How is container storage different from a regular self storage unit?

The biggest difference is how you get to your gear. At an indoor facility you usually park, find a trolley, wait for a lift and push your load down a corridor. At Sunshine Self Storage in Albion, you back your ute, van or trailer right up to your container and load straight in. No lifts, no trolleys, no corridors. In and out in ten minutes is the goal.

The second difference is price. Indoor facilities pay for big buildings, reception desks and climate control, and that cost lands on your bill. We don't have those overheads, so we are up to 57% cheaper than the indoor walk-in facilities and big chains nearby.

The third difference is the box itself. A shipping container is solid steel, airtight, waterproof and dust-proof, with thick rubber door seals and an anti-theft lockbox for your padlock.

What stays the same is the security. You get your own access card and alarm code, a card-access gate, high fences, and back-to-base alarms and cameras monitored 24/7.

To be frank, our containers are not climate controlled. If you need that and a concierge, we are not it. If you want somewhere secure to park your gear for a fair price, you are in the right place. Check sizes and prices online, or call us 03 9010 6147.
