Why Self Storage Units are Great For Tradies

Tradie Self Storage Newmarket

Home Storage in Newmarket & Surrounds Simply Doesn’t Work For Tradies

“Oh Steve, could you move the Camira? I need to get the Torano out, so I can get to the Commodore.” Darryl Kerrigan, The Castle. If you’re a tradie working in and around Newmarket or Ashgrove, and you’ve been storing gear in the garage at home, you can probably relate to the agony beneath the humour of this classic quote from the iconic Aussie film, The Castle. 

Why? Well, assuming your rellies and housemates are like the majority of us, they probably enjoy parking their cars inside and/or in front of your garage. That can really cramp your storage space and create havoc when you want to retrieve your tools and equipment. Every time you need something—especially a big something, such as a generator or compressor—you have to go through a whole rigmarole, just to get it out of the garage and loaded onto your ute. This takes time and could cause you to arrive late at your worksite.

What’s more, the oil, car emissions, dirt, and grime that accumulate in the garage, combined with the high temperatures and humidity that often occur in Queensland garages, will damage and corrode tools and equipment. What you need is safe secure storage in Newmarket where your tools and equipment will be protected from damage and theft.

Vans, Utes & Trailers Don’t Provide Adequate Storage For Tradies Either

So, home storage in Newmarket doesn’t work. What about storing things in your van, ute or trailer? Well, if you’ve tried this approach you probably know that it comes with its own struggles.

Firstly, it’s hard to find enough space in your vehicle to store all the gear you need. Things tend to get jammed on top of each other, making it hard to find the things you’re after. Plus, you could wind up damaging costly tools and equipment if they’re packed too tightly or collide with each other while you drive.

Secondly, with everything stashed in your work vehicle, you’re probably lugging around a lot of equipment that you don’t really need. This adds to your fuel bill and the wear and tear on your workhorse.

Most concerning of all is the fact that, if your vehicle gets stolen, all your valuable tools and machinery go with it. This can impact your ability to do your job, business continuity breaks down, clients get cranky, your good name suffers, and the runaround getting quotes and chasing insurance claims is enough to drive you mad. 

Now you’re probably thinking, yeah, yeah, I know all of this, but what’s the answer? Where can I find a storage unit in Newmarket or Ashgrove for my tools and equipment that’s safe, secure, easily accessible, and provides protection, not only from the elements by also from pests and theft? 

Read on, it’s easier than you think.

Increased Lifespan of Tools & Machinery

As mentioned earlier, storing tools and equipment in your home garage, garden shed, van, ute or trailer exposes them to damaging dirt, dust, and grime—not to mention the harsh Queensland weather! 

These elements combined take a heavy toll on even the best of tools, reducing their lifespan and costing you time and money every time you need to replace them. 

Fortunately, you can avoid unnecessary downtime due to malfunctioning equipment by storing your gear in one of the clean, weatherproof, pest-controlled self storage units available at our Newmarket self storage facility.
