Safety Tips for your Sea Container Storage in London
When you are loading your items into your sea container storage in London, you may not think about whether you’re storing your belongings in the safest way possible – you might not even know how. Have no fear, Store That are here to ensure you can store everything safely in our storage units!
Stacking boxes correctly
First and foremost, you want to make sure you are stacking your belongings correctly. Any heavy boxes will need to go on the bottom of your piles and stacks. This will not only give a strong base for any other boxes you place on top but will also prevent heavy items falling if anything topples over. Place lighter things on top, such as boxes with bedding and clothes in.
Items you use often
Place items that you use often on the top or in a space in which there are no obstructions. Avoid packing them behind any large items and avoid stacking them on top of each other. We suggest placing them right by the door so that when you access your sea container storage in London, you can just grab what you need and go!
Lifting heavy items
When placing heavy items in your storage unit or removing them, make sure you lift them correctly, so you don’t hurt your back. Alternatively, if you feel like it is too heavy, you can always bring a friend to help you move your items in and out.
Don’t store perishable items
This should go without saying but don’t store perishable items within your storage unit! This could be foods, plants, and animal products. We have a strict “no foods and no flammables”
policy on site. As a hard rule – keep perishables out of your unit. Find out more about what is prohibited here.
