Pallet storage sounds simple until a business tries to fit it into a standard self storage setup. Many storage facilities are designed around household customers: boxes, furniture, trolleys, corridors and small units. Palletised goods create a different problem.
Why pallets are awkward for normal self storage
Pallets need access. They may need an artic, a tail lift, a forklift at one end, proper hardstanding, straight routes and space to manoeuvre. A tidy indoor corridor storage facility may look smart, but it may not be practical for palletised commercial goods.
That is why pallet storage is one of the most difficult things for normal self storage warehouses to cater for. The building may be designed for domestic storage, not for commercial handling.
Container storage can suit pallets better
Container storage can be more practical for some businesses because access is direct and the storage is straightforward. It can also work well when pallet storage is combined with transport, deliveries or longer-term commercial arrangements.
Who needs pallet storage?
Landlords, restaurant owners, wholesalers, suppliers, trades and businesses with limited premises can all run into the same issue: their working space is too valuable to fill with stock or palletised goods.
We already support commercial storage customers, including pallet storage requirements where access and handling are agreed properly.

FAQs
Can pallets go into container storage?
Yes, where access, loading and unloading arrangements are suitable.
Do you provide forklift unloading?
Loading requirements need to be discussed before the job. We do not pretend every site has every machine.
Is pallet storage long-term?
It often is. For many businesses it becomes part of the cost of operating.
