"We're excited to expand our reach in Lancaster County ," said Kurt Hoffman , U-Haul Company of Harrisburg president. "We take pride in providing trusted moving and self-storage products that everyone needs. This project will help us meet customer demand, and I'm confident our customers will be very impressed with the finished result."
U-Haul continues to benefit the environment through its shared-use business model. Truck and trailer sharing enables communities to share moving equipment so that families and individuals don't need to own large-capacity vehicles to transfer belongings. Sustainability initiatives like U-Haul Adaptive Reuse (the preserving and repurposing of existing buildings for new stores), truck modifications to improve fuel economy, and plastic Ready-To-Go Boxes ® that are shared hundreds of times before being recycled are among the many ways U-Haul promotes green business. U-Box Load Share, the Company's latest sustainability program, was just named the 2023 Best in Biz gold winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the Year .
