Fill it once, open it once.
Heaviest and least-needed at the back, tight rows, one trip in and one trip out. The size guide and the planner’s fit check are what you need.
Storage size guideBUSINESS AND CONTRACTOR STORAGE
Store your equipment so your team can actually reach it.
Packing a home away for six months and reaching for the same tools every Tuesday are different problems. Business storage is laid out around access: what comes out most often sits by the door, small stock lives on shelves, pallets keep a clear floor path, and every box is labeled so nobody opens five to find one.
SEE THE LAYOUT
Make stored stock and equipment easy to reach.
Where something sits should follow how often your team reaches it. In this example, what comes out most days is nearest the door, what comes out a few times a year is at the back, and everything stands beside a clear aisle, so reaching one thing does not mean moving another.
Reached most often, closest to the door
- Most days: Tools rack. Nearest the door.
- Every week: Supplies rack and small parts box. Still close to the door.
- Every month or so: Stock pallet and spare cables box. Past the door end.
- A few times a year: Spare equipment pallet and backup supplies box. At the back wall.

Start from this list in the planner →Packing away or reaching in?
Leave an aisle. Load in order.
Weekly items at the door, small parts on shelving, pallet loads on the floor with room to reach around them. Lay the space out in the order you will load and reach for things.
Plan around accessFour things that decide the right space
What you store
Tools, shelving, pallets or boxed stock. Shelving needs height and a wall, pallets need floor and room to reach around them, and boxes need labels.
Compare sizes →How often you visit
Weekly or daily access needs an aisle and a loading order; once-a-year storage can pack tight. The planner lists what stands between an item and the door.
Plan around access →Vehicle and loading
What you drive up in, and whether you carry, cart or forklift. Check Locations for drive-up access, hours and height limits, then call to confirm what applies to your space.
See location details →What is allowed
Storage is for storing. Working in a unit, running a shop from it or keeping certain materials is up to the location. Check the storage rules and call with questions before you rent.
Read the rules →Plan it around access
The planner starts with shelves, pallets and boxes you can swap for your own, shows a suggested loading order and flags anything standing between an item and the door. No account is needed to start. Prefer to talk? Three quick questions reach the team.
Storage rules that apply
Storage rules show here once a location posts them. If a rule is not shown, call the location before you ask for a space.
No storage rules are posted yet. Call the location with your question.
Need a yard, not a unit?
Contractors who need equipment on the job site can set three containers in a U with a gated yard: side doors open into the yard, end doors sit on the free ends.
See the contractor site layout →What your team can do today
- Share a plan with a helper for a set time, without handing over your account.
- Print labels for your boxes and scan one to see what is inside without opening it.
- Ask the location to let someone in for a set time, and see what was recorded.
- Keep a damage or loss record with photos if something is damaged or missing.
Stock counts, employee checkouts and restock reminders are not built yet.
