Portable Storage Units in Northern Michigan

 

Northland’s Mobile To You portable storage units provide extra space where you need it. We deliver a unit to your business, job site, or home and pick it up when you are ready. It is a flexible option for commercial projects, renovations, emergency response, and temporary storage across Northern Michigan.

Portable Storage Delivered to Your Location

A portable storage unit keeps supplies, equipment, inventory, or household belongings near the work area. Loading directly at the property reduces handling and keeps important items within reach.

Mobile To You units can help with:

  • Commercial and industrial: Add temporary space for equipment, inventory, fixtures, and materials. Northland can support large construction projects, including schools, hospitals, hotels, and airports.
  • Construction sites: Keep tools, materials, supplies, and equipment near the work area and protected between workdays.
  • Emergency response: Protect undamaged belongings, equipment, or business materials during cleanup after a fire, leak, storm, or other property damage.
  • Seasonal inventory: Make room for merchandise, displays, supplies, and equipment during seasonal peaks.
  • Renovations: Move furniture and belongings out of active work areas during flooring, remodeling, or restoration projects.
  • Home staging: Clear furniture, boxes, and personal items before listing photos and showings.
  • Relocations: Load belongings over time and contact Northland when the unit is ready for pickup.

Choose the Right Portable Storage Unit

Northland offers several sizes for commercial, construction, and residential needs. Availability varies by service area.

Using Northland Storage was a great decision. We needed to totally empty out our walkout basement to finish it. Having the storage units remain on site gave us both a sense of security and an option to access items if we needed to. From Tamara in the office to Zach on the delivery and pick ups, we found them to be professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone out there that this is a wonderful option and a well run company.

I waited awhile to write a review for my mobile unit and I have to say this is such a great place to use for storage. Last fall I ordered the unit, it delivered super fast. The set up was seamless, the guy who delivered was very nice and even asked me to confirm it was set exactly where I wanted it. After it was set, he also let me know if I ever wanted it moved, what it would cost. He even let me know they could moved it filled. I have had it all winter and absolutely love the convenience of having it accessible so close. I feel pricing was fair in relation to other storage I have had in the past. The office personnel are so kind and helpful every time I call. It was great this winter, no issues, I highly recommend them.

Northland Storage was a great place to rent storage units. They made me feel my belongings were secure with their multiply security cameras and security gate. Their prices were very reasonable for the units, and each unit had lights in them, so you weren't scrambling around in the dark if you had to run there later in the day. Thank you so much, Northland Self-Storage, for keeping my belongings safe and sound!!

Customer service is at the core of every successful business and Peter and Frank and Northland Storage excel at this. We had a client coming in from out of town and we had a tight schedule to move all of her belongings to prepare for her renovation. Peter and Frank were kind enough to meet us at their new beautiful temperature controlled facility the day before her move to make sure she felt completely comfortable with the process and gave her assurance that her family treasurers would be in good hands. They followed up after to make sure she was happy with the experience. I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking for a storage facility that will care about you and your belongings.

How Mobile To You Delivery Works

1. Choose a Unit

Call or submit the quote form with your location, preferred size, intended use, and requested date. We will confirm availability and placement access.

2. Schedule Delivery

We transport the unit by truck and trailer. Specialized Mule equipment helps position it with minimal disruption. The placement area should be firm, accessible, and clear of branches, wires, vehicles, and other obstacles. A slight slope may still work depending on the property and delivery conditions.

3. Load on Your Schedule

Keep the unit at your location throughout your project or temporary need.

4. Keep It or Request Pickup

When you are finished, arrange pickup, storage, or transport to another local Michigan location where available. If you are unsure of our delivery radius, just call and ask! Some situations are evaluated on a case by case basis.

Why Choose Portable Storage?

Unlike a traditional storage unit, a portable storage unit comes to you. Businesses and contractors keep materials near the work area, while homeowners load directly from the house. This reduces handling and saves you time for your project.

Northland 5 Guarantees

Placement

You choose the spot. We place it precisely.

Our specialized equipment allows us to position your storage unit with exceptional accuracy. We’ll confirm the desired placement area before delivery and, provided the site meets our safety requirements, we’ll place your unit within the agreed-upon area.

Personal Service

You’ll never feel like just another account number.

From your first conversation with us through delivery, placement, service, and pickup, you’ll have a knowledgeable Northland team member who knows your project and takes personal responsibility for helping you.

We’ll listen, provide clear answers, keep you informed, and take ownership of your needs from start to finish.

If you need us, you’ll know who to call, and we’ll take care of it.

Delivery & Pick Up

We show up when we say we will.

Your delivery and pickup are scheduled in advance, and we’ll keep you informed if anything changes. If we miss our committed service window due to something within our control, we’ll make it right.

No Surprise Pricing

The price we quote is the price you understand. Billing happens on the same date each month, based on your rental start date.

Before you commit, we’ll clearly explain your delivery, rental, pickup, and any applicable service charges.

No hidden surprises. No unexpected charges buried in the fine print.

We won’t add a new charge without explaining it to you first.

Make It Right

If we make a mistake, we’ll own it and work to make it right.
