No need to buy cardboard boxes which take time to tape up with plastic based tape and may be only used once.
Each crate holds up to 80 Litres which is about the same as 2 of our ‘Standard’ boxes.
As a comparison a typical airline wheeled carry on bag will hold about 50 litres.
The crate lid flips open and closed making it easy to add and remove items.
Cardboard boxes need to be taped up each time something is added or removed.
Each crate has a slot to take a label card on the end so it is easy to know what is inside when your crates are stacked.
The removable card makes updating the contents neat and simple.
A stock of label cards is provided free of charge.
The crate lids will stay closed without tape or clips.
If you need to be sure your crate contents have not been tampered with secure them with a tamper proof locking clip available free from reception.
The clip breaks when the crate is opened.
Handy for storing sensitive archives when different people may have access to your storage unit.
Crates can also be tied shut with zip ties through eyelets in the lid stopping it from being easily opened.
Whilst water and pests are not something you normally have to consider at Storagebase there is always a risk that something unexpected might happen.
Crates will protect your things in transit and in storage far more effectively than cardboard.
