Why storage units feel full so quickly

Storage units often become inefficient when items are stacked directly on the floor and vertical space is underutilised. This limits visibility and access within the unit, increasing handling time and the risk of items being damaged or overlooked. As units become harder to navigate, customers are more likely to experience frustration and underuse the available space.

Shelving designed to work inside storage units

Freestanding shelving systems are designed to sit within the storage unit without requiring any wall or floor fixings, making them suitable for use in temporary or permanent storage environments. These systems help utilise vertical space more effectively, allowing stored items to be accessed safely and with minimal handling. By creating clear structure within the unit, shelving also helps keep stored goods organised, visible, and easier to manage over time.

Common shelving types used in storage units

Light duty shelving
Commonly used for boxes, archive materials, and household items. Provides simple vertical organisation without overloading the storage unit.

Medium duty shelving
Suitable for heavier items such as tools, equipment, and business stock. Offers improved load capacity while maintaining clear access within the unit.

Adjustable modular systems
Designed to be reconfigured as storage needs change. Allows shelving layouts to be adjusted or expanded over time without replacing the entire system.
