Secure Short- and Long-Term Storage in Pittsburgh
When you need us to store your belongings, just let us know — sealed containerized vaults, barcode inventory and delivery on your schedule.
Handled Once. Sealed. Delivered When You’re Ready.
Between closings, during a renovation, downsizing, or waiting on an overseas assignment — Allegheny Valley Transfer offers short- and long-term storage in our secure Pittsburgh facility.
Unlike a self-storage unit, containerized storage means your goods are packed and inventoried by our crew, loaded into sealed vaults at your home, and stored without being re-handled until delivery day. Our warehouse is monitored and climate-conscious.
Commercial storage covers FF&E receiving, inspection and scheduled delivery to your site for build-outs and renovations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is containerized storage?
Your belongings are inventoried, wrapped and loaded into sealed wooden vaults at your home, then stored in our Pittsburgh warehouse. Goods are handled once, sealed and delivered when you’re ready — less handling than a self-storage unit.
Do you offer short-term storage between closings?
Yes. Storage-in-transit is a common option when your new home isn’t ready — days, weeks or months.
Can businesses store FF&E or inventory with you?
Yes. Containerized commercial storage includes receiving, inspection and scheduled delivery to site.
Is my property insured in storage?
Standard liability applies per tariff and Full Value Protection is available. Ask your coordinator for the option that fits your goods.
