ABOUT SELF STORAGE

Self Storage is a system of storage in which the Self Storage company allocates, under the terms of a Self Storage Contract, a finite, securable unit for storage to which the customer has the right to exclusive access.

Self Storage offers do-it-yourself storage for business and domestic customers.

The customer is the only person to hold the key to his/hers individual space and can come and go as desired during opening hours, which often is around the clock. Consequently, customers are the only persons aware of the contents in their Self Storage space.

Self Storage facilities are user-friendly depots, normally sited along major roads close to densely populated areas, retail warehousing and light industrial estates. For the business customer, Self Storage is an alternative to owning or leasing expensive warehouse space. For the domestic customer, Self Storage frees up space in the home and  offers temporary storage when moving. Rental is typically on a month-by-month basis for as long as required. A critical feature of any Self Storage facility is the level and type of security measures employed, both as regards the safety of customers visiting facilities and of stored goods. Operators rely on different systems to ensure that only customers have access to their belongings; control by staff, PIN codes, swipe card entry systems, remote alarms, closed circuit television etc.
