UNITS® vs. SmartBox®

When it comes to storage and moving solutions in Southeast Michigan, UNITS® of Southeast Michigan is the clear choice, especially when compared to SmartBox®. One of the biggest reasons is that we’re locally owned and operated. This means that when you reach out to us, you’re not dealing with a distant call center—you’re connecting directly with our friendly local team, who knows the area well and is dedicated to providing top-notch service.

We pride ourselves on offering a personal touch that larger, more impersonal companies simply can’t match.

Our portable storage containers are perfect for a wide range of needs, whether you’re moving, renovating your home, or need extra storage space for your business. We provide reliable solutions catering to residential and commercial customers, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Unlike SmartBox®, we offer a flexible service that brings the storage container right to your door, giving you the convenience you deserve.

One of the standout features of UNITS® of Southeast Michigan is our exclusive ROBO-UNIT delivery system. This advanced technology allows us to place your container exactly where you need it, even in tight spaces or on uneven ground. The ROBO-UNIT can handle all sorts of challenges, including tricky terrains and less-than-ideal weather conditions. Whether you need your container placed in a narrow driveway or during a Michigan snowstorm, the ROBO-UNIT gets the job done safely and efficiently—something SmartBox® simply can’t compete with.

We’ve got that covered for those who need long-term storage, too. Our climate-controlled storage facility in Ann Arbor is designed to keep your belongings safe from extreme temperatures, moisture, and pests. Whether you’re storing valuable business inventory or personal items that need extra care, our facility provides a secure environment to ensure everything stays in top condition. SmartBox® doesn’t offer the same level of protection and care that we do.

Choosing UNITS® of Southeast Michigan over SmartBox® means opting for superior service, cutting-edge technology, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your belongings are in good hands. We’re more than just a storage company—we’re your neighbors, and we’re here to make your moving and storage experience as easy and worry-free as possible.

With UNITS® of Southeast Michigan, you’re not just getting a storage container—you’re getting a partner committed to helping you every step of the way.
