We take pride in helping our customers grow—and we’re excited to share news of a self-storage expansion that’s now well underway.
Earlier this week, the first load of four 20ft one trip containers was successfully collected from our Darlington A66 depot. These units are heading straight to a customer site where a significant development is taking place to increase storage capacity. This is the first in a series of collections that will continue over the coming days and into next week as the customer works to complete the next phase of their facility.
🏗️ Expansion in Progress: Customer-Led Growth in Action
The customer, who has already built a strong presence in the self-storage sector, has recently cleared and redeveloped part of their site to make way for additional units. With demand on the rise and available space quickly filling up, they turned to us to provide a fast, efficient solution—and our 20ft one trip containers were the perfect fit.
One trip containers are a popular choice for storage facilities due to their like-new condition, structural integrity, and clean, weatherproof interiors. These qualities make them ideal for both short- and long-term storage requirements and help businesses present a professional, secure offering to their own customers.
🚚 Fast Turnaround, Fully Inspected
In this instance, the customer arranged their own haulage, coordinating directly with our team for on-site collection from our Darlington depot. With years of experience in facilitating both deliveries and collections, our operations team ensured the process was smooth, safe, and efficient.
Before any unit leaves our depot, it undergoes a comprehensive inspection process. Each container is checked for:
- Structural soundness
- Functioning doors and seals
- Clean and dry interiors
- Weatherproof integrity
- Lockbox security (if fitted)
This thorough preparation ensures that every container leaving our yard is immediately ready for use—no delays, no surprises.
🔄 Phased Collection Strategy
The initial four containers mark just the start. In total, the customer will collect several loads from us as they bring their new section of the facility online. This staggered approach allows them to manage logistics effectively on their end while maintaining progress on-site.
The remaining containers will be collected over the coming days and into the following week, allowing the customer to finish populating the area and prepare for their next wave of self-storage users.
