Construction & Contractor Storage FAQs
Find answers to your business storage questions below! For specific details on the types of things that can be stored, check your rental agreement.
Q.
What storage unit features do you recommend for equipment storage?
A.
To properly accommodate equipment, parts and other materials often used by construction businesses and contractors, we recommend a large storage unit with drive-up access for easy loading and unloading.
Q.
Can I repair equipment in my storage unit?
A.
Public Storage strives to provide a clean, welcoming environment to all customers. Because equipment work or maintenance can lead to potentially hazardous issues with oil and fluid disposal, we do not allow equipment repairs inside storage units. In addition, the noise, smoke and fumes that may result from repairing equipment in-unit can be disruptive to other renters.
Q.
Can I store a vehicle in my contractor storage unit?
A.
As with all our spaces, check your rental agreement on the types of things that can be stored. If you need a place to keep your truck, cargo van or trailer, we have storage solutions specifically for that! Our vehicle storage options include covered and uncovered parking spaces in open-air, fenced-in lots.
Q.
When can I pick up equipment from my storage unit?
A.
You’re free to load and unload equipment as you please during gate access hours. At most locations, gate access is conveniently available from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, but be sure to check with your facility to confirm. Every Public Storage location features entry points accessible via electronic keypad or the Public Storage app on your phone so you can load, unload and haul it off to your next worksite with ease.
Q.
How can I find available contractor storage near me?
A.
To see contractor storage availability in your area, use our storage locator tool that allows you to conveniently filter results by unit size and features, such as drive-up access.
