UNITS® vs. Zippy Shell®

We’re locally owned and operated, which means you’ll always deal directly with our team right here in Michigan—no frustrating call centers, just friendly, knowledgeable folks who are genuinely committed to making your moving and storage experience as easy and stress-free as possible.

Our portable storage containers are designed with durability and flexibility in mind, making them the perfect choice for both residential and commercial needs. Whether you’re moving to a new home, renovating, or storing business inventory, our containers are built to handle it all. Made entirely of steel, they’re tough enough to withstand harsh weather and keep your belongings secure. The lockable barn-style doors not only maximize space but also provide extra security, so you can pack more into each container with peace of mind.

One of the standout features that sets UNITS® of Southeast Michigan apart from Zippy Shell® is our exclusive ROBO-UNIT delivery system. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to deliver your portable storage container with precision, even to the most challenging locations. Whether your driveway is narrow, the ground is uneven, or the weather isn’t cooperating, the ROBO-UNIT can handle it all. It keeps your container level throughout the process, so you don’t have to worry about your belongings shifting or getting damaged during delivery. Zippy Shell® just can’t match the level of precision and reliability that the ROBO-UNIT offers.

For those in need of long-term storage, we offer a climate-controlled facility in Ann Arbor that’s designed to protect your belongings from the elements. Unlike the typical storage options you might find with Zippy Shell®, our facility is specifically built to safeguard your items from extreme temperatures, humidity, and pests.

It’s just one more way we make sure your move goes smoothly without any unwanted surprises.

Our UNITS® containers also offer plenty of space, thanks to our unique door design.
