Things You Need to Know Before Hiring a Storage Unit in Melbourne

Everyone and every business has moments when space is at a premium, and it’s a struggle to find room for everything. A temporary storage solution to safely and securely store your belongings or furniture is an essential service that can solve all your storage challenges.

Whether you are decluttering the home or office or looking for space to get your kitchen items out of the way during a renovation, here’s everything you need to know before hiring a storage unit.

Benefits of Hiring Self Storage Units

Most benefits to renting extra storage space are obvious, such as increasing your available space and enhanced security. However, 1800 We Store It’s units for hire offer a few choice conveniences that make our storage rentals stand out.

Increased Space

A lifetime of collecting treasures can leave you with little room to move. You know you need to get some stuff out from underfoot, but you want to ensure it goes to a good home. Storage companies that deliver to you are the perfect solution. They cost a small amount a week, and you can pack a lot into their high cube frame.

Get your home organised while you sort out what to do with your unwanted items. Business owners upgrading the office can use the storage to create more room and make work more efficient.

Secure Storage

You need to know that your stored items are safe from thieves, so security features on your storage unit are essential.

If you opt for our 6-foot wooden containers, they will be kept safe and secure in our storage Warehouse. Our warehouse facilities use the latest in CCTV to keep a watchful eye on every storage unit in our facility.

Our 8ft, 10ft, and 20ft containers are manufactured from reinforced steel and come with heavy-duty padlocks and padlock boxes to keep unwanted guests out. These units are tough enough to keep on your premises but can also be transported to our storage facilities for enhanced security.

Convenience

Traditional storage units in Melbourne are not always the most convenient self-storage options, especially for short-term storage. You will spend a lot of time loading, transporting, and unloading a truck and doing it all over again when returning your items.

The layout of most storage unit facilities means it’s impossible to get the truck up close to your storage unit, so you’ll have quite a lot of walking back and forth with heavy items. It’s time-consuming, back-breaking labour.

We offer a much more convenient storage solution, one that comes to you. Your personal or business storage can be as close as your driveway. Once you are done loading it, you can secure it on your property for 24/7 accessibility.

If you plan on renting a storage unit for the long term, you can keep it at our warehouse. You can still access it whenever necessary during our regular business hours. However, you will need to give us advance notice so we can get your container ready before you arrive.

Selecting a Storage Unit Size

Your storage needs are unique, so we offer various container sizes to suit all storage requirements. Our 8ft and 10ft shipping container sizes are high cubed and have enough volume to hold 2 to 3 bedrooms worth of belongings. Twenty-foot containers are the perfect storage solutions for larger homes, with enough volume to hold four bedrooms.

If you’ve been searching for 40ft containers in Melbourne, two by 20ft containers are a lot more convenient. Forty-foot shipping containers are difficult to maneuver through most suburbs, and you may need a permit to transport them.

If you aren’t sure about how much storage you might need, you can call us for expert advice and guidance.

Packing Materials and Packing Services

Most storage unit companies around Melbourne leave it up to you to do all the packing and lifting. Some offer packing materials for sale, but very few can deliver the convenience of a packing service that wraps and packs your items to keep them safe and secure during storage and transit.

We are Here to Help You Get Ready to Move

Our experienced removalists will take care of all the heavy lifting. We can also transport your items to your new location, which is much more convenient than a traditional
