Storage Tips
Simple strategies for safe, organized, and stress-free storage.
1. Sort and Declutter First
Before storing, go through your items and get rid of anything you no longer need. This saves space and helps keep your unit organized.
2. Label Everything Clearly
Use durable labels for boxes and containers, and include the contents and quantity. This is especially useful for eCommerce sellers managing inventory in our Wi-Fi-enabled business center.
3. Use Climate-Controlled Units for Sensitive Items
Protect furniture, electronics, important documents, and temperature-sensitive goods from extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
4. Stack Strategically
Place heavier items on the bottom and fragile or lighter items on top. Leave walkways for easy access to all items in your unit.
5. Take Advantage of Overhead Door Access
Units with overhead doors make moving large items in and out easier and safer.
6. Use Dollies and Handcarts
Minimize strain and prevent damage by using available dollies and handcarts for transporting boxes and heavy items.
7. Secure Your Unit
Ensure your belongings are safe by utilizing our high-security systems, including keyless phone access, gated entry, and security cameras.
8. Maintain an Updated Inventory
Keep a list of everything in your unit to track your items and quickly find what you need.
9. Plan for Easy Access
Store frequently used items near the front of your unit and less-used items toward the back for convenience.
10. Check Your Unit Regularly
Periodically inspect your unit to ensure items are secure, organized, and in good condition.
