Pro tips

Maximise your unit

How experienced business customers get more out of their storage spend.

1

Use racking, not piles

A £80 set of garage shelves doubles the usable capacity of a 50 sq ft unit. Wheeled trolleys make pick-and-pack faster.

2

FIFO by zone

Oldest stock at the front, newest at the back. Saves you from finding a pallet of expired stock at the back of the unit in 6 months.

3

Inventory list at the door

A laminated list of what's in the unit (and where) saves 10 minutes every visit. Update it monthly during your visit.

4

Match your unit to your turn

Slow-moving stock can live in cheaper indoor; fast-moving stock should be in drive-up. Mixing sizes across two units often costs less than one big one.
