Storage Services
When moving, it can be tricky to keep track of all of your valuables. The key to avoiding headaches is to order moving and storage services simultaneously. We can help you move as many items as you want and then store your excess belongings in a secure location. Here’s your guide on full-service storage services.
Full-Service Storage Options
When people think of storage, they often think about self-storage containers. In reality, you have a lot of options for storage, and many of them are cheaper and more secure than self-storage or portable containers. Your options include:
- Vaulted storage: Vaults are sturdy wooden boxes that enclose your belongings. Vaults can store anything from dishes to heirlooms, and they are easy to stack together on shelves or warehouse floors.
- Pallets: Pallets can support bulky furniture and hefty artwork on racks or a warehouse floor.
- Racking: If your furniture or possessions are too big or unusually shaped to fit on pallets, we can store them for you on racks.
- Medical storage: We offer unique medical storage services, helping hospitals and doctor’s offices keep their records safe with digital keypads and heat sensors.
The best options for moving and storage all involve a warehouse. Climate control can keep your items from getting water-damaged, hot, or cold. Your belongings will be monitored 24/7 around the clock, allowing peace of mind. If you want to add or take items out of our storage, you can do so. Contact your dedicated moving coordinator and let them know what you want to do. You may need to wait a few hours for your coordinator to locate your vault or pallet and open it for you, but you can schedule a time that is the most convenient for you.
Reasons Why People Store at Our Full-Service Storage Company
Thousands of people store their items with us, and for good reason. Some people just have too many things, but selling or giving them away can be a pain. Putting your excess supplies in climate-controlled vaults keeps them safe and gives you time to decide what to do with them.
Work & Military Deployment
Other people are moving into a temporary home for work or military deployment. Moving all of your items into a home you will be living in for a few months can be exhausting. Ordering short-term storage for less than three months can help you relax. We also offer piano storage, furniture storage, and storage of many small items like cards and photos.
Home Staging
You can also order short-term storage when you are staging your home before you sell it. Removing your personal belongings can make it easier for potential homebuyers to see themselves in your home, encouraging them to buy it.
Packing
Our movers and storage professionals are versatile. If you don’t know how to pack belongings for storage, our team of packers can lend you a hand. They can help you put items in clear boxes so you can see what’s inside. They can assist with cleaning your belongings so they don’t produce a scent or attract pests.
Business Storage
Business storage from professional movers and storage employees is also available. If you’re moving between offices and need to offload your belongings while you set your new location up, you can order short-term storage. We can store furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) as well as paper files and electronics.
Moving & Storage Company Details
Don’t rush the process of finding a full-service storage company. Follow these three easy steps.

- Determine the cost of moving and storage services. This depends on the number of vaults or pallets you want, the items you are storing, and the timeframe of storage. Talk to a company representative and get a free quote from them about your storage needs. While you’re talking with the full-service storage representative, ask them questions about their warehouse. The warehouse must offer 24/7 security with video monitoring, and it must have climate-controlled features. Your items should be protected with shrink wrap and pad wrap, and you should receive an itemized inventory so you have records of all of your items. Federal Companies has several climate-controlled, secure warehouses that cover more than 200,000 square feet of space. Our warehouses are located in St. Louis, East Peoria, Lindenhurst, Normal, and Champaign, and you can pick any location that is convenient for you.
