TEMP-PACK vs. Other Mobile Storage Companies
When comparing PODS® to TEMP-PACK®, we have multiple differences — and advantages. TEMP-PACK features the most robust transport system on the market today, capable of lifting 7 tons within the containers — all while protecting your belongings and property throughout the process.
We DO NOT have call centers, which makes us more responsive and far easier to work with than PODS®. With all our locations operated by local owners, you’ll be working directly with a moving professional who understands your area and can tailor services to meet your personal or business needs.

Cold Storage: The TEMP-PACK Advantage
Unlike PODS®, TEMP-PACK offers mobile cold storage containers — a game-changer for:
- Restaurants & caterers needing extra refrigeration during renovations or events
- Medical providers who need secure, temperature-controlled inventory storage
- Special events & festivals that require mobile cold storage on-site
Our cold storage units are insulated, temperature-stable, and delivered right to your location — something PODS® simply doesn’t offer.
