Pro tips

Make every drive-up trip count

Four practical things that make storage easier.

1

Reverse the van

Back up to the door so heavy items go in via the shortest path. Saves your back and the floor.

2

Pack a working stack

Items you’ll access often at the front. Long-term items at the back behind a clear aisle.

3

Mind the weather

Drive-up doors open to the yard. Cover anything sensitive before you unload on a wet day.

4

Trolleys help on bigger trips

We’ve got loading trolleys at reception, free to borrow. Faster than carrying boxes by hand.
