As demand for containerised self-storage continues to increase across the UK, the facility required additional secure storage capacity. 40ft high cube units provide 360 sq ft of storage space. Leveraging our extensive experience in the self-storage sector, Boxtor was able to provide a high-specification 40ft unit in RAL 6007 bottle green, as well as guidance in how to maximise storage capacity with high cube containers.
The Requirement
- Additional drive-up self-storage space
- A durable, weatherproof storage solution
- A professional appearance to complement the existing facility
- Fast delivery and positioning on site
The Solution
- Easy-open 3 locking bar door
- Multiple ventilation points (18 vents)
- Factory-fitted slimline lockbox
- Marine-grade steel construction
- 9ft 6in high cube design for increased internal volume
Delivery & Installation
Using a specialist HIAB crane vehicle, the container was transported directly to the Taunton site and carefully positioned in its designated location. The self-offloading capability allowed the unit to be placed quickly and safely without the need for additional lifting equipment, helping minimise installation costs and downtime. Boxtor regularly delivers containers to self-storage facilities throughout the UK using HIAB-equipped vehicles.
Outcome
The new container immediately increased the site’s available storage inventory, enabling the operator to accommodate additional customers while maintaining the secure, accessible storage experience expected by self-storage users
