While convenience can often be paramount, the most convenient self-storage method, when available, would likely be drive-up storage. At StaxUP Storage we provide drive-up units to help make accessing your storage as quick as possible and as little of a hassle as possible - perfect for customers that place a high emphasis on speed and adaptability.
What is Drive-Up Storage?
Drive-up storage is a type of ground-level storage that allows you to park your vehicle next to your storage space. Because these units have an exterior entrance and do not require an elevator, hallway or stairway, you simply get into your vehicle, pull up to your storage area, open the door and load/unload your items.
At StaxUP Storage locations drive-up units are placed in rows with wide, easily accessible drive aisles that are suitable for a car, van, moving truck or trailer - providing flexibility for both residential and commercial storage purposes.
Benefits of Drive-Up Storage
Time Saving & Convenient Access
Storage is meant to save you time and energy - using drive-up storage you don't have to carry your boxes down long halls or climb stairs; you just drive up and load/unload directly from your vehicle. It's particularly beneficial for frequent visits, large/heavy items, or during large-scale moving projects.
More Efficient Moving Projects
Using a drive-up unit reduces the number of trips needed to move, thereby reducing the amount of time it takes and the amount of physical exertion required for moving - a big advantage for a stressful and tiring process.
Suitable for Large/Bulky Items
Large/bulky items such as furniture, appliances, equipment, tools and oversized items are ideal for drive-up units because they are hard to navigate through interior corridors.
Vehicle Friendly Storage
Some larger drive-up units can fit a motorcycle, small vehicle or even equipment trailer - giving you the ability to store your vehicle or equipment in a flexible manner rather than using your garage or driveway for storage.
When Drive-Up Storage Works Best
Drive-up storage is a good option when:
- You are moving/remodeling and need fast access to your belongings
- You frequently need to access the items you're storing
- You run a business and need to store inventory/equipment
- You need to store large furniture/tools/seasonal gear
- You prefer a hassle-free, frictionless storage experience
Considerations
Because drive-up units are outside they may not be climate controlled (depending on the specific StaxUP Storage location). If you have temperature sensitive items (like electronics, artwork, etc.) you might want to consider climate-controlled storage.
However, for many customers the convenience of having their storage unit located right next to their vehicle outweighs this concern.
