Frequently Asked Questions - UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Tulsa, OK

MOVING

Will you deliver and move my container to a new address in the Tulsa area?
Yes. Whether you are relocating within Tulsa or heading to another state, we take your loaded container directly to your new location.

How do you make sure nothing gets damaged while my container is in transit?
Our proprietary ROBO-UNIT delivery system keeps the container level through loading, transport, and unloading. Because ROBO-UNIT handles tight corners, low overhangs, and gravel or dirt roads, we can set your container down exactly where you want it while keeping everything inside protected.

What happens if I have to move out of my Tulsa home before the new place is ready?
No problem at all. We can hold your container at our secure local facility until your new home or business is ready.

Is it necessary for me to be present during drop-off or pickup?
It helps but it is not required. As long as we have clear instructions and enough space to position the container, we can handle drop-off and pickup while you are away.

Do I load the container myself, or can I get help?
Most folks load their own containers, but if you would prefer some help we can recommend professional moving or packing services.

STORAGE

What is the process for portable storage in Tulsa?
We deliver a large, weather-resistant container right to your Tulsa property. You load it whenever it suits you, then choose to keep it on-site or let us store it securely at our facility.

Am I locked into a long rental period?
Not at all. Our rentals are flexible. Whether you need storage for a month or a year, UNITS® has you covered.

Where will my container be kept if I do not want it sitting at my home?
We keep it at our local, secure facility and hold it there until you ask for redelivery.

Can I reach my belongings once the container is stored at your facility?
Yes. With 24 to 48 hours notice you can schedule access to your stored container at our secure facility. Contact UNITS® of Tulsa for more information.

Are the containers tough enough for Oklahoma weather?
Yes. Each one is all-steel construction with durable, weather-resistant walls and a secure lockable door, protecting your belongings from both the elements and theft.

STORAGE AND MOVING

Can one container cover both storage and moving in Tulsa?
Yes. You can store items on-site, keep the container at our secure facility, or have us move it to your new home or business. A single container handles all of it.

A 12-foot container is great for smaller apartments or one to two bedroom homes, and a 16-foot container suits larger homes with multiple rooms. Both hold up to 8,000 pounds.

What do I do if my move-out and move-in dates do not align?
No problem. We can store your container at our secure facility until your new home or business is ready.

How can I protect the items I store?
UNITS® offers both contents insurance and container insurance, and you are welcome to insure both for complete peace of mind. If you would rather rely on your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance, that may be an option too. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm whether your policy covers items in a UNITS® container.

Can I access my container while it stays at your Tulsa facility?
Yes. With 24 to 48 hours notice you can schedule access to your stored container at our secure facility. Contact UNITS® of Tulsa for more information.
