Store Your Possessions in Personal Vaults at Our Secure Warehouses
American Van Lines’ storage facilities feature 24-hour security cameras inside and outside the buildings. American Van Lines offers temporary, short-term, and long-term storage options. We’ll hold your possession while your home is remodeled, during fumigations, or while you’re on a long-term vacation. If you have an issue closing on your new home or you experience a family emergency, call American Van Lines to get your goods and store them for you. Reasons to move and store with American Van Lines include:
- Long distance move
- Local move
- Between residences
- Home renovations
- Downsizing
- Seasonal storage
All of our operations are fully licensed and insured. Your goods are stored in wooden vaults that hold only your family’s possessions. The vaults, which measure 8 feet x 8 feet x 7 feet, are completely enclosed with no windows. Each 448 cubic foot vault holds around 1,000 pounds of goods. They’re cleaned and sanitized after every use. Vaults are stacked in twos in the warehouse to save space. When your goods are requested, we retrieve your vault with a forklift and move it to our loading dock.
What’s the difference between full-service storage and self-storage?
Full-service moving and storage companies have the equipment, labor, and knowledge to transport your goods between your home and your storage unit. Your movers are trained to handle your personal items carefully. When you rent a self-storage unit, the task of moving your possessions to and from your storage location is totally up to you. Efficient pickup and delivery is an important storage requirement for people who are short on time, lack the equipment to move large items, or suffer from physical disabilities.
Self-storage is cheaper than full-service storage. You have greater access to your personal goods in a self-storage facility. Due to insurance regulations and operating requirements, you can’t show up at the warehouse and retrieve your goods from a full-service moving and storage company. Full-service storage customers must schedule a delivery to retrieve their stored goods. Many moving companies offer your first month of full-service storage at no cost if you move with them.
Choose Between Climate Controlled or Temperature Controlled Storage
Most household goods are better off stored at room temperature. When you store items in artificial conditions, you risk creating mold or other obstructions. Ice crystals can damage some types of furniture and clothes. Talk with American Van Lines about which type of storage, climate-controlled or temperature-controlled, is best for storing your personal goods. We can separate your shipment and store the pieces in the environment where they belong. Call today to discuss your professional full-service storage options with American Van Lines.
Temperature-controlled storage is appropriate for valuable artworks, furniture, or clothing made from certain types of leather and other personal items. Since valuable goods are stored in temperature-controlled units, extra security precautions are taken. Otherwise, your goods are good to go in our state-of-the-art, climate-controlled warehouses. Speak with your knowledgeable American Van Lines sales rep to decide which type of full-service storage is best for your possessions.
What does “climate-controlled” storage mean?
Climate-controlled storage means your goods are stored under conditions dictated by the climate. That means temperature and humidity in climate-controlled units will fluctuate. The environment in a climate-controlled storage center is maintained at between 55 degrees and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Neighbor.com. As long as those fluctuations are tempered, climate-controlled storage is the proper way to store most of your goods.
The storage climate is tempered when storage units are enclosed in a building. When your goods are stored indoors, temperature and humidity remain under control. Contrast that with a self-storage unit that’s connected to others but isn’t within a building. Temperature and humidity levels are beyond your control in those situations. There’s a big difference between climate-controlled storage units located within a building and those that are self-standing and exposed to the sun. Items susceptible to extreme heat and humidity can’t be stored in a storage unit that’s outside a building.

Which items are refused by full-service moving and storage companies?
Most reputable moving and storage companies will store only those goods that they will move. Since pickup and delivery is an essential component of a full-service storage solution, movers don’t want to be responsible for storing items they can’t transport. Items that full-service storage companies will neither store nor move include:
- Cash, jewelry, and furs
- Firearms and ammunition
- Household chemicals and solvents
- Fuel, batteries, or charcoal
- Food, plants, or other perishables
- Scuba tanks, propane tanks, and fire extinguishers.

Can I walk in and retrieve my goods today from full-service storage?
No, you can’t show up at the full-service moving-and-storage warehouse and take possession of your stored goods. Full-service moving-and-storage warehouses aren’t designed for customer access. Only specially trained employees are allowed to work in full-service storage areas. The buildings are set up for professional movers to transfer items from personal storage vaults directly into moving trucks. There are no customer service areas in full-service moving-and-storage warehouses.
In full-service warehouses, storage vaults are stacked on top of each other for space. Forklifts are used to transfer personal vaults from the depths of the warehouse to the dock for loading and delivery. Insurance regulations prohibit unauthorized people from setting foot in the working areas of full-service warehouses. You must call and schedule delivery to retrieve your goods from a full-service moving-and-storage warehouse.
