Our containers are weather-resistant and built tough, so you don’t have to worry about your belongings getting damaged by the elements.

Pricing

PERIOD.

All Steel Construction

Our containers are built to last. They feature all-steel construction with tough steel frames and doors, making them the most weather-resistant containers on the market—no tarps needed. In contrast, U-Haul® containers are made from wood, adhesive, and staples. For quality and durability, you can’t beat UNITS® of San Antonio.

More Interior Space and Capacity

When it comes to space, UNITS® containers are top-notch. Thanks to our unique door design, our smallest 12′ container offers 511 more cubic feet of space than U-Haul® containers. Plus, our 16′ containers can hold up to 400% more weight than similar-sized U-Haul® containers. More space means fewer headaches for you.

ETRACK™ Securing System [Long Distance Moving link]

Our containers also come equipped with the ETRACK™ securing system. We know that items can shift during a move, especially over bumpy terrain. With our ETRACK™ system, your items stay put, safe, and secure. This is one of the many ways we go above and beyond compared to U-Haul®.

One Container Does the Job 

Why use multiple U-Haul® U-Boxes when one UNITS® container can do the job? Our 12’ containers can hold the contents of up to four rooms or large items like patio furniture and dining tables. Our 16’ containers are perfect for big family moves, job sites, or even for first responders. At UNITS® of San Antonio, we offer the space and convenience you need.
