subject: Know The Essential Factors Of Goods Storage [print this page] Good storage is pivotal when you are relocating to a new place or want to store goods due to seasonal changes. We want to handle the mess of storing the household goods while shifting from home to home. Same is the case with commercial goods which have to be stored in a way that their value remains intact. A storage facility has to be spacious, secure and accesible. Most storage facilites provide lease each month and renewal so that you can store any goods or items for as long as possible.
Every storage facility must be assessed on the following,
1.
Climate control facility: You have to keep a few essential things in mind. When it is extremely cold outside, the storage unit should be warm and when it is hot and humid outside, the storage facility should be cold. This is important to prevent any possible damage to your goods. Make sure that the storage building is solid enough and there are no water leaks.
2.
Insurance policy: This is perhaps the most vital point to remember. You have to guard your good against vagaries of nature and human activities like robbery, arson etc. The goods which are stored in a storage facility at rent, must be insured.
3.
Space utility: The quantity of good that you want to store must be adjusted according to the size of the storage unit. Unnecessarily stacking due to lack of proper space may lead to damage to goods.
4.
Security: Your goods are valuable to you so ensure 24-hour security. Choose a storage facility that has high fences with iron bars and a security guard. Today, even surveillance cameras and electronic gates prove to be excellent security measures.
5.
Accessibility: I never prefer a storage facility that is far from my house. I am sure you will agree with me on this. Check out the location of the unit first and then how your goods will be placed in it. When you are inside the building you should be able to access good whenever you want!
Storage unit auctions- A great way of making money!!
When the tenants have not paid rent for the stored goods, an auction is held. This is done to clear out the so storage items by putting them up for re-sale to public. These auctions are a good way to make money if you find a really good deal. How many times will you actually go to a storage auction? Not very often, right? So, look around the sale able items and find the catch. Set your budget limits so and do not let over-excitement lead you to a wrong decision. Be careful and don't bid for just any storage unit auction. Go for only those which will have a higher yield at the auction.
