Storage Units & Features

We offer a wide range of storage unit sizes, from compact units starting at 1 m² to spacious units up to 30 m², all with a standard ceiling height of approximately 3 metres.

We also provide locker units, which are ideal for smaller items. These have a height of about 1 metre and a surface area ranging from 0,5 to 1,5 m².

You can use our Size Help page to determine the storage unit size you need.

We offer a wide range of storage unit types to suit different needs and access preferences at different budgets:

• Direct access units: located outside and directly accessible by car, perfect for quick loading and unloading.
• Drive-through units: located inside the building but still accessible by car, offering the convenience of indoor protection with direct vehicle access.
• Ground floor units: easy to reach and ideal for storing bulky or heavy items without the need for lifts or stairs.
• Upstairs units via lift: accessible by lift, these units are great for storing lighter items or moving boxes.
• Mobile staircase units: positioned on top of another unit and accessed via a mobile staircase, these units offer a smart use of vertical space at a lower price.
• Raised ground floor units: slightly elevated units accessed by a short staircase and platform lift, offering a balance of value and accessibility.
• Value units: lower-cost units with an irregular shape, such as a sloping roof, a great choice for budget-conscious customers.
• Ventilated units: designed to help maintain low humidity levels, ideal for storing items sensitive to moisture.

Indoor units: located inside buildings, these units are accessible via wide hallways and lifts. Ideal if you’re storing items sensitive to temperature changes or humidity.

Outdoor units: located on the ground floor and directly accessible from your vehicle. Perfect for quick and easy loading or unloading, especially for frequent access or larger items.

You can use our Size Help page to quickly find the right storage unit for your needs.

Don’t forget to consider the height of the storage unit. Most of our storage units are about 3 metres high, so if you pack and stack efficiently, you may need less floor space than you think.

We offer a range of storage units with ventilation.

The temperature inside a unit can vary depending on the location and the type of building. Some of our units are not climate-controlled, so they follow the general outdoor conditions.

If you have sensitive items or specific temperature requirements, we recommend contacting your store manager for guidance and available options.

All our hallways are well-lit, making it easy to access and organise your belongings, even in low-light conditions. Some of our larger units also include built-in lighting inside the unit itself for added convenience.

If lighting is important for your storage needs, feel free to ask your store manager which units have interior lighting.
