Dickinson, ND has a deep tradition of military service — and Storage Unit of Dickinson is proud to stand behind the service members and military families of western North Dakota with the flexible secure storage solutions that deployment and military life demand.
Western North Dakota has a strong and proud military tradition — National Guard units with deep community roots, Reserve members who balance civilian careers with military service, veterans who have chosen Dickinson as home, and active duty families with connections to the region. The storage challenges these families face are unlike civilian storage needs — deployment orders arrive on short notice, PCS moves happen on government timelines, and the family managing housing logistics without the service member present needs a storage partner that is reliable fast and flexible. Storage Unit of Dickinson is that partner — providing the month-to-month flexibility secure facilities and efficient setup process that military families need when time is short and stakes are high.
Military families storing belongings in Dickinson during a deployment face North Dakota's extreme seasonal climate as a significant consideration. Deployment storage periods can last six months to well over a year — and during that time belongings may experience multiple Dickinson winters with temperatures well below zero. Electronics including televisions computers gaming systems and audio equipment are vulnerable to extreme cold. Documents photographs and paper items can be damaged by the humidity fluctuations between Dickinson's dry winters and wetter spring seasons. Clothing and fabric items can develop issues in improperly climate-managed storage environments. A climate-controlled unit at Storage Unit of Dickinson maintains stable conditions through every North Dakota season — call (701) 690-5512 to get set up quickly.
The range of items Dickinson military families store during deployments and military transitions reflects the full scope of western North Dakota life. Household furniture and appliances when downsizing to smaller housing during a long deployment. Personal vehicles stored and protected from North Dakota winters and spring conditions during overseas assignments. Electronics televisions gaming systems computers and audio equipment that need climate-controlled protection through Dickinson's extreme winters. Documents photographs family records and sentimental items the family wants secured in a monitored facility during the service member's absence. Military gear and equipment between assignments. Hunting and outdoor equipment seasonal gear and hobby items that don't fit in temporary housing. And any personal belongings the service member wants professionally stored rather than left in an unoccupied home through a North Dakota winter.
Military orders rarely come with the luxury of advance planning time — and the steps taken in the first hours after orders arrive determine how smoothly the storage process goes. Create a written inventory of everything going into the unit. Photograph all items for insurance purposes. Set up authorized access for a spouse or trusted family member before the service member departs so the family can manage the unit independently. Choose a climate-controlled unit for any sensitive electronic valuable or sentimental items. Keep the rental agreement and access information in a secure location accessible to the family throughout the deployment period.
