Take a More Direct Route Into Storage
Shorten the Distance for Heavy Loads
Furniture, appliances, equipment, and dense cartons become harder to manage with every extra doorway or hallway. Drive-up access keeps the unloading path compact, which can make large moves easier to manage.
Create a Reliable Stop Between Jobs
Contractors, service professionals, and small businesses may need tools or inventory without carrying the entire supply everywhere. A drive-up storage unit can serve as a convenient pickup point between projects, deliveries, and customer visits.
How Much Drive-Up Space Will You Need?
Small Drive-Up Storage Units
Select facilities may offer smaller drive-up units for boxes, tools, sports equipment, compact furniture, or business supplies. This size can work well when exterior access is more important than having room for an entire household.
Medium Drive-Up Storage Units
Medium units can accommodate furniture from an apartment, larger equipment, shelving, inventory, and multiple stacks of cartons. Their added floor space also makes it easier to leave a clear path toward items stored farther inside.
Large Drive-Up Storage Units
Large drive-up units offer garage-sized space for multiroom moves, substantial business inventory, bulky furniture, and major storage projects. At participating locations, certain units may also accommodate qualifying vehicles when dimensions, door clearance, and facility policies allow.
Features and Amenities for Drive-Up Storage
Direct Exterior Access
Drive aisles allow you to position a vehicle near the unit entrance for loading and retrieval. The shorter route can save considerable effort when you’re handling large objects or several loads.
Computer-Controlled Access
Safeguard facilities use computer-controlled entry systems with individualized access credentials. This helps manage who enters the property and creates a defined access process for customers.
Convenient Access Hours
Drive-up storage is most valuable when you can reach it around the schedule that created the need. Safeguard locations provide access throughout the week, while exact hours vary by facility.
Motion-Sensor Security Cameras
Motion-sensor cameras help monitor activity throughout Safeguard Self Storage properties. They work alongside access controls, facility lighting, and the lock securing each individual unit.
