Tip #1: Always verify the service provider and location
In Israel, it’s not uncommon to be promised a storage facility in a prime location, with a solid building made of concrete and glass. Yet, upon inspection, you might find your belongings stored in a shipping container in the middle of a field. Yes, it happens! To avoid such surprises, always check the actual location and verify the reliability of the provider before signing any agreements.
Tip #2: Be cautious of storage facilities boasting high ceilings
Many self-storage facilities advertise ceiling heights of 2.5 to 3 meters as a major advantage, claiming it gives you more storage space for your money. However, any professional will tell you that lifting items beyond 2 meters is nearly impossible without additional equipment. Think about it—most people can only raise objects as high as their outstretched arms.
While it is technically possible to stack items higher, you would need equipment such as a ladder to do so. But realistically, how many people are willing to buy a ladder just for their storage unit? This means that any space above 2 meters is essentially wasted—dead space you’re paying for but can’t effectively use.
At our storage system, you only pay for the cubic meters your belongings actually occupy. We assess the required volume accurately so you pay solely for the space you need. Additionally, our website features a handy storage calculator to help you estimate the volume of your items quickly and easily.
Tip #3: Consider durable plastic boxes for maximum protection
We provide sturdy plastic boxes that significantly outperform cardboard boxes in durability and reliability. Each of our boxes can hold up to 60 liters—approximately 50% more capacity than a standard cardboard box. They resist deformation, tearing, and breaking, and can safely hold up to 35 kilograms of weight.
Moreover, every box can be sealed with a tamper-proof lock, ensuring that no one has opened it during storage or transportation. While these boxes may cost a little more, they guarantee the safety of your items and minimize risks during transit.
