  • Lockers: about 1 metre high and range in surface area from 0.5 to 1.5 m², ideal for storing small items for a few storage boxes.
  • All our other storage units: about 3 metres high and range in surface areas from 1 m² up to 30 m².

  You can also choose among the below access options.

  • Direct access: If you want to drive a vehicle directly to the door of your unit – making loading and unloading easy – choose direct access storage. You pay for the convenience as these units are more expensive.
  • Ground floor access: If you don’t want the bother of putting your things in a lift – perhaps they’re heavy or cumbersome – choose ground floor access storage.  
  • Upstairs access via lift: If you don’t mind using the lift, choose upstairs storage accessed via lift. These are slightly cheaper units and ideal if you don’t need to store heavy or large items.  
  • Value unit: If you’re looking for a cheaper unit and don’t mind it being an irregular shape, perhaps with a sloping roof, choose a value unit.
