UNITS® vs. Zippy Shell®

When it comes to choosing the proper storage and moving solution in Detroit, UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Detroit is a clear winner. We’re locally owned and operated, meaning you’ll always deal directly with our Detroit-based team. No call centers, no middlemen—just friendly, knowledgeable locals who understand your needs and are committed to providing top-notch service every time.

Our portable storage containers are designed with durability and convenience in mind. Our containers are made entirely of steel, making them tough enough to withstand harsh weather conditions and keep your belongings safe. The lockable, barn-style doors add an extra layer of security and maximize storage capacity, so you can fit more into each container without worrying about safety.

Whether you’re moving across town or need long-term storage, our containers are up to the task.

One of the standout features of UNITS® of Detroit is our exclusive ROBO-UNIT delivery system.

Zippy Shell® simply can’t offer the same level of precision and reliability regarding container placement.

For those who need long-term storage, we’ve got you covered with our climate-controlled warehouse in Warren. Our facility is specifically designed to protect your items from the elements. Whether it’s the risk of mold, moisture, or pests, you can rest easy knowing that your belongings are stored in a clean, secure environment until you’re ready to retrieve them.

Our UNITS® containers also offer plenty of space to fit all your stuff. Even our smaller 12′ container can handle the contents of 3-4 rooms, including oversized items like sofas and dining tables. And if you’re tackling a bigger project, like a renovation or repair, our 16′ containers are perfect for on-site work, giving you all the space you need to get the job done.
