Benefits Of Container Storage

While steel container storage is a popular way for businesses to store large amounts of stock, equipment or materials, it’s not always the best. For one, these steel cargo boxes are not designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, often resulting in damaged goods during long-term storage.

At Storage World, we provide a safe and cost-effective alternative to steel container storage and warehousing at all three of our locations. Whether you want to store large amounts of stock for your growing e-commerce business or need a long-term warehousing solution, our storage facilities are far more robust and secure to ensure your items are always protected in our care.

Here are a few other benefits Storage World can offer you: 

  • 20 different individual room sizes
  • Storage Advisors in store 7 days a week
  • Round-the-clock access and security
  • 800 storage rooms ranging from 10 to 200 sq ft

  • Clean bathroom facilities

The Difference Between A Storage Unit & A Steel Container

Size

General-purpose shipping containers usually come in a stock-standard shape with only a few sizes variations. Self storage on the other hand offers businesses and households a wide range of unit sizes, allowing you to tailor your space to your exact needs. Plus, if your storage requirements change, we make it quick, easy and of course, free of charge to upsize, downsize or opt-out entirely, giving you greater flexibility than any other storage solution.

Environment

Unlike container storage, each of our units is housed internally in our secure storage facility. While containers often rust and weaken from adverse weather, our storage units are always clean and dry, ensuring that whatever you store will remain in the exact same condition you left it in, no matter how long you store it for.

Security

Steel storage containers are often stacked on top of one another and stored in a vacant location outside. If you are storing valuable business or personal items, this can be a serious security risk. Our facilities all have unrivalled security systems to ensure your goods have 24-hour protection. We can also provide you with insurance for your unit and its contents, giving you complete peace of mind when you leave your items at our facility.

Quality

Our ultra-modern storage units are purpose-built with the best quality materials and illumination, insulation and heating facilities. Whether you need a spacious workshop or a temperature-controlled unit to store valuable goods or sentimental memorabilia, a self storage unit provides the best storage solution and protection for your belongings.

Price 

Surprisingly, renting a self storage unit is not more expensive than container storage, even with its countless extra benefits! With various unit sizes available, you can rent the exact amount of space you need and not an inch more. We also don’t require you to sign long-term contracts, giving you the freedom to store your items for as little or as long as you need.

Service

At Storage World, we have a team of trained Storage Advisors on-hand at all times to help you with whatever you need. Whether you’re unsure about our storage unit sizes or simply need an extra hand to move in, we’re dedicated to making the self storage experience smooth and stress-free. Our team can even organise a removal or van hire service, and supply you with quality packaging products to store or move your items safely.
