Don ’ t waste space
Magnum ’ s affordable solution to any commercial or domestic storage problem
When space is at a premium , an affordable storage solution can be worth its weight in gold .
Whether it ’ s a business that ’ s bursting at the seams , a cramped workshop that ’ s lacking elbow room or a shop with limited space for stock , Magnum Storage has the solution .
The Teesside firm offers clean , easily accessible containers in a variety of sizes on three secure sites .
And customers – either domestic or commercial – can use the containers to store pretty much anything they want .
It may be spare office furniture . It could be important documentation that has to be kept for a set period and there ’ s not enough space within the business to store it . It could be a builder ’ s tools .
Another example is household items being stored while waiting for a house sale to be completed . One customer even kept a bouncy castle in a Magnum Storage container !
The fact is we all have a lot of stuff these days and finding space in the home to keep it all can be challenging .
From a business point of view , it ’ s not always cost-effective to use expensive floor space within an office or work area to store stock , equipment or supplies .
Fortunately , Magnum Storage is on hand to help .
Manager Philip Ingram says : “ Anyone can use our storage facilities – tradesmen can store their tools , customers can store their document archives . Once the customer signs up with us , they can put what they want in their container – and they hold the key !
“ We recommend that our customers come to see for themselves the actual containers and decide which size suits their requirements best , so they end up with the most cost-effective solution .
“ Not everyone can determine what size is most appropriate , so that ’ s why we always advise customers to pop along to see us , and together we can determine which one would be best suited .
“ It ’ s fair to say we ’ ve had a lot of customers who ’ ve been extremely satisfied with the containers and with the fact that we ’ ve helped them choose the correct size .”
Each container has a standard height and width with lockable double doors , but the depths vary from 6ft up to 40ft .
Magnum Storage has sites in Stockton , Billingham and Hartlepool , one of which has recently been expanded to create extra space for potential new customers .
The secure containers are accessible to keyholders 24 / 7 and , as Philip points out , are user-friendly .
“ Our containers are very easy to access ,” he says . “ Rather than stack materials in places that are awkward to access on their own premises , businesses often choose to use our containers because they can just back their vehicle up to the doors and load or unload directly from there . It ’ s just so much easier for them .
“ And we don ’ t have a minimum rental period . Our customers can use the containers for as long as they want , whether that ’ s a week or two , or for multiple months or even years .”
Of course , security is critical when it comes to storing items in a container and it ’ s a factor Magnum Storage takes very seriously indeed .
“ We have mobile security patrols that cover our sites at night , we have CCTV cameras monitoring the containers at all times and we have motion-sensor spotlights that alert us when someone may be in the yard ,” explains Philip .
“ There are multiple locking options and customers can have up to five locks on their storage container .”
