Who Needs Storage for Equipment?

Good gear takes up space. Storage gives it a proper home.

  • Tradies: Lock up tools, ladders and site gear.
  • Landscapers: Store mowers, trimmers and seasonal machines.
  • Builders and contractors: Hold scaffolding, compactors and generators between projects.
  • Cleaning businesses: Keep water blasters and backup machines handy.
  • Home gym owners: Free a room by storing treadmills, racks and weights.

You also skip the cost of a warehouse lease. Ask your accountant how storage costs apply to your business.

What to look for

What to Look for in Equipment Storage Solutions

Check these four things before you commit.

Real Security

Tools and machines are valuable. Look for monitoring, lighting and secure access. Our sites offer all three.

Easy Loading

Heavy gear needs a clear path. Ask about vehicle access, driveway width and loading space.

A Clean, Dry Space

Damp causes rust. Ask how the site protects metal tools and machinery.

Flexible Terms

Jobs start and finish fast. Choose terms that let you scale up or down without a long lock-in.

Compare your options

Equipment Storage Ideas: Shed, Yard or Storage Facility

Each option has trade-offs. Here is how they compare.

Equipment Storage Shed

Handy at home, but it fills fast. Large items rarely fit through the door.

Open Yard or Ute

Free, but exposed to weather and theft. Rust and damage can cost more in the long run.

Spare Room or Garage

Convenient for small gear and home gym kit. It steals living and parking space.

Storage Facility

You get secure space, room to load and no clutter at home. Compare your local options.

How to Prepare Equipment for Storage

A little prep prevents rust and damage. Follow these eight steps.

  1. Clean it. Remove dirt, concrete and grass. Residue holds moisture.
  2. Drain fuel and fluids. Follow the manual. Fuel is a dangerous good.
  3. Remove batteries. Store them at home and charge them now and then.
  4. Oil moving parts. Light oil on metal parts helps stop rust.
  5. Secure the load. Use tie-downs and wheel chocks on wheeled gear.
  6. Use shelves and pallets. Keep tools off the floor and stack heavy items low.
  7. Leave a walkway. Keep a clear path to what you use most.
  8. Record serial numbers. Take photos of each item for insurance.

Never store fuel, gas bottles or other hazardous items without approval. Ask our team if you are unsure.
