Plus, we have exclusive access to cutting-edge loading and unloading tech: the ROBO-UNIT. Thanks to this innovation, we can deliver your container precisely where you need it, navigating through tight spots, narrow roads, rough terrain, and even tricky weather like rain or snow.

Our steel containers are tough enough to handle any climate and feature lockable barn-style doors to maximize space inside. For those seeking secure, long-term storage, our climate-controlled warehouse in Warren ensures your belongings stay safe from mold or pests. Whether you’re moving nearby or looking to store on-site, count on UNITS® of Detroit for efficient, careful service every step of the way.

ETRACK™ Securing System 

Our containers come equipped with the ETRACK™ securing system, unlike what you’d find at United Rentals®. This system keeps your items safely in place during transit, even when dealing with varying terrain. With our ETRACK™ strap and restraint system, your belongings stay put, ensuring a smooth move every time.

More Interior Space and Capacity

When it comes to space, our containers have got you covered. Thanks to our unique door design, even our smallest container (12′) can hold a whopping 3-4 rooms’ worth of stuff, including large furniture pieces. And if you need even more room, our 16′ UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage containers are perfect for big projects like remodels or repairs.
