Supporting Museums Throughout Northeast Ohio

Museums across Northeast Ohio face unique challenges in storing and transporting valuable, often irreplaceable items. Collections can include fragile artifacts, historical archives, sculptures, fossils, textiles, and multimedia exhibits—each requiring careful handling and proper storage conditions. UNITS® of Northeast OH, Cleveland & Akron offers portable storage containers in 12- and 16-foot sizes, providing a practical and secure option for storing collections, exhibit materials, display fixtures, and archival supplies.

Whether you’re rotating exhibits, undergoing renovations, or coordinating traveling exhibitions, our moving and storage services are designed to keep operations running smoothly. Our containers help museum teams stay organized and allow for easy access to materials while ensuring collections remain protected.

Each container is built from durable, weather-resistant steel and includes secure, lockable doors to safeguard contents from environmental exposure and unauthorized access. With Northeast Ohio’s varying weather conditions, this level of protection is essential for maintaining the integrity of museum assets.

Our exclusive ROBO-UNIT delivery system allows us to position containers exactly where they are needed—even in tight courtyards, loading docks, or restricted-access spaces commonly found in museum environments. The system keeps containers level during loading, unloading, and transport, reducing movement and lowering the risk of damage to delicate items.

Why Museums in Northeast Ohio Choose UNITS®

Museums require storage and transportation solutions that meet strict preservation standards. UNITS® containers are engineered to provide consistent protection for valuable collections, ensuring items remain stable, secure, and well-preserved throughout storage and transit.

For highly sensitive materials—such as historical documents, paintings, textiles, or artifacts affected by environmental changes—we offer climate-controlled off-site storage solutions. These controlled environments help maintain stable temperature and humidity levels, preserving the longevity and condition of collections.

In addition to protection, flexibility is a key advantage. Schedules can change quickly, and collections may need to be moved or stored on short notice. UNITS® allows museums to scale their storage solutions as needed, whether for temporary exhibit transitions or long-term archival storage.

As a locally owned and operated business, our team understands the operational demands of museums in Northeast Ohio. We provide attentive, personalized service to ensure each project runs efficiently.
