Small Storage Units
Our small storage units are designed for those needing just a bit of extra space. Available in sizes 5’x5’ through 8’x8′, these units are most similar to a small closet, making them perfect for storing seasonal decorations, a handful of small furniture pieces, several boxes, or personal items that aren’t frequently used. These compact units are an economical choice as you are decluttering or managing short-term projects.
Ideal for: Apartment renters with limited storage, college students in search of temporary storage, anyone in need of more basement/closet/garage/shed storage space to support their belongings.
Medium Storage Units
Medium-sized storage units, available in dimensions 8’x10’ up to 10’x15’, offer a flexible storage solution that can handle the load equivalent of a full family room or the contents of two bedrooms. These units are large enough to accommodate bulkier items such as furniture sets, major appliances, and bicycles, as well as a substantial amount of boxes. If your home storage areas are overflowing or you’re in the midst of relocation, these units provide an ideal balance of space and accessibility. Consider a medium unit if you’re using up to a 16’ moving truck; it’s likely a perfect fit.
Ideal for: Moving the contents of a 1-2 bedroom home, small businesses needing extra inventory space, homeowners undergoing remodeling.
Large Storage Units
For those requiring significant storage space, our large storage units are the ultimate solution. With sizes ranging from 10’x17’ to 19’x23’ and larger, these units can easily store the contents of a multi-bedroom house. This includes large appliances, multiple furniture sets, assorted mattress sizes, and the bulkiest and most unwieldy items you may need to store. If you’re filling one of the largest moving trucks available to rent for a major move, one of these units will comfortably contain your entire load.
Ideal for: Families in the process of relocating, businesses needing large-scale storage space, or storage for seasonal equipment.
