Drive-Up Storage

For businesses storing parts and materials or equipment, pulling your vehicle directly up to the storage unit to load and unload will be a major convenience.

Climate-Controlled Storage

If you're storing anything sensitive or want protection from extreme temperature changes, climate-controlled storage will help to make sure your products or materials stay in great condition while in storage.

Access Hours

Accessing your items when you need them is a must. Extended access hours from 6am to 10pm are common at our storage facilities and 24-hour access is available at some locations.

Retail Storage

Retailers utilize our storage units to expand capacity for inventory, seasonal point-of-sale displays, and for renovations in their showrooms.

With small business booming again, retailers are finding our service to be a great solution for expanding crowded stock rooms and avoiding moving their business to larger accommodations.

Many retailers use storage units for short-term surges in the inventory they need for peak shopping seasons. Our rentals are month-to-month, making it easy for retailers to come and go as the season demands.

Climate-controlled units are preferred to keep inventory and packaging in like-new condition.

E-Commerce Storage

E-Commerce retailers turn to storage units as a low-cost inventory storage solution for seasonal demand or to locate inventory in proximity to distribution centers.

Online retailers are faced with greater demands to deliver products direct to consumers as fast as possible, and storage units offer an inexpensive way to hold inventory and take bigger shipments than they may be able to receive at home or in small retail locations.

Retailers that use distribution centers can be challenged with the high cost of storage in those facilities. Our customers stage the inventory in our storage units, moving inventory to the distributor when needed and avoiding the premium for storing it in the distribution facilities.

Challenged with handling bulky equipment and parts they need to service customers, a storage unit or parking space for vehicles and trailers allows them to avoid the need for costly commercial real estate.

With today's pharmaceutical and medical device sales teams operating from home more and more, reps are finding our storage units an attractive solution for storing inventory. Rates for storing inventory in a climate-controlled storage unit are more cost-effective than the flex office space commonly used in the past. Regulations for certain products might prohibit home storage, or they simply don't have enough space at home.

Life Storage offers temperature-regulated storage environments to meet product regulations. And for peace of mind, our facilities offer security measures like surveillance systems and access controls. Each storage unit is secured with a lock that only the rep may open.

Realtors and Home Staging Professionals

Real Estate professionals have come to understand that a decluttered home is easier to sell, and a storage unit is a great way to temporarily relocate the homeowner's belongings.

Realtors and Home Staging professionals need to make the homes they are commissioned to sell the most attractive properties they can be. By removing some of the personal belongings of the seller into storage, buyers find the properties more open and easier to imagine with their own belongings inside.

Likewise, empty homes have an impersonal feel. With a few pieces of common furniture, an empty home becomes more attractive to buyers. Real estate professionals typically use storage units to hold staging furniture between projects.

Repair and service businesses are a growing segment of Life Storage customers, faced with demands for repairing their clients' equipment within an agreed or expected time frame. Supply chain delays challenge their ability to order and receive parts just in time for their service calls.
