Portable Storage Containers in Northern Michigan
Northland’s Mobile To You portable storage containers give you extra space where you need it without forcing you to load everything in one day. We deliver a container to your home, business, or job site, where you can keep it until you are ready for pickup.
Our portable storage service operates primarily from Kingsley, with additional service from Alanson. This allows us to reach Traverse City, Gaylord, Petoskey, and communities across Northern Michigan and the eastern Upper Peninsula.
Portable Storage Delivered to You

We transport the unit by truck and trailer. Specialized Mule equipment helps position it with minimal disruption. The placement area must be level, accessible, and clear of branches, wires, vehicles, and other obstacles.
Load at Your Own Pace

Straightforward Monthly Rental Terms
- No long-term contract is required.
- A one-month minimum rental charge applies.
- Your payment is due on the same calendar date each month, based on when your rental begins.
- Northland does not bill every 28 days or every four weeks, which can create an extra billing cycle during the year.
- After the first month, customers who vacate within the first two weeks of a rental month receive a prorated rent refund.
- Delivery charges vary by location and container.
For example, a rental beginning on the 12th remains due on the 12th each month. That means 12 charges per year instead of the potential 13 created by four-week billing.
