A portable storage container is a container used for moving and storage. In most cases, it’s dropped off at your home. You load it, and it’s stored until you’re ready for delivery. It’s a really cool concept that has completely changed the way consumers move and store. Now there’s no need to load, unload, re-load and re-unload from a brick-and-mortar facility. Portable storage makes it simple.
U-Pack’s Portable Storage Container U-Pack began offering portable storage services about 8 years ago, via the ReloCube®. It’s a 6’ x 7’ x 8’ (lwh) container that holds approximately one room of furniture – or the furnishings of a studio-size apartment. No worries though if you’re moving into a larger home – ReloCubes still work great. You can reserve as many as you need, but pay only for what you use. Or, you can always load into a moving trailer and pay only for the space you use. U-Pack’s space estimators can give you a good idea of how much space you’ll need.
Here are some extra conveniences you’ll find with the ReloCube:
Thanks to the small size, they fit perfectly into a standard-size parking space – very convenient if you’re moving out of an apartment complex or an area with limited parking.
U-Pack delivers right to your door. You load it and put your own lock on it. We’ll pick it up and move it to your new location. It’s the absolute simplest way to do a self-move.
They’re made of metal, and weatherproof. Many portable storage containers you’ll see are constructed of some combination of wood and plastic. Not a good combo when you consider elements like rain and snow.
They’re equipped with tie-down points throughout the interior for tying and securing your shipment for safe transit.
The ReloCube weighs 1,500 lbs. empty, and can hold up to 2,500 lbs.
And here’s how we’ll deliver it to your home:
ReloCubes are delivered and picked up at your home or storage facility using a flatbed trailer and a forklift. Because of their convenient size and the maneuverability of the forklift, we can get the ReloCubes into some fairly tight places. This may not be the case with other large portable storage containers. After your loaded ReloCube gets back to the local ABF service center, we place it into one of our commercial trailers for the long distance trip to your destination.

We recommend two Relocubes for a one bedroom apartment. You might be able to get by with just one if the apartment is lighlty furnished. There would be no charge for the second cube if you don’t use it.

The ReloCube weighs 1500lbs but you say the cube holds up to 2500lb. Does the 2500lb include the weight of the ReloCube, meaning I can only add 1000lb of stuff? Or can I add 2500lb of stuff with a final weight of 4000lb?

You can load up to 2,500lbs of goods into the ReloCube. We do not charge by weight. We just don't want you to overload the lifting capacity(4,000lbs) of the forklift. If you think your load will be too heavy for a ReloCube, we also have the partial trailer option that can handle more weight.
