UNITS® container, so you can choose the coverage that works best for you.

How much weight can a container hold?
Both the 12 foot and 16 foot UNITS® containers can hold up to 8,000 pounds, giving you flexibility for heavier furniture, equipment, or supplies.
