No, you can’t pick your Harbor City self-storage unit up and move it. Well, you theoretically could, but the management really prefers that the building stays intact. Additionally, your fellow tenants are likely fond of the walls protecting their own items, so it’s probably a good idea to leave the space exactly where it is. Besides the obvious, people often wonder what other key differences exist between mobile and traditional storage as they decide which kind is best. Here’s a brief synopsis for comparison. Uses A lot of people look to mobile units when they’re moving, and they expect some lag between the time they relocate out of their old home and into their new one. They can also be helpful to avoid the costs of paying for a moving truck. Conversely, traditional units are versatile and can therefore benefit people under all kinds of circumstances. Access It never fails. No sooner than you’ve packed away your items, you’re certain to recall something you either should have packed, but didn’t, or realize that something you need is inside a box you’ve already stowed. Obviously, if you have a traditional unit, you can hop on over and make the exchange. If you have a mobile unit, good luck with that. Cost Mobile units can often beat the pants off the cost of paying for a moving truck. Nevertheless, they generally can’t hold a candle to the rates offered by a traditional facility. Security If your mobile unit is in transit or is at their facility, hopefully they have added security measures to prevent theft. However, as long as it’s on your property, it’s totally up to you. Some reports indicate that doors or latches of specific mobile units are flimsy, and are easy for thieves to dismantle. On the other hand, our Harbor City self-storage facility has continual video monitoring, as well as other security measures in place to deter thieves. If you need your items to be physically moved a long distance, mobile units may have the upper hand. However, in most other circumstances, we think traditional storage is superior, which is why we specialize in it. Call or visit our self storage facility in Harbor City today!
