MOVING PAGE
Does UNITS® of Northeast Kansas handle local moves?
Yes, we help with moves throughout the Northeast Kansas region, delivering a container to your current home, giving you time to load it, and then transporting it to your new address.
How do you ensure my belongings stay safe during transportation?
Our ROBO-UNIT® delivery system keeps your container level during loading and unloading, which helps prevent shifting inside the container. It’s also built to navigate tight corners, low overhangs, and gravel or dirt roads, so tricky driveways or rural access points aren’t a problem.
Do I need to pack everything in one day?
Not at all. Take as much time as you need to load your container, whether that’s a single afternoon or several weeks.
What if my old home and new home closing dates don’t match up?
That’s not a problem for us. We can store your loaded container at our secure Maple Hill facility until your new place is ready, then deliver it whenever you are.
Can UNITS® place my container in a tight or unusual spot?
Yes. The ROBO-UNIT® is designed to place containers in tight driveways, on slopes, or on unpaved surfaces, keeping the container level the entire time.
STORAGE PAGE
What kind of storage does UNITS® of Northeast Kansas offer?
We deliver a portable storage container right to your home or business in the Northeast Kansas area. You load it at your own pace, and it can either stay on your property or be picked up and kept at our secure, climate-controlled facility in Maple Hill until you need it back.
How long can I keep a container?
There’s no rush. Whether you need storage for a month or a year, we have you covered, and you decide when you’re ready for pickup or redelivery.
What size containers are available?
UNITS® of Northeast Kansas offers two container sizes, 12 feet and 16 feet, both loaded at ground level so there are no ramps or steps to deal with.
Can I access my container once it’s in storage?
Yes. With 24–48 hours’ notice, you can schedule access to your stored container at our secure facility. Contact UNITS® of Northeast Kansas for more information.
Is your storage facility climate-controlled?
Yes. Our storage facility in Maple Hill is climate-controlled, helping protect your belongings from extreme temperatures and humidity while they’re in our care.
STORAGE AND MOVING PAGE
I need both moving help and a place to store things in between. Can UNITS® do both?
Yes, that’s exactly what we specialize in. A single container can be used to store your belongings on-site, kept at our secure facility, or transported to your new home in Northeast Kansas — whatever combination fits your situation.
What happens if I’m between homes and need somewhere to keep my container?
If your move-out and move-in dates don’t line up, we’ll simply store your container at our climate-controlled facility in Maple Hill until you’re ready for delivery.
How much can a container hold?
Our 12 foot container works well for smaller homes or a few rooms, while the 16 foot option suits larger households or bigger projects. Both are rated to hold up to 8,000 pounds.
Can I get into my container while it’s being stored?
Yes. With 24–48 hours’ notice, you can schedule access to your stored container at our secure facility. Contact UNITS® of Northeast Kansas for more information.
Is insurance available for my stored belongings?
UNITS® offers both contents insurance and container insurance, and you’re welcome to elect coverage for either or both, giving you flexibility in how you protect your items.
LONG DISTANCE MOVING PAGE
Can UNITS® of Northeast Kansas handle a move outside the local area?
Absolutely. Our containers go the distance, whether you’re relocating across town or across the country, and our network of facilities nationwide makes long-distance storage and transport straightforward.
How do you keep my belongings safe on a long-distance move?
We rely on our ROBO-UNIT® delivery system for level loading and unloading, which limits shifting inside the container, and our team is experienced at navigating tight corners, low overhangs, and gravel or dirt roads along the way.
What if my move-out and move-in dates don’t align on a long-distance move?
No problem — we’ll store your loaded container at our secure facility until your new home or business is ready to receive it.
Do I load the container myself for a long-distance move?
Yes, you pack at your own pace before we pick it up. Once it’s loaded, our team takes over the transport so you can focus on the rest of your move.
Is there anything different about scheduling a long-distance move versus a local one?
Long-distance moves are coordinated a bit differently than local ones, since they involve our broader transport network rather than just our local Northeast Kansas team, but the loading and container experience stays the same.
WAREHOUSE STORAGE PAGE
Where is your warehouse storage facility located?
Our warehouse is in Maple Hill, off the Dwight D. Eisenhower Highway, making it a convenient off-site storage option for customers throughout the Northeast Kansas region.
Is the warehouse climate-controlled?
Yes. Our Maple Hill facility is climate-controlled, which helps protect your belongings from extreme temperatures and humidity while they’re stored with us.
How does my container get from my home to the warehouse?
Once you’re finished loading, we use our ROBO-UNIT® delivery system to retrieve the container with level loading and unloading, and our drivers are equipped to navigate tight corners, low overhangs, and gravel or dirt roads on the way.
How long can I keep a container at the warehouse?
Whether you need storage for a month or a year, we have you covered. There’s no rush to get your belongings back.
Can I visit my container while it’s at the warehouse?
Yes. With 24–48 hours’ notice, you can schedule access to your stored container at our secure facility. Contact UNITS® of Northeast Kansas for more information.
COMPARISON PAGE — PACK-RAT®
Why would I choose UNITS® over PACK-RAT®?
Customers consistently tell us our customer service, friendliness, and pricing set us apart from PACK-RAT® and other national competitors. As a locally owned business, you’re always speaking with someone from the Northeast Kansas area.
Does PACK-RAT® offer the same delivery system as UNITS®?
No other moving and portable storage company has the ROBO-UNIT®, including PACK-RAT®. It allows level loading and unloading and can be placed in tight spaces, on sloped ground, or on unpaved roads.
How do the containers compare?
Both UNITS® container sizes, 12 feet and 16 feet, are equipped with the ETRACK™ securing system and can hold up to 8,000 pounds, which we believe gives you more confidence than what PACK-RAT® offers.
Is UNITS® pricing competitive with PACK-RAT®?
Yes, our average moving and storage costs are typically lower than PACK-RAT®’s, and our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. We recommend comparing quotes directly.
Will I deal with a call center like I might with PACK-RAT®?
No. As a locally owned and operated business, you’ll always talk to our team here in Northeast Kansas rather than being routed elsewhere.
COMPARISON PAGE — U-HAUL®
What makes UNITS® containers different from U-HAUL®’s U-Box?
Our containers use all-steel construction, unlike U-HAUL®’s containers, which are made from wood, adhesive, and staples. This makes our containers considerably more weather-resistant.
Do I need multiple containers like I might with U-HAUL®?
Usually not. Our 12 foot container can hold the contents of up to four rooms, including bulky furniture, so most customers only need one container rather than several U-Box units.
How much more space do UNITS® containers offer compared to U-HAUL®?
Thanks to our container door design, even our smallest 12 foot container offers an additional 511 cubic feet of space compared to U-HAUL®, and our 16 foot container can hold up to 400% more weight than a similarly sized U-HAUL® option.
Does U-HAUL® have anything like the ROBO-UNIT®?
No other moving and portable storage company has the ROBO-UNIT®, not even U-HAUL®. It lifts and moves containers into tight spaces while keeping them level to prevent shifting.
Is UNITS® pricing better than U-HAUL®’s?
Our average moving and storage costs are typically lower than U-HAUL®’s, and we offer transparent, upfront pricing. Request a quote and compare it directly.
COMPARISON PAGE — SELF-STORAGE
Why choose UNITS® over a traditional self-storage unit?
With UNITS®, you pack once. There’s no loading a truck, driving it to a facility, and unloading again — we bring the container to you and handle the transport ourselves.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract like some self-storage facilities require?
No. UNITS® offers monthly agreements rather than locking you into a multi-month or annual contract, and you can keep your container for as long as you actually need it.
Are UNITS® containers sturdier than typical self-storage units?
Our containers are built with steel construction and reinforced frames and doors, giving them a level of weather resistance that many self-storage facilities don’t match.
Is UNITS® pricing usually lower than self-storage?
Often, yes. Our costs are frequently lower than comparable self-storage options in the Northeast Kansas area, and we don’t add hidden charges. We encourage you to compare a quote from us directly against a self-storage facility’s rate.
Will I get the same personal service from a self-storage facility?
Probably not to the same degree. As a locally owned and operated business, our team knows the Northeast Kansas area and is genuinely invested in your specific moving and storage needs, rather than routing you through a distant call center.
PORTABLE STORAGE FOR BUSINESS PAGE
Can UNITS® provide storage solutions for businesses in Northeast Kansas?
Yes. We work with contractors, realtors, restoration companies, and businesses of all sizes throughout the Northeast Kansas area, offering both short-term and long-term storage options.
How quickly can you deliver to my Northeast Kansas business?
Delivery timing depends on your location and container availability, but our local team works to get a container to your business as quickly as possible. Contact UNITS® of Northeast Kansas to check current scheduling.
Can I keep a container on my business property for an extended period?
Yes. Whether you need storage for a month or a year, we have you covered, and many contractors and businesses use containers for ongoing tool, equipment, or inventory storage.
How secure are UNITS® containers for storing business assets?
Our containers feature all-steel construction with secure, lockable doors, and if you need off-site storage, we also offer a climate-controlled warehouse facility in Maple Hill.
What items are prohibited?
Hazardous materials such as gas, propane, paint, and certain chemicals aren’t allowed, along with food, plants, and other perishable items.
