Moving office: Which is the best storage solution?
Moving office can be a highly stressful, testing time for any business. The whole process can be made even more stressful if your new office isn't finished on time or if you aren't able to move in when you'd like. If this is the case, it's quite likely that you're going to need to put some of your office furniture into storage for the time being.
With so many storage solutions available it can be hard to know exactly which type of storage solution your company actually needs and how much you should be paying for the service. The storage solution for your business will ultimately depend on what you want to store and for how long you want to store it.
Palletised business storage facilities are a great choice for any business needing to store any office equipment or furniture, such as computers or chairs. These facilities normally consist of shelved containers and racking systems, which have been specifically designed for office storage.
If you need to store something a bit smaller then document archiving facilities might be the best storage option for you. This storage service can be used by businesses needing temporary storage space for important documents or for businesses who just want to free up a bit of space in their office environment. This storage service can include the supply of archive boxes and the delivery and destruction of documents once they are no longer needed.
Security cages are a very secure storage option for businesses. Items usually stored in these cages include high profile computers and valuable items such as pieces of art or antiques.
Customs bonded warehousing and domestic storage are also great storage options for businesses needing to store personal or professional belongings.
Most of the storage facilities available offer 24 hour security, elaborate alarm systems and an affordable price if you decide to commit your office belongings for a considerable amount of time.
Key questions to ask yourself when considering office storage solutions include; how secure is it? How easy is it to access? How affordable is it? And does it offer value for money? If the answers to all these questions are satisfactory then it's a good chance that you've found the right storage solution for your office move.
