For long-distance moves in Texas, portable containers offer a flexible option for interstate and cross-country relocations. STORsquare delivers the container to your location, transports it when you’re ready, and can also provide storage as part of the move.
In Texas, traffic around major cities, tighter access in some areas, and limited parking can add extra complications to a long-distance move. STORsquare portable moving containers give you a less restrictive way to manage it, letting you pack, load, and relocate on the schedule that fits your move whether you’re heading out of state or across the country.
Pick a delivery date that works for your move, and STORsquare will bring the container to your Texas home.
Load over several days if needed, without the pressure of finishing everything in one day.
Once your container is loaded, STORsquare securely transports it to your new destination.
Storage is also available before, during, or after transit if your move needs added flexibility.
Once you’re ready to unload, the container is delivered to your new home.

With 8 ft, 12 ft, 16 ft, and 20 ft options available, you can choose the size that fits your belongings while keeping them secure and efficiently packed for the move.

Yes, every container size is limited to 6,000 lbs. Most household moves can stay within that amount, but very heavy items such as gun safes, loaded toolboxes, or large boxes of books should be avoided. Packing with the weight limit in mind helps protect your belongings, supports safer handling, and keeps your move from Texas easier to manage.
