How do I find the perfect storage space?

6 Things to Consider When Choosing a Storage Unit

Storage units come in many shapes and sizes, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some are better suited for storing large items, while others are better at holding smaller items.

Choose a storage unit for furniture or business stock. Selected outdoor units allow loading and unloading beside your vehicle. Indoor units are reached through the corridors and freight lift. Lockers suit smaller belongings.

1. Location

Are you in need of a storage unit? Then there are different ways to seek the perfect location for you?

One option is to find a storage unit close to you. Another is to have a storage unit that, for example, is close to your work. The last option is interesting for businesses and private clients:

Our location in Son Castelló is just what you need for your warehouse. Son Castelló isn’t just the biggest and most known industrial zone of Palma de Mallorca. It’s also close to the city center of Palma (you can use public transport to get there).

Furthermore, Son Castelló is a central location on the island with good communication to all sides of Mallorca.

2. What type of storage unit do I need?

When choosing the unit that fits your needs, there are several things to keep in mind. Do you need easy access 24/365 and a parking spot next to your unit? Do you need a storage unit to put your entire household into, or do you have a couple of boxes that would fit a

locker? Lockers are easy, reliable, and perfect for small items that don’t need a large entrance door. Remember that in a 1m3 locker, you can already stack 12 of the most common carton boxes.

If you need to store larger items, you will need a bigger entrance – there are different sizes available. Check the width of all the things you will keep to ensure they fit through the doorway. For example, if you store a big sofa, make sure that it fits the door of the unit of your choice.

Will you be getting your things in – and out of the storage on, let’s say, a daily basis? Then a unit with access from the outside and a parking spot next to the unit could be the perfect fit.

Last but not least, most self-storage businesses offer the possibility of storing in a bigger unit shared with others. Prices are often very attractive, and your products are safe. Still, you won’t have 24/7 access to them as only the people from the self-storage company will have access to them.
